CALL TO ACTION!!!!!

“[U]nder my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket.” -- Barack Obama

An expensive new “tax” bill will be considered on the floor of the House as early as this Friday, June 26. This bill is known as the “American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009,” H.R. 2454, also known as the Waxman-Markey climate change bill.

Call these MN US Representatives TODAY! And TOMORROW. And FRIDAY!

Rep. Collin Peterson (Ag Committee Chair): 202-225-2165 ** (Peterson just caved and is now supporting the bill) **
Rep. Tim Walz 202-225-2472
Rep. Betty McCullum 202-225-6631
Rep. Jim Oberstar 202-225-6211
Rep. Keith Ellison 202-225-4755

1. I oppose the cap-and-trade Carbon Tax. This is an outrageous power grab by the federal government that will greatly expand government control and increase energy costs for my family.

2. This system of "allocations" has failed in Europe and will politicize America's energy policy.

3. Especially in these difficult economic times, Congress must not pass this tax on the American people!

Thanks for taking a stand!
