Update: Cap-and-Trade Vote Count: 210-210, 14 Undecided
From Brian M Johnson on Friday, June 26, 2009 3:53 PMThat's right. We are hearing 210 - 210 with 14 undecided. Keep calling the swtichboard 202-224-3121 and emailing through here to ensure your message gets heard!
Remember: Over the 2012-2035 timeline, job losses average over 1.1 million. By 2035, a projected 2.5 million jobs are lost below the baseline (without a cap and trade bill). Particularly hit hard are sectors of the economy that are very energy-intensive: Manufacturers, farmers, construction, machinery, electrical equipment and appliances, transportation, textiles, paper products, chemicals, plastics and rubbers, and retail trade would face staggering employment losses as a result of Waxman-Markey.

This is to state that I am completely opposed to the CAP-and-Trade bill. It is a bill that is harmful to America and that has been constructed on absolutely false science. It is a fraudulent bill.

If this passes we should demand a letter of apology to our children and grandchildren from every rep. who voted for it. They need to be held accountable.

I would like the congress to prove to me that they are listening to the people. I "OPPOSE" this Cap & Trade Bill. Cannot get through to Congress woman Mary Bono-Mack. Tell her for me, if she votes for this bill, I vow she will never get my vote again.

>> Jeff Friday, June 26, 2009 5:08 PM
I am "friends" w/ Mary Bono Mack on Facebook. Many, many ppl (including me) are posting on her wall; asking her to vote NO on Cap & Trade. Ppl are really upset that she is still undecided. Kathleeen Moroney-- I just wanted to let you know that I relayed your message to her. The Republicans that vote YES on Cap & Trade are going to be very sorry that they did when they are up for re-election. That is my prediction.

Wake up! We need to focus on the big picture and make the tough decisions necessary to preserve the way of life we all currently enjoy. Learn the science, or just simply listen to the scientists who know! The issue is clear, come to your senses.

Nothing in this bill does anything for the environment. It is nothing but a disguised tax bill and a slush fund for liberal interest groups and corporate welfare to boot. All this does is increase energy costs, creates massive new government bureaucracy, creates new ways to defraud the taxpayers, and distorts the market, and will cost millions of jobs. There is absolutely no plusses to this bill except for companies who will get subsidies for enterprises that cannot make a profit in the free market. No scientist say this would shave a degree off of any imagined global warming.

I work for a company that does materials analysis and we are currently struggling in Western Pennsylvania. This industry is already having significant problems in this changing economy. I believe putting any further strangle holds on the steel, iron, or coal industries in which we rely on will not only have a negative impact on my state, but the country as a whole. Oppose this bill.

>> Gayle Friday, June 26, 2009 7:17 PM
The only reason this is so close is 85% of this bill is already going to entitlement programs, that is documented. So 15% will actually go towards our debt and actual "change" in government. What ever happened to drilling for natural gas, which would get us out of spending over 700 BILLION in Saudi oil? What about hydrogen run vehicles? Obama and his cronies say they don't work...after government spending and years of proof that it does work. Here's your "CHANGE!"

If Mr. Solomon P. Ortiz doesn't vote against this Bill I anm sure going to do my best to campaign him out of office next election! It will become an obsessive goal for me! This Cap and Trade bill is a bigger Ponzy scheme than anything Bernie Madoff got sent to prison for! That is what should ultimately happen to Waxman, Markey, Pelosi, Bernacke, Geitner, President Barry - Barack Obama of Kenya and Indonesia! Is Barack a counterfeit president?

We still have a chance to beat it as it has to pass through the Senate! I don't know what the Senate number of the Bill is but we'll have to find out and make sure it doesn't get passed! If it does let me tell you we are doomed! Eg.Environmental Police can come into your home and check it for Energy Efficiency,if it doesn't pass it will have to be brought up to par by a certain date! If not E.police will take over ownership of your home, kick you out on the street or you can go to a Fema camp! That is just part of the hardship that is in that 1300 page Bill! Politicians didn't have time to read it before voting for it! Please folks for our own good help get rid of it!
>> Paul Saturday, June 27, 2009 10:31 AM
It will be my life mission to find every YEA vote and have you voted out of office. Freaking slime bucket weasels are always in my pockets and I am not going to take it any more. I intend to find the Yea votes and publish them on every web site you can imagine. I can't wait for the next election to see the exodus begin. No more "business as usual" Obama? Correction business as usual with Dems in charge. Take every dime they got and tell them it's going to save the planet! HA! Make sure the senate does not get sucked in people. Call now!
>> Robert Merchant Saturday, June 27, 2009 6:17 PM
Hey folks! Has it occurred to you that 212 No votes is more than enough to begin Impeachment proceedings against Obama and his gang of Fascist thugs? If Cap-n-trade is not the trumpet call to throw this usurper out now, by 2010, representative government will no longer exist in America. Contact everyone who voted Ney, and demand they begin legal proceedings.
>> C. Becknell Sunday, June 28, 2009 8:38 AM
If that is actually a legal truth as to what C. Becknell ( Above article ) says then we need to get in touch with credible legal attorneys and push this issue to have Obama and his gang of Fascist thugs inaugerated down the road to impeachment! The sooner the better as to save America from a s much deterioration as they are causing and possibly prevent a confrontational battle which this will come to should we not be able to regain our country by Civil means, so in effect saving perfectly good American lives! Never the less either way we will not quit till we have our America back!
>> Paul Sunday, June 28, 2009 11:11 AM
Paul...FYI: Impeachment is a legal proceeding initiated by Congress. It is not a criminal offense adjudicated by private attorneys. Remember when Clinton was impeached? Anyway, Cap-in Trade is an Unconsitutional Bill, and is tantamount to treason! If that isn't enough reason to have Obama impeached, then 'reason' has no place in American Law. You are right, my young friend, the longer this joker reigns, the worse it'll be for all of us. Only nieve fools will wait till 2012. Contact your Reps now! Demand that Obama be impeached immediately for Lawlessness and Treason. And, have no doubts about God being on your side. God hates lawlessness!
>> C Becknell Sunday, June 28, 2009 11:26 PM
I am sorry C Becknell, You are right, I just get so enthralled with trying withevery inch of my body and soul to get this piece of counterfeit criminal trash removed from our highest office that I sometimes forget the proper lawful procedures! Thanks for waking me up! Do you know there have been st least two American Military people, one from the US Army Division I believe and one retired Naval Officer who have filed charges of Treason on President Barak Obama for fraud and using a false identity! I don't know if they are grasping at straws or what but I do like to see that others realize he is a crook and imposter and shold enough of these legal tags connect to Back-Track Barack the world may see him for what he really is!

The Total Takeover Of America Enters Its Final Phase The wholesale looting of America and the transfer of wealth and power over to a private banking elite who are setting up a world government, along with the complete obliteration of any remaining freedom to protest, resist, or even speak out again,is now entering its final phase as numerous different pieces of the jigsaw puzzle fall into place and portray a clear picture of tyranny. We are about to sound the death knell for the United States if every one of the following attacks on our liberty and right to not be ruled over by an unelected banking dictatorship is not fiercely opposed and crushed.

Geoff...did you ask Slomon (State?) why he voted Ney on Crap-n-Tax? Most Dems who voted Ney did so to cover their slimmy butts. They were just gaming the system to avoid a voter backlash. Also, did anyone notice that Obama and Clinton have joined Castro and Chevez in opposing the coup that just overthrew the dictator in Hondurus. Imagine that! These two siding with brutal dictators! What does that tell you? Hint: Obama and Hillary prefer Communist governments over Democratic ones...like ours! In my mind, that makes these two brazen Communists. More reason to impeach Obama before he bankrupts the middle class, and enslaves us all.
