A Call To Action - Oppose Cap And Trade

by Mike Huckabee

By now, most of you have had an opportunity to learn about the Cap and Trade Bill (HR 2454) that the House of Representatives narrowly passed on June 25 by a vote of 219 to 212.  Now that bill is moving to the floor of the Senate.  It is time to make your voice heard.  I urge you to call members of the  Senate.  Tell them you are opposed to the Cap and Trade Legislation.  Give them specific reasons for your opposition.  If you can?t phone them, at least send them an email.  Here are some facts to remember.  The Cap and Trade Bill will add hundreds of dollars in costs to each American family.  The corresponding benefit is negligible.  The American people simply can?t afford the cost of legislation that is ill conceived and unwarranted. 

Europe has already enacted their version of Cap and Trade.  It has been a dismal failure there.  In fact, it has resulted in the loss of millions of jobs in Europe.  Ask the Senators that you call if they have even bothered to read the legislation they are considering.  I urge you to call as many Senators as you can to oppose this legislation.  Urge the Senate to listen to the voices of the people.  Don't sell out the American people to special interests.

* A note from Mike Ford, OK-

Contact your Senator, then contact every Senator who is Democrat, or who is known as a "moderate" Republican. If you are not sure what to say, simply tell them:

 

"I am reminding the Senator that he/she works for me, and that if he/she votes FOR this bill, I will not only discontinue any support for him/her, but will tirelessly support his/her opponent in the next Primary or General election with financial and volunteer efforts."

Note:  The following Democratic Senators voted against Cap and Trade the last time it was before the Senate:

 

Byron Dorgan

I urge you to call as many Senators as you can to oppose this legislation.  Urge the Senate to listen to the voices of the people.  Don't sell out the American people to special interests.
