Resolution opposing cap and trade adopted by Ohio Senate Tuesday
Star Beacon ^ | CARL E. FEATHER

Posted on 07/05/2009 4:36:29 AM PDT by Halfmanhalfamazing

The Ohio Senate resolution was sponsored by Chris Widener, R-Springfield, who had 19 co-sponsors. The resolution states that Ohio receives more than 85 percent of its electricity from coal.

Cap and trade will result in a massive windfall of billions of dollars for the federal government through the sale of emission credits. Critics say the program won’t result in an overall global decrease in emissions because many U.S. industries will relocate to countries with less stringent standards, taking away American jobs in the process.

Based upon these concerns, the Ohio Senate is urging Congress to refuse to enact cap-and-trade legislation. The resolution passed Tuesday, 21-11. Capri Cafaro, D-Hubbard, voted against it.

Licoln spoke those words. I do no think they apply to how the south felt. I am a from the north, and what is going on is trying to enslave a free people.

For your interest.

Yank, tell me, how does it feel to have a Federal Monster breathing down your neck. LOL! I love how arrogant Northerners can project onto the South how they "felt". Boy am I enjoying watching Yankees squirm!!!

I am stunned.

Does Gov.Strickland (D) need to sign this or has he already gotten on board?

Who delivers this message to Sherrod Brown, who has amendments in the bill and will vote for it? How about Voinovich too?

Yeah, I know. I posted that one too. :-)

But hey! I’m glad people are paying attention and linking stories together about how the states are fighting back. By all means, keep it up. We’re doing the job that the mainstream media just don’t want to do.

You know what central_va, your responses are inappropriate for this thread or are you a troll.

Right now, in this present time in our Nation's history, we need to be standing up together, not trying to tear each apart as we face an out of control super majority government.

If you're not on board with those efforts, why are you on FR?

First, they have to persuade their own Marcy Kaptor to stop selling them out for billions of dollars of pork, as she did in her House vote for the cap-and-tax bill. Why do they vote for Democrats who stab the citizens of Ohio in the back?

A FREE REPUBLIC requires/implies those states legislatures are willing to leave said republic. I see no teeth in these wimpy attempts at states rights, these bills are a joke. The irony of when it comes from a Northern state is just to much to take....LOL

If you think feel good measures from a few state legislatures and tea perties are going to get the job done, you are the troll.

Another state saying FU to Obama.

And likely to get FU back, but in more than words.

States will have to do more than protest verbally. They will have to outright refuse to allow enforcement of illegal federal laws. Will any have the will to do so?

When you get right down to it, if a state refuses to acknowledge a federal law within its territory, in most cases there really isn't much the feds can do short of sending in the military and occupying the state. A very tall order.
