*ACTION ALERT!* Stop These Train Wrecks! Call Congress Today!

Faster than a locomotive!
Faster than a speeding bullet!
It’s a bird, it’s a train…
No, it’s….
CONGRESS!
Congress is moving through bills and hearings at the speed of light. Focusing on one issue alone is a luxury we simply cannot afford.

States Committing Suicide? Tariffs Added to HR 2454 / 2998 / Cap & Trade At Their Insistence Puts Bill Over The Top in the House

Updated July 9, 2009

Some have postulated that the current period resembles that of the early 1930s in America. It’s difficult to argue.

Yes…they really DID pass HR 2454 in the House of Representatives yesterday.
And if you were watching the mess on C-Span as it was happening, it didn’t help that feeling that your head was, literally, going to explode.
