Congress Passed the Cap & Trade - Sock it to us

Final Vote Results for Roll Call 477

Look at the role call. See if your Congressman put the screws to you. There were a hand full of Republicans who joined the Dems to raise every facet of our energy, heating, cooling, natural gas bills, coal may be in danger and coal state's workers. We're talking about outrageous taxes to force you to stop using energy, become semi third world in living standards. If the Senate doesn't stop this Marxist bill you are screwed. We're screwed. These people presented a 1,200 page bill, then at 3:00 am. just before the vote, they threw in a 300 page amendment so almost no one would know what underhanded moves they were committing.
If the Senate passes this tree hugging bill, a lot of jobs are going to leave this country. Industry can't stand that much taxation.
By the way this bill says that every new home built in every county and village in the U.S. will abide by California building codes. Houses will have to meet code before they can be sold.

We must let our Senators know how we feel about this bill. I for one plan to contact our two Senators from Tennessee, and let them know that I am against this bill.

I heard a lawmaker today say that this bill is dead on arrival in the Senate. At present they have thirty five votes. He says the last thing Americans want is their energy bills tripled. Fewer and fewer citizens are buying this man made global warming garbage

Senator Corker responded to my email, and as you said the bill that was presented to the Senate is dead. He does not support the cap and trade bill that the democrates are proposing. This appeared to be a personal eamil, not a form type response. I appreciate him taking the time to respond.
