It’s 6:30 P.M. in D.C., I think the phones may be off soon. But write emails all night long. To those on the list and your personal Rep even if he or she isnt. Turn up the heat with everyone.

And call talk your local drive home radio personality. And then call the morning personality first thing tommorow. Then make some more calls.

Please remember, that e-mails to government officials are a matter of public record…… Be prepared for ‘anything’ if you e-mail ‘anything’.

I am, but then again, I don’t have anything to lose anymore, except my freedom and my nation.

Cheers !

Bjorn Lomborgs, book, Cool It: The Skeptical Environmentalist’s Guide to Global Warming. The premise of the book is that while global warming/climate change is real science, the degree to which it is occurring and our ability to do much about it have been grossly overblown.

He really lays out the huge burden and opportunity cost that cap and trade will put on our economy and the minimal benefits it will yield.

Worth a read for anyone …. especially for Congress.

we all know what that means… Time to pick a new name to bamboozle it through in some usual Liberal Incremental-ism fashion…. What Bill will they be hiding pieces of it in next is the real question? That, and the “Local-ism” (Fairness Doctrine), Card Check, etc, as well.

Dan Hannan: Leading Europe’s Dramatic Shift to the Right

Advice for American conservatives? Only this. The Republican Party’s success depended on its becoming a popular party — that is, a party that was for the people against the governing elites. Half a century ago, it was a party of big business and old money, and it kept losing: it was in permanent opposition in both houses, and tended to win the presidency only when it fielded a non-partisan Ike-type candidate. Then it changed: it embraced localism, small government and states’ rights. It went from being a New England, preppy, country club party to being a Sun Belt, anti-Washington mass movement. And you know what? It started winning.

My worry is that, in recent years, the party has gone into reverse. It has become, as in pre-Goldwater days, the party of federal spending, budget deficits, external protectionism (the steel tariffs), overseas garrisons, the denial of states’ rights (the gay marriage amendment) and, latterly, bailouts and nationalizations.

I speak as someone who has a more uncomplicated loyalty to the GOP than to my own party, and I desperately want it to start winning again. But that means getting back to basics: to the basic idea that informed the U.S. Constitution, namely that decisions should be taken as closely as possible to the people they affect.

The Environmental Protection Agency apparently thinks that manufacturing jobs are too dirty to consider when assessing the cost of the Waxman-Markey energy-rationing legislation that should come to a House vote tomorrow.
(snip)
Those steel jobs that have arrived in Kentucky and Alabama already — and those others that were slated to come to Louisiana — to escape the EU’s version of cap-and-trade? Forget about them if Waxman-Markey passes. You can probably forget about a lot more jobs, too, that might otherwise have headed for the coal-friendly and job-hungry Midwestern states.
(snip)
EPA didn’t bother considering that when telling us how much this program — which they really really want, by the way — would cost the U.S. economy.

Accept behavior like this from your civil servants — let your elected officials get away with passing laws like this — and deserve what you get. Or, in the case of manufacturing jobs, don’t get.

I wouldn’t put it past Pelosi, Reid and Congress for a nanosecond to call an “emergency” roll call and vote on whatever they want to ram through.

PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR “GOVERNMENT”.

Don’t let up for one second…..

Keep calling, e-mailing and faxing your Congress Critters and tell them……
NO on Cap & Trade, NO on ObamaCare and NO on any amnesty for illegal aliens.

Mark my words, the bulk of the American public is completely distracted by the death of a talented unconvicted pedophile.

“… the bulk of the American public is completely distracted by the death of a talented unconvicted pedophile.”

It reminds me of the movie Idiocracy. These people are not drinking the kool-aid anymore, they’re chugging BRAWNDO! (its got electrolytes)

And, as y’all know, every rep and sen vote on this legislation affects every citizen. I’m never timid about calling congressmen who do not represent my state/district. I have no representation in the senate and my house district is safe. I believe in bipartisan beatching.

Activists Taking Action: Unified Patriots

They are going to pass this while the country is focused on Michael Jackson… sad loss, rest in peace…. but we have work to do.

And remind people to call both the DC office AND the district office!

We can beat this thing…

This Bill will be an economic disaster for America:
1. higher energy costs for Americans
2. personal income loss which will reduce consumer spending
3. negatively impact non-farm jobs with even higher unemployment
4. negative impact on local economies within the first year

The hyped illusion that this Bill will create new jobs in the “green industry” does not outweigh the decrease in jobs elsewhere. In fact, this Bill will negatively impact the current industry-related employment for millions of Americans. CAN AMERICA AFFORD MORE UNEMPLOYED?

My Congressional Rep Frank Wolf, R-10th District, is getting HAMMERED on the phones. Today when the Intern still gave me another dose of her daily-stoopid, I reminded her that she represented a Congressman and needed to be versed in this legislation in order to answer the phones to me, a citizen and taxpayer and constituent to Wolf. She frickin’ hung up on me!

No matter….when you feed fuel to the fire, you burn….I called back.
She wouldn’t answer. I had a more enlightened chat with a well-versed staffer and he believes Wolf is leaning towards NO.

CALL YOUR REP!!! Keep the pressure on. Use the financial facts in lieu of any science because most of these guys can’t think scientifically.

he hasn’t given them his position yet. I politely asked if the young lady had any idea which way he might be leaning and she declined to answer that. Then I gave her my reasons why he should vote “No.”

And concluded our little chat by reminding her that he’s up next year and she might not have a job anymore if he keeps voting for stuff that ruins our lives. I shall call back again in another hour.
