Stop Cap and Tax... Obama said under his plan energy prices will skyrocket.

Update.. the House may have passed this.. but we still have the Senate battle to come.. and it will likely be tougher for the Democrats to pass there as they will need 60 votes to overcome the inevitable filibuster. If only one or two Democratic Senators from coal states or manufacturing states stand for what is right it will not pass.

This is something about to be passed. NOW. Call your Congressmen right away. Even they admit that it will cost a LOT.... the first year of actual increased restrictions,.. with the easiest restrictions, you will only pay an estimated $175 more... but they leave out lots of important details. Add to that that companies will pay MUCH higher energy bills.. and we will see increased prices on products.. and even worse, companies moving overseas to avoid the cost. That is what happened in much of Europe when they tried cap and trade. It is a bad idea... and an expensive one.

To get a more realistic view of the cost I think it is fair to assume it will be like Britain.. where the estimated costs is $1300 per family over a year just a few years into the program. The Heritage Foundation's estimates are worse, saying that in 2020, when the restrictions hit... it will cost $1800 per family per year.. and going up, up, up and the restrictions get tougher and tougher... eventually costing over $6,000 per year.

The goal is to force us to change to more eco-friendly energy.. but the reality will be that for the most part factories and businesses will flee to Asia, just as they have in Europe.. so the net on the environment will not be better. In fact, Europe has found that companies do NOT reduce carbon use... they just raise prices. We have many failed examples of this program... I do not want us to be yet another.

Here are a few videos on the matter.. the first is a democratic Congressman sharing the facts on Cap and Trade.. and the other is a Republican ad that includes Obama's quote on skyrocketing energy prices.

This is a matter of HUGE URGENCY. They are likely to vote TOMORROW. Call first thing. Don't let this be an issue you stay on the sidelines for. You can get contact info in my sidebar for your Congressmen and women. ACT NOW.





An article worth reading: The Cap and Tax Fiction, of the Wall Street Journal.

Looking Past the Rhetoric: The Real Unemployment Numbers

I found this chart found at an excellent article at Innocent Bystanders . I hear over and over again about how this is all Bush's legacy. I don't buy it. Those red dots? The actual numbers climbing up, up, up.. those are Obama's failed policies and the results. Obama promised us such a rosy result if we just spent the billions in the recovery plan. He promised such dire results if we did not pass it. Hmmmmmm.

Clearly his policies are not doing as promised. Now he says they need more stimulus money. More. More. More. That will bring the jobs he promised the first time. If you go back and do the numbers... even being generous to Obama... the per job cost is hundreds of thousands of dollars.

But do we hear about the wastes of government now? About Obama's wasteful spending on a trip to the theater? No... but during Bush's presidency we heard about how children were starving while he played golf... and the unemployment numbers were nothing compared to now. Media bias? uh. yeah.

Pres. Obama, This is NOT a Muslim nation.. it IS a Christian Nation!

When in Turkey, our President, Obama, announced that this nation is no longer a Christian nation. This saddened me greatly. And I posted at the time on this matter. Then... on his most recent trip in the Middle East, he said something that when juxtaposed with his earlier statement made me shiver. He said that the United States was one of the world's largest Muslim nations. Put aside that this is NOT even true.. we are way down the list of Muslim population... it was only a month before that our president said we are NO LONGER A CHRISTIAN NATION.. and now he says we are a MUSLIM NATION???

I can not begin to express my anger over that terminology. I can not understand the media silence on this and so many other issues. How is it that this country with only a few percent of our population is Muslim is a Muslim nation but with an overwhelming majority of Christians here, we are no longer a Christian nation.

Recently I was shown this youtube video where Congressman Forbes lays out the facts about our Judeo-Christian heritage. I wanted to share it with you all.



Get active everyone.. in politics.. locally.. and write and call your Congressmen. Watch our leadership carefully. Changes are so quickly coming. They undermine our nation. They undermine our faith. We can no longer sit idly by.

And pray. " If My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land."

Obama's Plan for a Single Payer Health Care System Revealed

Thanks nicedeb.. once again.. for finding an awesome video that clearly spells out the goal of Obama's health care plan.. in his own words over time. What amazes me is not that he wants single payer.. he clearly is a socialist and his decisions in a wide range of areas makes this abundantly clear.. but that the media is so thoroughly avoiding doing any journalistic work to reveal his agenda. Sigh.

This means it falls to US. We must get the word out. We must call and write our Congressmen and women. Spread the word. Don't go down without a fight for what we believe in.
