Boxer, Kerry Set to Introduce Climate Bill in Senate

Ending some nine months of closed-door deliberations, Sens. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) and John Kerry (D-Mass.) will release global warming legislation Wednesday that they hope will be the vehicle for broader Senate negotiations and an eventual conference with the House.

The bill's authors said last week that they expect to start hearings early next month on the bill, with a markup in Boxer's Environment and Public Works Committee to follow soon thereafter. They also acknowledged that their legislation is just a "starting point" in a bid to win over moderate and conservative Democrats, as well as Republicans.

"I hope what we've done is constructive and well-received," Kerry, the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, said Thursday. "I have no pretensions, and neither does Barbara, that this will be the final product. It is a starting point, a commitment, full-fledged, across party lines to do what we need to do to protect the planet for the next century."

Murray up here in Seattle is in competition with them for that title.
I know Kerry wants to save the planet. One trip on his sugar mommas gulfstream at a time.

Not sure about DC but down south we are having a cold snap. Wouldn’t that be appropriate for their announcement!

.... will release global warming legislation

Another way to fleece the American taxpayers.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

It's all about power and privilege - theirs.

The socialist house of cards is falling. There are too many dependant grasshoppers to feed. The democrat base is demanding more cheese, and the socialists have to find a way, any way, to get it for them.
No cheese - no voters - no more limos, private jets, mansions, Delmonico steaks, or fine wines for the left wing politicians.

“Can it be undone in 2011?”

Well that is what I was thinking. Heck, make it a national campaign theme for the GOP congressional ballot; “Elect us and we will undo all the socialism.”

A guy can dream can’t he?

They might amend this bill to ram a public-option health care plan through. That was one of Reed’s plans.

If Lincoln of Ar, Bennet of CO, Landreau of LA, Reid of Nv, Dorgan of ND and Sphincter all want to go down, this is the avenue.
