The people of this country need STRENGTH in the members of government. All members need the knowledge of truth and honesty and common sense, to protect the citizens from this intentional demise of this nation! I'd like to commend those members of government that stand on strength, truth, honesty and common sense and challenge the majority to take on.

Howard Sat, 27 Jun 2009 21:35:58 +0000 http://www.foundry.org/?p=9635#comment-39293 The CEO of GE supports Cap and Trade, I suspect, because his company is more foreign than domestic. Regardless of what proponents of the plan say, huge job losses will come from this legislation as friendlier parts of the world laugh at our stupidity. What really bothers me is there are many areas of the energy problem that could be changed to make our nation more competitive, not less. Nuclear is clean, but, to my knowledge, we have yet to start the first generation plant in many years due to idiotic environmentalists that not even France would tolerate. Natural gas is currently selling at the equivalent of $.65/gal while dirty diesel is selling for $1.70/gal. Federal, state and local governments are suffering from huge cash shortfalls. These agencies operate fleets of service equipment, garbage trucks, police cars, etc that could be converted to burn clean natural gas while reducing their fuel bills by 2/3rds. Just how stupid can we be? NEVER VOTE FOR AN ENCUMBENT! The CEO of GE supports Cap and Trade, I suspect, because his company is more foreign than domestic.

Where are those that will be adversely affected? Do I stand alone on this issue or do I have others that are aware of the overall dangers of (CAP AND TRADE) that is disguised as an energy bill! I ask all people to research this "under the rug"1200 page, ill-conceived bill that is possibly headed for a passage in the Senate. If this is the change that Obama promised, then We are in dire need for a change of presidential leadership! Where is the voice of America? Where are those that will be adversely affected?

Above all, how can it be pushed through Congress or any elected body without approval from the general public that are most affected?Who are the ones pushing for the "CAP AND TRADE" when all have so much to lose and so few have so much to gain? Where are the real Americans that stand for the right ---where are the leaders that We gave the privilege of serving the people with a vision of a better America and the change for the better?Is it too late to impeach those in office and find someone to adhere to our values and will seek the best for the citizens of the United States of America?I see a possibility in one man(Schuler)But We need more like Him and We as a nation need to turn the table on these corrupt individuals and pirates of the nations treasure. Im not an activist but I am considering the cost of not being--I want the best ,not only for Me and my neighbors, but for my Children.If We let this cap and trade thing go through, we have lost a large chunk of America and our cost of living will be unsurmountable-------We will die !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They just finished Rep John Boehner's closing statements of the 309pg. Amendment that was filed in the middle of the night. Boehner just went completely off! If this thing passes - WE ARE THROUGH! I live in CA. & we're hurting with the energy bill we already have here. This will just add to our misery & cut off any life we have left. I hate these ppl. I cant wait to get Pelosi & Waxman Out of there. Pelosi still hasn't apologized for saying CIA lied to Congress. Well it just passed the House 219-212! I Hate This.

Commenting is a privilege, not a right. Please keep it clean and stay on topic. Personal attacks and obscene language will not be tolerated. Essentially, don’t say anything you wouldn’t say to your mother at the dinner table. The above admonition to be politically correct makes it near impossible to adequately express my disgust with Obamas puppets in Congress. I have been watching The House Of Reps. on CSPAN today concerning Cap and Tax and as mentioned above the Dems. are disgusting, willfully blind, self promoting xx@@#$%@. They have all opened their pockets and crammed them with cash and other considerations from lobbiests. They do not represent the people. They are for sale to highest bidder. I for one look forward to the opportunity to kick the bums out next election. That is of course if Obama doesn't , by executive order, temporarily suspend elections due our devastated economy.

When the demand increased for my product, this bill would make it impossible for upstarts and entrepreneurs to steal that increased business from me. My two or three competitors and I would have no other competition. We've already got the political connections and lobbying cash; so sorry, if you want to buy a widget, you'll have to buy from me. This is precisely why big business loves big government, and vice versa. If I were in the energy biz or in an energy-intensive industry, I would have pushed for this bill.
