"behind the scenes they've acknowledged the energy price tsunami that is coming"- excerpt

We get the Govt we deserve. If we don't like it WE have the power to change it. If we're apathetic we're pathetic. Vote the bums out!

[Scarecrow]

God help us if crap like this passes. and everyday it's some kind of new crap that they are trying to pass to screw our nation. absolutely disgusting!

This is nothing but treason, this legislation can completely destroy all industry in a country built on industry. Make sure we all find out who voted for this bill and let them know they are out of a job when re-election comes, We should do everything in our power to contribute to whom ever is running against them and make sure they know it. The whole world advised the govt against this bill and what do this self serving pieces of shit do...they pass it against what the world and more importantly the country wants...PURE F****** TREASON!!

Man caused climate change is the largest hoax the libs have come up with yet. Science is not science if the words theory or consensus are used. It is a real shame when you can not elect honest people to government offices.

Don't forget why this bill is being pushed so hard... and who is pushing it....


Why, in the middle of a global economic crisis, would we even consider a bill that the Wall Street Journal says would be "the biggest tax in American history"?

Because it's not about saving the cute, fuzzy, man-eating polar bears, the spotted owl, the cumulus clouds or the caribou. The science is not settled on this at all — not even close.

This is about power, money and control.

But America is caught up with "Hey, did you hear? Michael Jackson is dead!"

Concentrate on things that are important, like those who are pushing this energy bill stand to gain the most from it:

• Nancy Pelosi has $50,000 to $100,000 in Clean Energy Fuels Corp.

• Rep. Edward Markey — hmm, why does that name sound familiar? — has investments between $51,000 and $115,000 in the Firsthand Technology Value Fund (which as three solar-energy manufacturers)

• Al Gore — Mr. "Inconvenient Truth" himself — his venture capital firm is heavily invested in a new software company that's making software to help companies track their carbon footprint. He, and companies like his, will make a fortune.

Not only will this bill make politicians rich, it will increase their power as well. The government will control what you can and cannot do.

Want an SUV? Oh, sorry. Gas mileage isn't good enough.

How about incandescent light bulbs? They use too much energy.

Quarter-pounder with cheese? Meat is even more harmful than the SUV!

This bill is a gateway; it will be used as justification to regulate every industry or product the government can get their grimy little fingers on.

Politicians get rich. Government gets more power and control. Businesses just pass on the cost — so there is only one loser: you, the consumer.

All under the guise of protecting the little guy… right!

They’ll continue to build a case against the evils of corporate America and demonize capitalism, and do their best to convince all Americans that we are all just victims in need of a hero in Washington to save us from the greedy bullies! All along, their true aim is on revoking your freedoms! They're not interested in helping the small guy; their only interest is in making US all small.

Let’s be alert and quick to speak out against these lies! We are not victims! We are Americans! We do not need politicians in Washington to tell us how to live our lives!

Vote! Let your voice be heard in Washington as well as in your local and State politics! AND fire any politician who seeks to erode American liberties and freedoms!
