*Urgent-Oppose the Cap and Trade 'Tax' Increase Bill, H.R. 2454

bump been calling for days.

Call your senators and reference this bill that Senator Kay Bailey of Texas Sponsored (Currently running for Governor of Texas) . A companion bill, Weather Modification Research and Technology Transfer Authorization Act of 2005 (H.R.2995), was introduced June 20, 2005, by Representative Mark Udall (D-Colorado) in the U.S. House of Representatives, without co-sponsors. On June 27, 2005, the bill was referred to the Subcommittee on Environment, Technology, and Standards.[1] Tell them we know they are manipulating the weather. I will be contacting her office and to make sure she votes against it

Do not give into evil, but proceed ever more boldly against it.Do not give into evil, but proceed ever more boldly against it.

How cap and trade is going to stimulate altenative energy supplies. Isn't this something that the REAL MARTKETPLACE has been trying to do for decades. How is stealing more money from the private sector going to help fund private investment into alternative energy sources ? Aren't these people proven thieves, remember the $15 trillion that the FED has stolen and given to their friends ?? And now cap and trade is going to jump start the green revolution ?? I've got some ocean front property for sale in Arizona after your all finished with this deal ? In the meantime I'll be reloading ammo and cleaning my Mauser.

1 FAX IS WORTH 10,000
CONSTITUENT OPINIONS (POSSIBLY).

A fax is better than an email and much faster than a letter.

Think your letter doesn't matter? Think again! Most congress members count 1 letter as representing the opinion of 1000 constituents. A letter that drops out of their fax could be worth 10000 opinions! So it's time to stop complaining and start faxing!

I sent a page yesterday that contained numbers, but not the fax numbers. My Mistake. I apologize. This page has more info.
Get 'em ladies and gentlemen!

In LIBERTY!!

It couldn't be any better could it? Are they just voting on the Cap and Tax tonight or are they voting on another bill Introduced by the Republicans as well?

Anyone know? I haven't found any info on C4L

Never mind....they're voting now....God help us.

Do we all remember when our Reps and Senators ignored our voices for both stimulus bills? Bastards.

DC lines open past 5

What is this bill? I just tuned into C-Span live stream and heard something about the Forbes Amendment?

Is this a good bill gents or a bad one? Where is the info on this?

This Bill is evolving right now, as we speak, they are merging the new documents with the "old bill"

I wonder what they are sneaking into it.

Could you imagine you sold a contract to someone and as they signed off on the document, the language was changing up until the last letter on their name was signed

repost from another thread*
figured I would add with my Bump for Liberty

Somebody just sent me this, try it out!

Cheers to the Congressman who asked for a moment of silence for those who will loose their jobs with the passing of this bill!

Camp ;)

202-224-4814 voted for the carbon offset bill a few years ago and within a few days he put his wooded land up for carbon offset purchase... Can You say conflict of interest?

just stumped the house!!! Did anyone else see that??? No one has access to the 300 page amendment that was added last night. The speaker avoided their question on where they could see that amendment by saying they were not asking a parliamentary inquiry! This is insane!

Thank you for contacting me regarding the American Clean Energy and Security Act. It's good to hear from you.

On March 31, 2009, House Energy and Commerce Chairman Waxman (D-CA) and Energy and Environment Subcommittee Chairman Markey (D-MA) released their version of the American Clean Energy and Security Act. Formal consideration of their bill is expected in Committee during the coming weeks.

This proposal will mandate a national cap-and-tax rule, capping the carbon emissions of every domestic energy producer in America by forcing them to purchase allowances for their greenhouse gas emissions. This tax will not, however, be borne by large energy conglomerates and their executives - as the proponents of this plan would have you believe. Instead, the tax will be passed on to average American families who will have less money to save and invest during tough economic times like these.

According to research conducted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the cap-and-tax proposal will increase the annual cost of energy by up to $3,128 for the average American family. The true costs associated with this proposal far outpace funds allocated by the President in his budget, inviting trillions of dollars in future tax increases. As energy producers absorb cap-and-tax costs, they'll be forced to send American jobs overseas to remain profitable, further weakening American labor and its spending capacity.

Coal is an important industry in Montana as it offers employment for thousands and provides 60% of our state's energy. For years I've supported a comprehensive energy approach that promotes cleaner coal, alternative sources and increased conservation. We must also work to encourage the development of new energy technology. Unfortunately, the cap and tax proposal relies heavily on technology that is currently unavailable and untested, creating a host of new federal mandates and proposing restrictions on popular consumer goods.

With the pocketbooks of Montana families subject to fluctuating energy prices, Congress must refrain from passing legislation that reduces our energy supply, increases the cost of electricity and exports jobs overseas. Montana can and should play a key role in the future of clean energy; but to solve our nation's energy problems, we must explore all potential solutions without punishing American workers and their families.

Thanks for contacting me about the American Clean Energy and Security Act. If you get a chance, I encourage you to visit my website at http://www.house.gov/rehb... where you can find the latest news about what's happening in Congress. Also, if you haven't already done so, please be sure to sign up for my free E-Newsletter at http://www.house.gov/rehb... which will help keep you up-to-date with what is going on in Washington, D.C. and how it affects Montana. It's a good source for news stories, blog posts and to read what other Montanans just like you are saying.

Sincerely,
Denny Rehberg
Montana's Congressman

**the soul would have no rainbow if the eyes had no tears**

According to both Senator Kyl's and Senator JOHN MCCAINS offices in Washington about 30 minutes ago....they are both voting NO.

Makes me giddy!

Just called! Lets do this!

has ron been up yet?

Ron Paul is my President

What the hell is this guy doing? Hes asking right now for $50mil from this bill for Hurricane research!!! What a god damn joke! I thought he might be good on economic issues after his strong support for 1207, but this is just ridiculous!

Dear Friend of Liberty,

Legislative sources on the Hill have informed me that a vote on "Cap-and-Trade" (Cap-and-Tax) is likely to come around 5 pm eastern today.

Once again, most legislators have no idea what is in the 1,201 page bill about to be put up for final vote.

Passing Cap-and-Trade is a very high priority for the Obama administration, but a procedural vote earlier this morning only produced a 217-205 favorable result. This very tight margin proves your calls and emails are having an impact.

Now is the time to turn up the pressure. Call your representative, .............(202) ............ immediately and urge him to vote against this latest tax scheme. (American families could end up paying several thousand dollars a year in higher energy bills as a result of HR 2454.)

Make sure Representative ........... at (202) ............ hears from you! For email and fax information, visit our HR 2454 action page here.

NOTE: Tell them even Greenpeace NOW opposes this bill!

http://www.dailypaul.com/...

in Indiana only ond admitted he was for the bill, that rep. is Andre Carson 202-225-4011, told him that I was not from his district but if he signed it that I will be at the next Tea Party in his district with a sign pointing out his support for this bill and I also invited him to attend to explain himself.

about pulling the bill. Stalling 4 time need more votes!

Dean Heller R-NV. DC staff member said Heller will for sure be voting against the bill if it comes to a floor vote.

Just heard a rumor that the bill has been or is about to be pulled for now.

will send job's to China and our economy to hell!

Who said that.. GREAT!

is the sponsor of this bill. It is important we do not forget about this man. We all need to take a strong stance against Waxman, and be sure he does not win reelection! Whether this bill passes or not, we must ensure Waxman gets kicked out of office in 2010!
