I know all of you do not need to be convinced this is a very bad thing and that we need to contact all of our local and federal representatives and voice our opinions and then follow-up to see how each one voted on this bill so that anyone who voted "yes" needs our attention to be kicked out next election. My husband is a veteran and he said something that really hit home the other day that I will share with all of you... "Break the spirit of the country, and you can control it." We can't let this happen. We must do what we can to fight socialism and that is the direction this government is taking us if we allow it.

It has become clear to me that it is nothing more than an elaborate scam on the part of the UN and our Democratic Congressmen to take trillions of dollars away from US citizens by taxing all forms of energy on the basis of CO2 emissions. CO2 is to plant life what oxygen is to humans. CO2 is not causing global warming. It is time for the American people to get informed and start emailing there Senators and Congressman, this week, and tell them not to vote YES on any energy taxes. We do not need such a tax and we cannot afford to have our economy further hindered by yet another government controlled scheme. EMAIL YOU CONGRESSMEN AND SENATORS AND TELL THEM TO VOTE “NO” ON HR-2454, the American Energy and Security Act of 2009, when it comes up for a vote. DO IT NOW or FOREVER REGRET IT I have been following the global warming issues for quite some time.

I am careful to not litter. I do not want industries dumping harmful waist. I want clean rivers and streams; the fish to swim and the birds to fly. But it is free market capitalism that affords us the ability to enforce enviromental laws. It takes money. The Haitians don't boil the water in the US. There is a balance. No regulation is bad. Too much is bad because it inhibits the market. No thinking person will disagree. The Harrys, Nancies, Gores, and Obamas are no more environmentalist than David Koresh was a Christian. They, the Gores, have hijacked environmentalism to accomplish their goal of grabbing power. Environmentalism is a great vehicle to hijack. Who wouldn’t be an environmentalist?
