All
Clubs Should Monitor Bill Closely in
the Senate as Harry Reid Wants a
Vote Before August Recess
The "Cap and Tax" bill designed to
protect against greenhouse-gas
emissions by imposing a cap on the
amount of carbon that utilities and
companies could produce passed the
House by a vote of 219-212 late
Friday. This bill will pass costs
along to businesses and consumers
and could lead to jobs going
overseas.
"You're going to find signs on
manufacturing doors, if this bill
passes, that say, 'Moved, gone to
China,'" said Sen. Charles Grassley
(R., Iowa) on ABC's "This Week." (Wall
Street Journal)
The bill is now in the Senate and
will soon face votes from the Energy
and Natural Resources Committee and
the Environment and Natural
Resources Committee. But Obama and
Harry Reid's Democrats want to rush
a vote before the August recess in
Congress.
It is clear this legislation will
add costs to small businesses that
will hurt their ability to hire more
workers. It will also drain your
pocketbook as utility bills will
rise. Contact the senators in your
state and also tell Senator Jeff
Bingaman and Senator Barbara Boxer
who chair the committees where the
bill now resides that we will not
stand for cap and tax.
I have received many comments from club members that are
extremely disappointed in Congressman Mike Castle's vote on Cap and
Trade. They are in a quandary as to why he would vote "Yea" on this
bill when it is obvious that the legislation needs to be stopped.
Now it is questionable whether this can be stopped in the
Senate. Let Senator Carper know your feelings!! SAY NO TO CAP AND
TAX!
Also remember - Health Care Reform - don't believe the commercials.
President Obama has stated that Private Health Insurance Companies
can exist once the bill is passed, however, HIS government health
insurance program won't need to make a profit, and therefore, will
be impossible to compete against. Make your voice heard, contact
your U.S. Senator/Representative.
