Action Needed on Waxman-Markey

(Originially posted by my husband on NRO - The Corner)

Well done, Jim, for pointing out all those inconvenient truths on Waxman-Markey. The timing of the vote shows that the House leadership recognizes the problems. They appear to have the vote scheduled for Saturday, when House members' jets will be warming up on the runways to take them off for the July 4th recess, so ensuring that debate on this critically important bill will be kept to a minimum.

We can't let them get away with yet another display of contempt for the democratic process! This bill will impose a $2 trillion drain on the economy for absolutely no climate gain. Yet the House leadership wants to get this through without any debate time. This is a scandal and we need to get angry about it.

You can take action via the National Taxpayers Union's campaign site here. Please take the time to demonstrate your anger at the way this House is treating ordinary consumers of energy by imposing this massive tax in order to please Al Gore and his cronies.
