Follow the money, it’s all about greed!!!

This Cap & Tax Bill was not even read by Representatives before voting otherwise it never would have passed. The Dems buying votes by offering money for special projects was the only reason it passed the House. Such as Rep. Marcy Kaptur Ohio given a Slush Fund for $3.5Billion, Alan Grayson a Hurricane Research Center for Orlando, FL for $50 million. How can you vote on a Bill that no one has had time to read? The same thing will happen with the Healthcare Bill..this promised by Nancy Pelosi.

Congress needs to promote industries that put people to work. Higher energy costs (as a result of this bill) will ultimately cut jobs and make the US less competitive in the global market.

Our 9-12 group has repeatedly contacted all our represenatives and have told them in no uncertain terms that supporting this bill will cost them their seat.
Also, letter writing campaigns and email/faxes and very frank phone calls. How do you explain to people that THOUGHT they we’re going to get a tax-cut (95% lie)have tripled utility bills instead to support a hoax? All this does is turn the utility company into an arm of the IRS.

there’s got to be an agreeable solution we all need without being such ridiculously and extreme limits, Or penalties.

Commom Sense, you sure don’t seem to have any and your name-calling is the hallmark of liberal bias. Get a clue; people are onto ObamaNation and are no longer buying into it’s false ideals. Create a crisis, then rush to install the solution only you can provide. Lousy, sloppy, strategy! And cpnpa, we are nowhere near China’s levels of polution and we’ve had much more industry for many more years as a developed nation. Suck a tale pipe: no one said exhaust was good; but we need proven alternatives first, the good ole’ American free enterprise way; then after the private sector spends the money & develops new products we’ll all rush out to get them, NOT BEFORE you prove you can do it better (think mouse trap)

I’m just not ready for my power and gas bill go up for reasons even the EPA say are inconclusive. My wallet just can’t tolerate it.

There is nothing wrong with recycling but don’t force us to pay for something that occures in nature that we have NO control over…

Again, I haven’t seen enough evidence that this is a ‘pragmatic reality’. I think most climate change deniers (myself included) think of ourselves more as Galileo, realizing that the universe does not, in fact, revolve around us, or that our activities actually can change the earth’s core temperature, and the global warming alarmists still think the world is flat despite mounting evidence to the contrary.

Does the earth’s core temperature change? It appears that it does, but not necessarily because of man’s activity. Should we be spewing harmful gases into the air without a care in the world? Well, no, probably not. Who wants to live in smoggy cities? Of course we should take care of the environment, of course we should conserve our natural resources, but something as drastic as this bill is hardly the solution.

Look, I completely agree, but take it from me, writing your reps doesn’t work. They don’t care what we think. For two months, I wrote my representatives, literally, every single day! All you get is a mass handout entailing every single issue that they voted for, most of which, their constituents(You) told them not to. They do what their party wants. They don’t represent us. And, there is no party for the people any more! Repubs, Dems, and Libs are all different heads on the same damn beast! We need to start protesting, and, when necessary, conduct (Lawful)Civil Insurrection. Anything else will be ignored.

If you allow it the ability to provide, it is implicit that it will also have the ability to deny.

A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have.

Well this is another fine mess our government is putting us in. With an ecomomy already in a mess, auto companies bankrupt, etc, etc, this is just putting icing on the cake to destroy the hard working middle class. This bill only benefits G.E. and the government officials in bed with them. What a scam. Get ready to pay people…. cause everything will be costing more….. very soon. Welcome to AMERIKA another 3rd world country.

When will our elected officials listen to us? The majority of citizens are and have been against this bill. Look at the votes and comments by people logged in to this site. All I can say is congress, senate, you people are being watched. The 2010 election isn’t that far off and many of you congressmen and senators may be going to the unemployment office for your pay check. “We Must Take America Back”….

Perfect. Regarding the ignorance of people, this administration is doing all it can to keep people in the dark regarding the actual science on “global warming”. Yesterday on Larry Kudlow’s radio show he talked about an EPA report, that was being squased by the EPA, prepared by an EPA scientist, Alan Carlin, that discusses the flaws in the UN IPCCC report and in the EPA’s assessment of it, Check out http://cei.org/cei_files/fm/active/0/DOC062509-004.pdf

Can’t say I’ve read the whole thing yet, but it looks very interesting and damning, and goes to show that “saving the enviornment” is not what this administration or this bill is about.

This bill and the House’s actions in passing it are a clear indication that our representatives have lost touch with us and reality. It is time to vote them all out. If you agree, visit http://www.1anddone.org.

Our site is dedicated to examining the “man behind the curtain” and educating people on the abuses of our representatives. Join the cause, and for sake of liberty, vote them out in 2010.

cap and trade is just a way of saying “pay to pollute.” These “jobs” are not permanent and the people who desperately need jobs the most are not qualified to do them.

Scientists have proved in the past that the climate change is a normal. We are at the end of the last ice age, that is why the caps are melting, if you at dirt samples you will see that millions of years ago the earth went through this exact climate change. I think its pretty vain of us to believe man has the ability to change the earths climate. Besides if its global warming why have we seen mild temperatures in Michigan this year?

And continuing to burn dead dinosaurs is refreshing and a new way forward?

Trouble is, even if turned out in 2010, our Scum-Dogs in Congress still DRAW THEIR PAY AND HEALTH BENEFITS FOR LIFE!!! How do We The People change THAT??

Increased costs to business and homeowners, loss of more jobs in our country is this what we can expect from Obama/Pelosi?

What about this stat from the US National Climactic Data Center — Annual number of strong-to-violent category F3 to F5 tornados during the March-to-August tornado season in the U.S. between 1950 and 2006. U.S. National Climatic Data Center, U.S. Department of Commerce 2006 Climate Review (20). During this period, world hydrocarbon use increased 6-fold, while violent tornado frequency decreased by 43%.

Annual number of violent hurricanes and maximum attained wind speed during those hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean between 1944 and 2006 (22,23). There is no upward trend in either of these records. During this period, world hydrocarbon use increased 6-fold.

Americans had better wake up SOON! Fight now for Drill Here Drill Now! “Fight for the farmers to have water for crops or we will have no food”. "Fight for our FREEDOM, or it will be gone! Do you really want a Government to control the Energy you use, the Food you eat, the water you drink, the Healthcare you can have, how much money you can earn, the banks were you put your money, the company you work for, the kind of vehicle you drive or don’t drive, where you can live, where you can go?? If this is how you want it, then go live in a Communist Country, they have it ALL!

Ayes:183
Nays:1605

This indicates that congress is “doing to” rather than “doing for”. False science, false jobs. Not very promising.

I agree, I can’t believe that this passed when so much is at stake. Make sure you get on the phone and let them know you know how they voted. Let them know if any more money come out of your pocket that you will blame them and make sure others know that they are the ones responsible for the downfall of the American way of life and the dissolution of the American Dream! House phone numbers 202-225-3121 or 202-224-3121. Did any of them read the bill, if they did they are supernatural because there are very few minds who could absorb and understand that much information and fact check it in the limited time given to them. Shame on the Congress for this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Carbon emissions are naturally present. This doesn’t preclude us from seeking alternate fuel sources; it’s always a good economic idea to have multiple products available. However, there doesn’t seem to be just cause yet to go on a witch hunt against oil companies and the corporations. Let’s focus on using taxpayer money to fund research into a viable, economically feasible alternative rather than harming our already struggling economy. Nuclear power perhaps?

We the veterans who have served our country with blood reject the Oil and Coal Lobbyists twisted vision for America’s future. We will create a better future with clear air and water, with polluters paying for their environmental and health damages, and for Industries creating Millions of sustainable Jobs for American Workers and returning Veterans who put their Lives on the line every day for our country, all while making us Globally competitive in Renewable Energy and efficiency technologies.

What is the motivation behind passing the bill? Does all this lobbying reflect Al Gore’s deepest love for our ecosystems and wildlife….or is it his love for deep pockets?

Did you know that gravity is a theory?

Read the Bill, this will be devistating to what is left of our economy. We will not be able to afford the “LUXURIES” of Life such as going to work, eating, getting cool on a very HOT day and of course warm on the very cold winter days, whioch will lend our homes useless-but don’t worry because in the long run we will lose those too-if you still have one! Ethopia here we come!!

This will do nothing to prevent carbon emissions and only cripple American businesses, (you know the guys who create the real jobs.) This is also rife with political paybacks to GE who stands to make billions if this passes.
