The Senate needs to hear from you regarding the $1.2 trillion Carbon Tax. Please see below.
The U.S. Senate is considering voting on a massive $1.2 trillion Carbon tax that they believe would help "save the planet" from man-made global warming.
Passage of this tax would have a devastating impact on our economy-- sharply raising the price of gas (by as much as $1.40 per gallon), raise taxes and demand emissions reductions that can't be realized.
But even as the bill is being debated, there are growing concerns in the Senate about the timing of the bill and citizen response.
Senate Environmental and Public Works Chairman Barbara Boxer when asked what she was doing to calm the growing concerns of her colleagues, replied, "My concern is just getting the bill out there. We’ve done that. From here on out, it’s up to each Senator to decide."
There you have it. Barbara Boxer is leaving it up to the Senators to decide--which means you and I have a short window of opportunity to impress upon members of the Senate that the Carbon Tax (S. 3036) is a frighteningly bad idea!

Either way, please take action. These are very serious times that demand our full efforts. I look forward to your quick response.
++ Timing is EVERYTHING
To be clear, our Capitol contacts have told us Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is planning on keeping the Lieberman-Warner bill on the Senate floor at least until sometime next week.
We need to use this time to make a clear and profound impression on EACH and EVERY Senator by swamping them with faxes demanding a "NO" vote on the Carbon Tax Bill.
Your quick support right now is both necessary and appreciated!
I'm new so be kind! My first input to Grassfire and you all is to finance and create TV spots to counter the stupid Pat Bucannon/Al Sharpton pieces being run daily. The premise that we (human beings and our evil ways) are in control of our planet's climate is clearly being articulated, inaccurate as it may be. What I want to see is a series of spots that demonstrate to average ignorant people that the premise is wrong!! The debate is not over! Let's clearly illustrate that underneath the ice in Greenland, there was once serious farming taking place. Let's show that caves in Switzerland, which were exposed after some glaciers receded, had in them implements/tools used for silver mining. Let's point out that huge oil fields in the vicinity of the Arctic Circle were once dense jungles! We could go on and on. The other side is making it look like the debate is over. No way!

Thanks! I will share with many people and have read/seen other good stuff like this. What I want to see is a series of short TV clips that get this message across in 30 and 60 second prime time spots like the other side is doing.
we need to spread out these kind of short videos out as much as possible to break liberal's lie that using global warming to scare the public and to extort their money!
