R.S.F. America

Tomorrow (Friday 6/26/09) the Cap and Trade, more accurately called the Cap and Tax bill, comes up for House vote.  It represents both the largest tax increase and greatest incursion into our lives by government in American history.  It must be stopped in its tracks.  Passage of this measure will siphon thousands of dollars per year from your family’s pockets.

For example, according to American Solutions, the energy tax would:

• Destroy an average of 1 to as many as 3 million jobs every year
• Raise inflation-adjusted gasoline and heating oil prices by 74 percent
• Raise residential natural gas prices by 55 percent
• Raise an average family’s annual energy bill by $1,500 annually
• Increase the federal debt by 26 percent, which is $29,150 per person

Several Republicans and ‘Blue Dog’ Democrats are on the fence and under tremendous political pressure to pass this travesty.  They must be contacted immediately and told to vote “NO” if they expect to be re-elected next year.  These key votes are:
