House Passes Cap and Trade.

[Racehorse]

I'm just pleased that my democrat representative voted no. I had already decided if he voted yes, he would not get my vote in the next election. He earned my vote in the last election by voting against TARP and all the stimulus crap.

So far, he's more conservative than the republican representatives from my state.

Hopefully this will die in the senate.

I was thinking more along the lines of the Nuremburg trials and the subsequent hangings.

No reason they can't be tarred before hanging.

Don't forget to email, call or fax your senator's office and voice your opposition to cap and trade.

I don't have the senate bill number in front of me, if someone knows it plese post it.



Edit:
There will be no further talk of hanging anyone in this thread.

It's H.R. 2454, the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009.

I emailed both my senators, Kohl and Feingold. It's worth 20 minutes of your day to compose a concise, literate email voicing your opposition to the bill and bear part of your responsibility as citizen to influence the political process.

I called Kohl and Feingold's Washington offices. The staffers didn't take my name and address, which is usually a sign that either the staffer or the legislator has his mind made up and the public can pound sand.

I can already tell you how Kohl and Feingold are going to vote on this one:
The Dairy Queen will vote for it.
Feingold will vote against it only if there are plenty enough votes to pass it.
