Obama/Waxman push $3,100 per-family tax by Memorial Day!
From the Desk of: Steve Elliott, President, Grassfire.org Alliance
Our sources are telling me that President Obama and Rep. Henry Waxman are pushing for a key vote on the Carbon Tax BEFORE Memorial Day -- a tax that studies show will cost each family $3,100 each and every year.
Last week, Obama met behind closed doors with House Democrats to pressure them to pass the Carbon Tax. Now, Waxman is even contemplating skipping the Subcommittee hearing on the $2 trillion Carbon Cap and Trade Tax and fast-tracking this new tax straight to his Energy and Commerce Committee.
Waxman wants this all done by the end of next week... and Team Obama is turning up the heat on key Democrats in the House to pressure quick passage of the Carbon Tax.
+ + Why Obama and Waxman Are Fast-Tracking The CO2 Tax
There's a reason Obama and Waxman are pulling out the stops to pressure Democrats to pass this tax through the Committee...
Obama, Waxman, Pelosi and the gang fear that any delays could kill their precious plan to "save the planet" and give the government the power to tax and control the air!
That's because even some Democrats are now getting nervous about imposing such a large tax at a time when the economy is struggling. Reports indicate this new tax could cost the average American over $3,000 every year and result in 7 million lost jobs!
And the American people overwhelmingly do NOT want the Carbon Tax (by a 2-to-1 margin according to Pew Research).
+ + Help me short-circuit the fast-tracking of the Carbon Tax
I need your help right now to short-circuit this latest effort to fast-track Obama's Big Government agenda.
I want to flood the members of the Energy and Commerce Committee with faxes from citizens opposing this latest Big Government imposition.
Go here to schedule your faxes to key House members and tell them you oppose the Obama/Waxman plan to fast-track the Carbon Cap-and-Trade Tax:

(As always, we encourage every Grassfire team member to send their own faxes. Our FaxFire system is an optioanal service for your convenience. Click the link for all the support information to send your own faxes.)
+ + Global "reset" of the economy under way!
Our team had to dig to uncover what Obama and Waxman are doing.
If the cap-and-trade scheme passes, it will initiate the most radical restructuring of our economy toward socialism in American history. One leader is actually calling what is happening in the economy a global "reset" of capitalism!
And don't be fooled... Al Gore and "Big Environment" will get filthy rich in the process (see below for a link to my blog where I connect the dots).
Waxman wants to fly under the radar and push the Carbon Tax Scheme before the American people realize what is happening.The most crucial vote on the Carbon Tax cap-and-trade scheme may be taking place before Memorial Day...
Please help.

Thank you for taking action!

P.S. I know I've covered a lot of ground in this update. And of course, the liberal media are not covering the Obama/Waxman plan to fast-track the carbon tax. That's why I have made a more detailed post on my ResistNet blog -- complete with web links. Go here:

And what is the point of this tax?????
They will tax the very air we breathe. now that is creative finance.
Anybody else notice that everything these goofballs are doing involves vailed taxes that in the end will be payed by average folks?
In the end, some of the money will be "redistributed" to the non-wealthy, who, you may notice, never paid any money in and mostly pay no taxes. Of course, fifty to sixty percent of the money will get stuck in Washington to fund the bureaucracy.
The winners, who actually make trillions of dollars, are the government and the producers of carbon-friendly products, like windmills, solar cells, and Al Gore's "Carbon Credits" firm. And if I had to guess, I would say those firms probably get a healthy tax break because they are so "greeeeeeen"!
IT'S ALL JUST ANOTHER FORM OF REDISTRIBUTION!
I just got this email and it contains phone numbers of the key people to phone today. I will post them here in just a minute.
