Take Action! Cap and Trade Vote passes the House

Cap-and-trade is a tax on coal, oil, and natural gas but instead of being a specific tax rate, the total level of use is capped, then companies and farms are forced to pay the government for the right to stay in business by buying emissions permits.  They bid against each other and nobody knows how much the tax will be until they hold the auctions. 

 

It's a crazy, unpredictable tax.

 

President Obama himself explained last year in a San Francisco Chronicle interview: "Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket."-APF

 PLease contact your Senators-  this bill must be stopped- it will be the voice of the American people that accomplishes this!

Fortunately, we have always believed the place to kill this bill is the U.S. Senate. We will do everything we can to educate the public about the danger that this legislation poses for their family budgets and their economic freedom to help the voices of millions of grassroots activists be heard on this issue.

If the American people understand what this bill does, it will die in the Senate.- Tim Phillips                                                                Final Waxman- Markey vote( Cap and Trade Bill)in the House last night-check out how your  Rep.  voted on this bill and remember the next time you vote . This will effect everyone , not only in taxes but more lost jobs- even Greenpeace does not endorse this- Spain and other European countries are changing this policy because it does not work - The real offenders will just pick up and move to China or India - leaving a financial burden on the American people-by lost jobs and taxes.
