Dear Friend of Liberty,
When House leadership decided to rush through an over-1200 page Cap-and-Trade bill, your actions turned Cap-and-Trade from one of the administration'
By a final vote of 219-212 (with eight Republicans switching sides
to support the legislation)
If you will keep the pressure up against this oondoggle, the Senate may not even vote on it before their August recess. (Click here
to sign the petition to your senators insisting they cast every vote against Cap-and-Trade.
With this legislation, the Obama administration is once again delivering its version of change -- change for the worse.
Change will come to your energy bills, as estimates place the eventual increase in annual fees in the thousands of dollars for the average American family.
Change will come to the way business is done, as even more of them decide to escape further regulation by moving overseas.
Change will come to individuals and families struggling during ths latest economic crisis, as the additional costs of doing business force companies to lay off more workers while the price of heating and cooling a home skyrockets. The working poor and young families will be especially hard hit by this regressive, hidden tax hike.
Barack Obama has estimated the costs of this legislation to American taxpayers to be over 650 BILLION dollars over the next eight years, and that figure is no doubt just a fraction of the real cost.
Coming off the heels of a razor-thin vote in the House, and with outrage over spending increasing every day across the country, many Senators are already very nervous about supporting a bill creating so much controversy.
Thanks to your efforts, the administration and Senate leadership are facing an enormous hurdle. By continuing to keep up the pressure, we can stop the Cap-and-Tax threat and prevent the federal government from further crippling our economyand eroding our standard of living.

In Liberty,
John Tate
