Someone needs to make sure they are listening. If you don't want utility bills to double and gas to double you need to say NO to Cap and Trade.

I emailed mine to stop it. It will cost 2 million jobs per the heritage foundation, and will raise costs not just on utilities but on everything you buy, since every business uses energy.
Here is contact info to email your rep http://www.campaignforliberty.com/campaigns/hr2454action.php
The circuits are busy, keep them that way... but meanwhile use email.
The vote is scheduled for tomorrow.

Yes I did.I contacted Mr.Todd Tiahrt.I also contacted him earlier about HR 45,which has for now bit the dust.Mr Tiahrt is is also co-sponsoring a bill that would allow reciprocity for concealed carry permits.Every time I e-mail him I get a very detailed response from him.He is one of the few good common sense people we have in DC.I assure you he will be fighting for the common man/woman on this.Watch for him and JC Watts around 2012.

No but I emailed him 3 times over the last month. My congressman is one of the most socialist guys in congress (Ellison, D MN) so I don't think I'll change his mind.

I emailed him. I need to call the congressional switch board though. The bottom line is, if they want this to go through it's going to to go through. Remember the first corporate bailout Bush passed that McCain and Obama both voted for ? They passed that even though the country was screaming not to , the calls to the Capital against that bail out outnumbered those for it 100 to 1 and yet they still passed it. God bless.

I tried several times. Said "all circuits were busy". So..
Either we are flooding the lines, or the white house shut us down. I am still going to try.

It will force the big polluters to switch to green renewable energy. It will creat a lot of new jobs.

No.
Why would I be against such a good proposal?
If global climate change is not dealt with soon, you will have only one overriding concern: starvation.
