We have just learned that Pelosi and key Democrats have struck
yet another back-room deal to force a floor vote massive
cap-and-trade Carbon Tax to the House this Friday.

Our reports indicate that many members of Congress, especially
Democrats in agriculture and coal states, are still undecided.
But they are facing enormous pressure from Pelosi, Obama and
the radical environmental lobby.Grassfire is asking every team member to take immediate
action in two ways:

#1 -- Send Faxes Now!

   We must let every member of the House know that citizens
   do NOT want yet another enormous tax and government
   bureaucracy! We oppose their massive carbon taxing
   scheme! To send your faxes, click here.


If you prefer to send your faxes, please use the fax numbers
and sample fax letters provided above.

#2-- Call your Rep today!

Call your Representative and key House leaders and tell them
you oppose H.R. 2454!

Other key House leaders or undecideds to call:

Rep. Collin Peterson (Ag Committee Chair): 202-225-2165
(Peterson just caved and is now supporting the bill)

Rep. Tim Holden (Ag Cmmtte Vice Chair): 202-225-5546

Rep. Tim Walz (MN) 202-225-2472

Rep. Mike McIntyre (NC): 202-225-2731

Rep. Henry Cuellar (TX): 202-225-1640

Rep. David Scott (GA): 202-225-2939


Talking Points:

1. I oppose the cap-and-trade Carbon Tax. This is an outrageous
  power grab by the federal government that will greatly
  expand government control and increase energy costs for
  my family.

2. This system of "allocations" has failed in Europe and
  will politicize America's energy policy.

3. Especially in these difficult economic times, Congress must
  not pass this tax on the American people!

Thanks for taking a stand!


P.S. There is so much controversy surrounding this vote and
Pelosi's back-room, fast-track tactics that even CBS news is
calling the vote a "gamble" for Pelosi. Please take a stand
to stop this outrageous new tax. Make calls and send faxes here.
