Who’s Read This?? Waxman Just Added 300 More Pages to H.R. 2454, Waxman-Markey Energy Tax Bill (video)
Posted By Vicki McClure Davidson on June 26, 2009
Shameful. I’m outraged beyond words. You should be, too.
Vote these clowns out in 2010.
Co-author Henry Waxman just added 300 pages to H.R. 2454… update: test vote in, 217, for 205 against. New Update: 210 tied, go to Michelle Malkin for latest “fence sitters” list…
Do you want to read this monstrosity of a bill? Want to see where a huge chunk of your paychecks will be going until the day you die? Pages 831 – 833 are particularly alarming.
Did you vote for anyone who is a head honcho at the EPA? Well, too bad, because EPA will be empowered to run EVERY SINGLE aspect of your life, based on powers granted them. The new Energy Czars…
So, what’s at stake: the killing of millions of jobs, the shameful robbing of your American liberties, taking a bigger chunk of your money for the government. Based on a lie. Carbon dioxide is a natural gas, just like water vapor, and is NOT a pollutant. We exhale CO2, plants take it in to then create oxygen. Will Congress try to limit breathing after this passes? I’m not being facetious here. This is such unbelievable hogwash based on cherry-picked, flawed data, a 4th-grader would see through it.
What’s next? Ridding the atmosphere of water vapor? Dear God, this is lunacy…
CALL 202-224-3121 to tell members of Congress we do NOT want this taxation bill passed.
This is Orwell’s 1984 on steroids.

Update, 12:49 pm AZ, 3:49 pm ET: Congressman Mike Pence is on Sean Hannity’s radio show right now, saying the phones are melting in Washington. KEEP IT UP. The Republicans currently have the floor, but no matter how much they argue against HR 2454 cap-and-tax bill, Pence said the phone calls are making a huge difference.
If you get a busy signal, keep trying. I’ve been attempting off and on all day, with no luck getting through. That’s GOOD… keep dialing. This is NOT over, gang.

This global warming/climate change/CO2 tax bill is 1,200-plus pages long, and with the new 300 pages tossed in by Henry Waxman within the last two hours, is now 1,500 pages. Click here to read HR 2454.
Video from a few weeks ago, Waxman clueless about bill’s contents
Rush Limbaugh quote from yesterday’s radio show:
“The President of the United States does not personally permit or allow anyone to do anything except people who work for him. The bottom line is he works for us. We are the ones who have the power to say, no, we’re not going to allow you to destroy our public sector; we’re not going to permit you to destroy the greatest economy in the history of the world.”
