Wall Street Journal
Friday, June 26, 2009

A landmark climate bill narrowly passed a key procedural hurdle in the House Friday, a sign that leadership may have the votes for final passage later in the day.

It passed by a vote of 217-205.

Passage of the controversial bill will hand Democrats and President Barack Obama a major victory on a cornerstone administration policy. It would also give Washington strong bargaining leverage ahead of international climate negotiations later this year. If it fails, therefore, it would be a major setback for Democrats.

The legislation, totaling about 1,200 pages, would require the country to reduce carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions by 17% from 2005 levels by 2020 and about 80% by the next century. U.S. carbon dioxide emissions from the burning of fossil fuels have been increasing at about 1% a year and are expected to continue to go up if no mandatory reductions are required.


Call your congressperson now!
I called mine and asked him to go on record as to whether he would read the whole damn thing (1200 pages) before voting a possible "yay" on it. His aide would not commit to that. He did sound quite harried over the number of calls they are getting.

Let them KNOW you do not approve, then they will have no excuse when voters eventually show up with the tar, feathers and pitchforks.

Here we go... Waxman up 1st
