Call your representatives in Congress right now and tell them not to vote for the Cap and Trade bill that is being aggressively pushed through by Speaker Pelosi. In fact- call other people's representatives too! They're spending your money after all, and trying to regulate your life.Below this sample of what to say, I have a list of representatives and how they're leaning on the Cap and Trade bill at present, as well as a link to find your own representative's phone number by simply entering your zip code.
When you call, politely, but firmly say:
Hello.
I am calling to urge Rep __________ to vote “NO” on HR 2454- the Cap & Trade bill.
This is an outrageous grab for power that will drastically increase the tax burden and cost of living for hard working Americans.
No Representative who votes for this bill will be getting my vote in 2010.
Thank you and have a great day!
