Posts about Stop Cap and Trade as of July 16, 2009

Ed Devine TX Dist 5 Coordinator has sent you a message on Patriotic ResistanceOn Friday, July 17, we urge you to visit the nearest local office of your U.S. Senators and tell them to oppose Cap and Trade. Americans across the nation will be doing the same thing on Friday, to make sure the message is heard loud and clear. You can find your nearest Senate district office by visiting www.senate.gov and looking up your Senator(s) by the name, state, or your zip code.

It’s Up to You and There’s No Time to Wait! Dear Fellow Patriot, You have been making a difference all across this country since February.  You have made your voices heard.  Many in the mainstream media have scoffed at us. Some on our side have asked if we are able to keep the momentum going.  Others want to know if our movement is growing or not.  The politicians whose policies we are working to defeat have tried to ignore us.  We are here to tell you, we are making a difference! 

Republicans have fought cap and trade wrong, and they’re going to lose because of it.  If the bill passes, they’ve lost a policy fight; if the bill fails, Republicans will not get credit for lower prices, but they will be blamed (fairly or not) for obstructing progress on environmental problems. Let’s stipulate a few political realities: (a) the public generally agrees that something must be done about climate change, (b) cap-and-trade is expensive, complicated, inefficient, unpopular, subject

How Cap-and-Trade Super-sizes the Federal Government | GlobalWarming.org A picture, however, is worth a thousand words (perhaps even 1,500 pages) which is why the healthcare chart is such a powerful symbol-it visualizes the impact of a major policy that absolutely no one understands, with the obvious exception of Members of Congress and the lobbyists who wrote it. The office of the Minority Leader of the House of Representatives compiled a similar type of chart to inform the debate over the climate change bill late last month.

A Commentary by Debra J. SaundersNo wonder skeptics consider the left’s belief in man-made global warming as akin to a fad religion — last week in Italy, G8 leaders pledged to not allow the Earth’s temperature to rise more than 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit.For its next act, the G8 can part the Red Sea. The worst part is: These are the brainy swells who think of themselves as — all bow — Men of Science.The funny part is: G8 leaders can’t even decide the year from which emissions must be reduced.
