Cap-and-Tax, What Cap-and-Tax?

The masters of diversion have managed to pull off another spectacular feat of misdirection. The morning radio talkers are all a twitter about the ABC health care infomercial debacle that aired last night. As an aside, I find it a little interesting that conservatives pretty much boycotted the viewing of ABCs sop to the Obama administration, but are now apparently quite eager to find out what was said second hand. Anyway, the biggest issue on the radar at the moment is not health care reform. It's not even Barney Frank's "push" to legalize pot. These issues are smoke screens and they are working very well for the oligogues in Washington.

The imminent issue that needs our immediate attention is the Cap-and-Tax measure that the house will be voting on -Tomorrow- (Friday 6/26). While we've spent a week distracted by pot, ABC, and Mahmoud our misrepresentatives have been getting their ducks in a row to foist upon us the biggest tax hike in the history of the republic. The American public is becoming increasingly dubious of the merits of the global warming scam and the statists know that the door is rapidly closing on their ability to 'take advantage of the crisis'. The only bright spot in this issue is that Pelosi currently doesn't have the votes needed to pass the bill on Friday. That bright spot still has ample opportunity to dim as the proponents of the bill continue to lobby democrats and moderate republicans.

As the statists continue their drive to control every aspect of our lives we need to keep track of everything they are up to, but the immediate threats need special attention. The immediate threat for the day is H.R.2454; a resolution to create clean energy jobs, achieve energy independence, reduce global warming pollution and transition to a clean energy economy. Cap-and-Tax is not a tax on the rich. This is a regressive tax that poses a real threat to the economy, to jobs and to the cost of living of everyday Americans. Rich or poor, your energy costs are going up if Cap-and-Tax becomes law. For my fellow Texans, the impact to the Texas economy alone is estimated at 35 Billion dollars in jobs alone.

There are a good number of representatives that are uncertain about supporting this resolution. A clear message of opposition to Cap-and-Tax legislation from their constituents can help them make the right choice in the face of intense pressure from the democrat leadership. Please contact your representative in Washington today and ask them to oppose this resolution.
