Dems ram cap and trade to vote
Congressman Spencer Bachus writes in his blog that the “House leadership bypassing key committees on cap and tax“;
The Democrat leadership is preventing the public from learning important details about the cap and tax plan by bypassing several key committees. As a Ranking Member on the Financial Services Committee, I called for hearings on the bill’s creation of a massive trading scheme for carbon emissions.
From Drudge a link to Politico which reports that Al gore isn’t coming to DC today as he had planned (probably so we don’t have record low temperatures);
Former Vice President Al Gore canceled plans to fly to Washington for a news conference with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday, and instead was working the phones from Tennessee to help push a landmark climate bill to passage.
Apparently Democrats are getting antsy that the crown jewel of the their plans to rape the economy might go down to defeat if they didn’t circumvent the public. They don’t expect the Obama happy hour to do much for them. Even Democrat and Obama supporter Warren Buffet is opposed to cap and trade;
Mike Pence pleaded from the floor of the House to call your congressman now if you oppose cap and tax.
If you oppose the national energy tax, I say call your congressman. If you think the Democrat cap and trade bill will cap growth and trade jobs, call your congressman. If you believe the American people deserve an all-of-the-above energy strategy that will create jobs, achieve energy independence and a cleaner environment then endorse the Republican alternative, call your congressman.
Back to Bachus;
I am very disturbed by the repeated pattern of the House leadership in rushing expensive legislation like cap and tax, the so-called stimulus package, and appropriations bills to a vote without adequate review or debate. It’s irresponsible to fast-track legislation that puts taxpayers on the hook for literally trillions of dollars.

This really irks me, so I made my phone call to my Representative’s D.C. office let them know that if he voted in favor of Cap and Trade that he may as well not run for reelection.

[…] over at This Ain’t Hell tells how the Democrats are trying to sneak Cap and Tax by us without it being examined. To say that I am perturbed would be an understatement. I suppose the “transparency” that was […]
I wrote and called my critter, but considering he’s a spineless Dem, I don’t think it’s going to do much good.
