Cap & Trade: Get on the phones!!
If this is passed, the United States will fundamentally change as we know it. I am dead serious. This is an unprecedented power grab.
Read through the links; I haven't had any time to complete my post about this, but it is SERIOUSLY. BAD. NEWS. For the economy. For your taxes. And for our freedoms in this country. You think you lost freedoms under Bush? Wait until this gets passed!
There are representatives on the fence still! The NATION is on the phone to Washington - CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES!! Mine is one of the ones leading the charge against it.
Forget parties! Forget the environment. This is NOT for the environment. The projections are that it could lower the temperature by .05 DEGREES in 2050!!! This is NOT about the environment! It's about the government taking unprecidented control over business and ENERGY, about under-the-table deals between the government and giant corporations, about bribes that have been caught on tape for representatives to support this legislation! It is a GIANT HIDDEN TAX!! That will COST us more jobs than it will create!! Just look at Spain!!
I am at work. I can't get on the phone anymore. This is ridiculously important. Call them NOW. The pressure needs to increase and stay at volume! They were talking about shutting down the communications at one point! The Republican minority leader was doing the House version of the filibuster over this!

Watch it unfold on C-Span
ETA: It passed. Now it's on to the Senate. All hail the government; we bow and grovel at their wiser-than-thou wisdom and money-lined pockets.
Goodbye American Business. The House just passed the bill that will really make the people complain about outsourcing jobs.
In the middle of a recession. Tch. GE is literally jumping for joy now...

Ironicly Kyoto was one of the things I pruned because I didn't want to go find my old sources again. Almost every country under Kyoto stays almost the same, or has room to grow under it. The US would be the largest exception which would be the only country called upon to make a major sacrifice. The net result would be that the US would buy carbon credits from other countries. Who would have them to spare? Africa.
It's a payoff to the largest voting block on the UN. It's a tax and redistrubute by another name.
No I don't think it's a "grand" consperiecy among every country, I think it's the same people who won't read a 300 page ammendment and still vote yes on it. They just accept the word of a couple of people as absolute truth.
