Still Time to Stop Cap and Tax Bill

There is still time to stop the legislative monstrosity known as the Waxman-Markey cap-and-trade bill before the Senate approves it. But for that to happen, Americans must learn how bad it is...

...The Heritage Foundation's Ben Lieberman says he's found no "decent refutation of the assertion that the temperature impact would be inconsequential."

Unfortunately, the bill's negative impact on the economy would not be inconsequential. Lieberman says the bill would cause estimated job losses averaging about 1.15 million from 2012-2030, and the cumulative projected loss in gross domestic product would be almost $10 trillion by 2035. The national debt from this bill alone, disregarding the multiple bailouts, stimulus packages and health care "reform," would increase by 2035 for a family of four by 26 percent, or $115,000...

"Worst Scientific Scandal in History" - Cap and Trade

The number of skeptics [of global warming], far from shrinking, is swelling. Oklahoma Sen. Jim Inhofe now counts more than 700 scientists who disagree with the U.N. -- 13 times the number who authored the U.N.'s 2007 climate summary for policymakers. Joanne Simpson, the world's first woman to receive a Ph.D. in meteorology, expressed relief upon her retirement last year that she was finally free to speak "frankly" of her nonbelief. Dr. Kiminori Itoh, a Japanese environmental physical chemist who contributed to a U.N. climate report, dubs man-made warming "the worst scientific scandal in history." Norway's Ivar Giaever, Nobel Prize winner for physics, decries it as the "new religion." A group of 54 noted physicists, led by Princeton's Will Happer, is demanding the American Physical Society revise its position that the science is settled. (Both Nature and Science magazines have refused to run the physicists' open letter.) More WSJ ...

Meeting with Jane Harman

Gary Aven, Jane Harman, Nathan Mintz (6/30/2009)

We had a great meeting with Jane Harman who was cordial, gracious, and very interested in this growing grassroots TEA party movement that we are a part of.  She said she was impressed by the number of calls that she has gotten from our group.  She is a Blue Dog Democrat and one of our goals was to support her in all of her fiscally conservative positions and encourage her in future bills because we the people want to stop the staggering spending, balance the budget, and stop the bailouts.  And on the Health-care bill which has not hit the floor yet that we want a fiscally conservative solution that does not grow the power of the Federal Government in any way.  We also expressed our profound disapointment with her Cap and Trade vote.  More on all this later as I must get on a plane in a few minutes. 

Cap and Tax, ObamaNonCare, Porkulus - When does it stop?

Cap and Tax, ObamaNonCare, Porkulus, when are we going to get fed up enough to hit the streets again?  The time to stop these bills are before they are enacted.  Join us July 17^th.  MORE…  See how your Representative voted.

In The Heritage Foundation's analysis of the Waxman-Markey climate change legislation, the GDP hit in 2020 was $161 billion (2009 dollars). For a family of four, that translates into $1,870--a pretty big chunk of change that the CBO is ignoring.  MORE… Jane Harman just voted for this 6/26/2009 MORE…

WASHINGTON -- The Senate Finance Committee wrestled Tuesday to bring down the total cost of its health-care package, after an initial estimate put the price tag for one version at more than $1.6 trillion over 10 years.  MORE…
