Get Ready For Barry's National Energy Tax

Help us Stop the National Energy Tax!

 

With the economy on shaky ground, you would think your elected officials in Washington, D.C. would try and find ways to ease the tax burden on hardworking Americans.  Unfortunately, the powers that be on the far Left have other ideas.

President Obama is actively working with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to appease the radical environmentalists by imposing a "cap and trade" scheme to combat supposedly man-made climate change. But this effort to curb carbon-based emissions would not only be ineffective, it would cost all of us dearly every time we flip on a light switch or fill up our gas tank.
TAKE ACTION!

As the President admitted to the San Francisco Chronicle, "Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket." Well, at least he was being upfront about the costs, unlike former Vice President Al Gore, who refused to answer questions about the total costs of implementing a cap and trade program. But Rep. John Dingell (D-MI) rightly pointed out recently, "cap and trade is a tax, and it's a great big one." Estimates are that this national energy tax would cost the average American family $3900 per year!

TAKE ACTION NOW to send a letter to your Representative and Senators, asking them to vote NO on any cap and trade scheme that comes before them in Congress. We have heard encouraging statements from both Democrats and Republicans on this issue who are concerned about the billions of dollars in new taxes and job losses that will result from a cap and trade scheme.

We need to focus on encouraging those Members of Congress that are opposed to cap and trade to stand their ground. Together, we can work to defeat this terrible idea that will harm our economy at a time of real vulnerability.

Sincerely,
Dick Armey
