Keep calling your Congress Critters....they have pagers and cellphones that they receive messages on up to the minute that they vote.

Rep. Waxman (D-pig snout, CA) just intdroduced his bill....without disclosing another 300 pages and last minute admendments who, God knows what, is included.

Anyways....we are in for a helluv an afternoon, with our Constitutional Republic at stake at the worst, and our capitalist, free market way of life at the best.

I can’t watch this any longer. Every minute i spend listening to pig nose and his minions makes me feel DUMBER. And it is like watching the Jonestown mass suicide in slow motion, except we are killing our own jobs and economy, all for a scientific delusion which is so easily refuted! ARGGGHHHH!!!

Cap and trade liveblog, Pt II: Pay attention to House floor games
By Michelle Malkin • June 26, 2009 02:42 PM (Continuing from morning liveblogging…)

At approx. 2:35pm Eastern, GOP Rep. Joe Barton announced that there is now a placeholder in the bill to be determined later.

Barton notes that this is unprecedented. He can’t recall any final passage of a bill that has a placeholder in it.

What the hell is going on?

This is deliberation?

Barton continues: “If you haven’t made your deal yet, come on down to the floor.” Waxman is making deals to pass the cap and trade bill right on the House floor.

Barton: “This is unprecedented…At least he’s doing it out in the open now.”

It sounds like Waxman is trying to buy his way to victory right on the floor of the House.

Call Snyder's office at 202-225-2506 and ask to speak to Legislative Director, James Savage. He was in office as of 1:45pm Central Time. The guy claimed that Snyder was still reading the bill and whined about amendments. He also quoted the CBO and I stated that fossil fuels are less than 4% of the Earth's Carbon (From the EIA survey of the Manhattan Institute) he said "other people say otherwise". I also talked about HR2846, the American Energy Act, James claimed there was some nuclear power plant study provisions in the bill but couldn't be specific.

I'm told that Phynaus Wilson is another contact, but he wasn't in office. More about Snyder's office staff here:

Anyone heard what Kirk is going to do? Can’t believe a republican would even be considering it! Wonder what he got in exchange

"American Clean Energy and Security Act"

A complete bastardization of the language.

I still can’t get an answer from Congressman Petri, RINO from Wisconsin on how he will vote on this. If he votes yes I will spend every last dime and every last minute I have on this earth making sure he will NEVER be re-elected or serve in any government capacity again.

John Boehner is so damn ineffective. Droning on and on reading sections instead of a prepared rhetorically-strong list of arguments.

Damn, 11 GOPers vote against Forbes Amendment. Looks like the final vote won’t be as close as we thought.
