CAP AND TRADE

HR 2454 the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 is expected to come up for a vote in the House TODAY. While Nationalized Healthcare is in their left hand, this Cap and Trade legislation is what's in their right hand that they don't want you to see. The text of the bill is available at http://thomas.loc.gov

The Heritage Foundation estimates electricity costs rising by 90 percent by 2035, gasoline by 58 percent, and natural gas by 55 percent. A household of four can expect to pay $1,241 more for energy annually by that year. And since higher energy costs raise the price of everything else, the total impact of this energy tax would reach nearly $3,000 per household per year from 2012-2035. Total gross domestic product losses average $383 billion annually from 2012-2035 and would total $9.4 trillion dollars.

According to Politico, Al Gore is canceling his plans today to work the phones from Tennessee to get the votes for cap-and-trade. Some democrats are wavering. They still think it will pass, with some moderate Republicans voting for it.

This is not about clean energy. This is about central planning of our economy. Call your Congressman and demand that they vote no on this bill. Also, EVERYONE please call these undecided Reps: Sheila Jackson Lee 202-225-3816 (D TX 18th)
