"This program is designed to give government the power and the mechanism to increase the cost of energy produced by fossil fuel to a price higher than the cost of energy produced by wind and solar sources. This agenda item will give government the power to essentially control the economy, by controlling the supply and price of energy that runs the economy. It will also give government the appearance of protecting the environment, which is a sop to environmental organizations and to the international community. And it will extract windfall taxes to allow government to redistribute America's wealth to achieve the social equity goals of the Democratic socialist majority."
Henry Lamb, from WND 6/27/09
We may see this monstrosity passed by the senate or maybe not. Senator Imhoff of Oklahoma says it doesn't have a chance, but with an almost bulletproof majority, especially if Al Franken gets the seat from Minnesota, it isn't likely that it doesn't have a chance, and if passed by the Senate, it will be signed into law by the usurper in chief, and unless we do our part, we will have to live by it.
Friday afternoon late, the House of Representatives voted 219-212 with three not voting, to pass the "American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009’’ or better known as Crap and Trade (Cap and Trade).
Conservatives around the country might like to know that there were eight Republicans who voted in favor of the measure, and two who did not vote. A swing of only five of those votes would have resulted in defeat instead of passing.
For your interest, those Republicans who voted for the "Crap and Trade" were:
1. Mary Bono Mack California 45th district
2. Michael Castle Deleware at large
3. Mark Kirk Illinois 10th district
4. Leonard Lance New Jersey 7th district
5. Frank LoBiando New Jersey 2nd district
6. John McHugh New York 23rd district
7. David Reichert Washington 8th district
8. Chris Smith New Jersey 4th district
And the two Republicans who did not take the time to vote were:
9. Jeff Flake Arizona 6th district
10. John Sullivan Oklahoma 1st district
If one of these congressmen (or woman) is yours, call, write, email or fax them and let them know how you feel.
There is NO constitutional authority for this kind of legislation and we have the right under the tenth amendment to refuse to allow it to be enforced.
"Powers not delegated to the United States (federal government) by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it (the Constitution) to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." (word in paremphasis mine)
America, it's time to say no more.
I have recently joined the Texas Nationalist Movement in their effort to secede from the U.S. government. I want to see the tenth amendment enforced before such a move is made, but lacking that move, secession seems to be the next step to take.

Come on Americans. Get off your lazy duffs and lets all do something to take this country back from the socialists who are trying to ruin it.
