Cap and Trade is nothing but a huge tax. It is a power grab for money. It is the government wanting to take money from the private sector, from the American taxpayer, to pay for it's schemes and farcical plans such as health care. It is going to cost YOU. It is NOT based on science, it is NOT based on fact. It is actually based on faulty computer models. Think about it... CO2 is NOT a poison. It is necessary for life on this planet. It HELPS plants grow, WE exhale it. Carbon is not that dangerous poison they are making you believe. The climate changes, it goes up and down. Always has, always will.
We are called to be good stewards of the land, not make the land god.
Call your congressman and tell them you don't want our nation's future to be jeopardized by junk science. Encourage them to
follow the lead of the Australians in seeking out truth and tell them to not force feed the United States Cap and Trade laws that will do nothing but harm our already fragile economy. Tell them to
read the other side, it's well documented and thousands upon thousands of scientists disagree with the "official" reports on climate change (convenient how it is no longer global warming.....). And while you're at it, tell them to
stop suppressing alternate views. Maybe if the media would do it's job and be unbiased (we can dream) then the American public would realize what a load of garbage they are being force fed.
CALL. Tell them NO to Cap and Trade. Tell them NO to more taxes (that's all it is, is a tax that will hit every person that uses energy).
Don't know where to call? Go to
This site... enter your zip code and it will bring up your Representative's name and phone number. It even has talking points you can use to explain what you want, the bill name etc.

I urge you to vote NO on H.R. 2454, the Waxman-Markey cap-and-trade bill. |

I
am sick and tired of out-of-touch Washington politicians taxing me and
my family. H.R. 2454 has nothing to do with helping the environment, it
is a huge tax hike that will hurt American families, kill American jobs
and cripple our economy as it struggles to emerge from the recession. |

Environmental
extremists have convinced big government politicians that they can
seize control of the energy sector by claiming this bill helps the
environment. |
| 4) |
But
nothing could be further from the truth. The EPA even admits that
cap-and-trade could increase global carbon dioxide emissions as jobs
flee the country to produce goods overseas safe from business-killing
carbon regulations. |
| 5) |
Do not enact the biggest tax in history. Vote NO on H.R. 2454.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Great post. Cap and trade is horsecrap and it's only gonna make things worse. But you know- Obama campaigned on "Change." Well, he certainly fulfilled his promises- because that's all the American people are going to have left when all is said and done- pocket change.
John Boehner will be against this cap and trade nonsense, unfortunately our democratic congressman will be unswayed.
This is worth doing!!!
thanks. Yes, important. prayers
The whole point of cap and trade is to hike the price of electricity and gas so that Americans will use less.
A major sub-point is the creation of a new form of derivatives -- carbon derivatives -- to trade in a mostly unregulated derivative market. Recently, the derivative market shrank for the first time in the market's history. What better way to revive the gambling profits than to add a new derivative!
Global warming is the respectable reason behind cap and trade. The House bought into the reason. Waxman-Markey narrowly passed. Will the American people wake up and shake up Congress before it is too late?
