Lost in a Bureaucratic Maze

This chart, provided by Rep. John Boehner, gives a clear vision of the bureaucratic mess that so-called cap and trade legislation will create.

What's your Cap-and-Trade Burden?

By reducing carbon emissions, cap-and-trade systems raise prices throughout the economy. These costs are ultimately paid by American consumers. The following calculator estimates the annual cost your household would face under a typical U.S. cap-and-trade system.

Firefighters - 1 Sotomayor - 0

Question: Is this the end to Judge Sotomayor's Supreme Court dream?

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court ruled Monday that a group of firefighters in Connecticut were unfairly denied promotions because of their race, reversing a decision endorsed by high court nominee Sonia Sotomayor.

Hugo Chavez claims he isn't a U.S. 'concern'

CARACAS, Venezuela — President Hugo Chavez says a U.S. general shouldn't be raising concerns that Venezuela is buying arms, and the American commander is wrong to argue there isn't a "conventional military threat in the region."

Hmm, we SHOULDN'T be raising concerns when Chavez is on a Rodeo Drive-style arms shopping spree?

Gracias Alberto!

Shameful 'Republicans' aka Democratic Operatives!

*And do not forget Flake from AZ who went to his daughter's junior pageant... and also another Republican, Sullivan from OK. Shame on them!

Call them out!!! Make them pay for their horrible decision!

Shameful 'Republicans' - Republicans they are NOT!

Thanks for the names Alberto Acereda via Facebook!

Shameful Republicans voting in favor of the "cap and tax" (Liberal) global warming bill:

Mary Bono Mack (CA)
Mike Castle (DE)
M.S. Kirk (IL)
Leonard Lance (NJ)
Frank LoBiondo (NJ)
John M. McHugh (NY)
Dave Reichert (WA)
Chris Smith (NJ)

Add these two Republicans who did not vote: aka they knew staying home would help the Dems!
Jeff Flake (AZ)
John Sullivan (OK)

*With these votes, the bill would have been stopped. When you vote in 2010, think about this!!!

UNACCEPTABLE!!! Call their offices! Shame on them! Support TRUE Conservatives who will stand up! We need a VOICE!

Get Informed! Stay Involved!

Well said Marilyn! *applause*

To Congressman Doggett (D from Austin),

May I say respectfully, Congressman Doggett, that "wanting a seat at the table" is the most cowardly, hypocritical excuse for voting for this outrage today.

I don't live in your district, but I will certainly work for your defeat next year. You have betrayed Texas and every citizen in the whole country. Next time, just stand up like a man and say that you are more afraid of your party leadership than you are of your constituents.

Sincerely,

Marilyn Davis

I've already received an automated reply saying that since I live outside his district, "regrettably Cong. Doggett can't reply." What could he say to justify himself, anyway?

RNC - article of the week

RNC Coalitions: Just wanted to pass along a remarkable op-ed from a key House Democrat, Rep. Jim Cooper (D-TN), who, in his own words, is “speaking out today because I’ve been through a failed health care reform process before.” According to Rep. Cooper, House Democrats are being “explicitly told not to work with Republicans” and “health care reform is on life support.” Let’s be clear: a leading House Democrat is stepping forward to say that his leadership is telling him “not to work with Republicans.” So the next time you hear President Obama or Speaker Pelosi complain about the lack of bipartisanship, remember what they are telling their own members.

Obama loves Taxes!

Don’t Let The Democrats' Tax Your Lights Out!

Nancy Pelosi and liberal Democrats in the House of Representatives are preparing to pass so-called “cap and trade” legislation THIS WEEK. This bill is nothing but a huge national energy tax on families and small businesses.

Don’t let the Democrats tax your lights out! Pick up the phone now! Call your Congressman at 202-224-3121. Tell your Congressman to vote NO on the Democrats’ cap and trade energy tax.
