The Bloggers Briefing is a weekly policy discussion hosted by The Heritage Foundation. You can watch the live feed (above) via Ustream.tv beginning at noon today. We have three guests speaking at today’s briefing:
- Cal Dooley, president of the American Chemistry Council, will discuss how the NAT GAS Act would impact U.S. businesses. Heritage Action has documented growing opposition to the bill, which expends billions of dollars for failed energy subsidies. Fourteen lawmakers have already withdrawn their support for the legislation.
- Alex Cortes, executive director of Let Freedom Ring, will share new polling on the debt limit and show a video on the Cut, Cap and Balance pledge. I encourage to read Heritage Action CEO Mike Needham’s piece on why conservatives have an obligation to hold firm in their demand for serious changes during this debate.
- Pete Sepp, executive vice president at National Taxpayers Union, will explain why the EPA’s $2 trillion promise from Clean Air Act regulations shouldn’t be trusted.
