this cap and trade bill is taxing you because you use energy and are putting a carbon footprint on the planet. your energy costs will significantly go up and yes, obama is going to control one more thing. you think your budget is tight now? it's going to be drastically worse after this (we will be investing in candles if this passes)! it is not too late to write your senator.
As many of you are aware of, our government is in the process of voting on a “Cap & Trade Bill”. The House has passed the bill and it now goes on to the Senate. If you have anything to say to your Senators concerning the bill , here is an opportunity to do so.
Climate Change Legislation (H.R.2454)
Roger D Baars Sr, lawmakers in the House expect to vote Friday on landmark climate change legislation. If approved, the bill would move to the Senate for consideration. The measure aims to cap greenhouse-gas emissions at 17 percent of 2005 levels by 2020 and by about 80 percent by 2050, creating a market for companies to buy and sell the right to emit carbon dioxide and other gases (a “cap-and-trade” system). The measure would also create a new renewable electricity standard and establish new national building codes. (H.R.2454)
Supporters say the bill would create jobs, reduce America’s dependence on foreign oil and reduce greenhouse gases – which some argue is the leading compound linked to global warming. Opponents are calling the bill an energy tax that could slow the economy. Many lawmakers representing farm states are also concerned that the measure would put a disproportionate burden on farmers.

while you are at it, please mention that you think socialized health care is a joke (because it is) and you would prefer not to wait in line for 5 months when you need an operation. 64% of people are currently ok with their health care options. media is trying to make it look worse than it is so that this passes.
