The fight against cap and trade and other economy-killing energy taxes is far from over. Please call your Congressmen and urge them to oppose the "American Power Act."
Here are some suggested talking points:
1. The legislation includes a "Fuels' Fee" that is in fact a $.27 per gallon of gasoline tax.
2. The bill is really just another cap and trade scheme in disguise.
3. It's a jobs killer in the industrial Midwest and across the country.
4. It creates a brand new government slush fund for Washington to spend.
5. It's an energy tax, hitting the poor and middle class the hardest.
6. It's the largest tax increase ever.
7. It will needlessly export more American jobs to China, India, and other countries.
8. It will do nothing to impact global climate temperatures.
9. The bill contains multi-billion dollar handouts for select corporations like General Electric, Duke Energy, and BP, who all support higher energy costs.
Please be polite, urge a no vote, remind the office that you will be watching their votes this November, post a comment below to tell us how it went and how your legislators plan on voting, and finally - urge your family and friends to call.

Stop the Cap and Trade Energy Bailout!
Big government’s bailout mania seems to know no bounds. The mortgage bailout for irresponsible borrowers and banks…the TARP, Wall Street bailout…the auto-bailout that turned General Motors into “Government Motors” overnight…enough is enough!
Nevertheless, President Obama, joined by some of his liberal allies in Congress including Nancy Pelosi, Henry Waxman, and Barbara Boxer, are pushing yet another bailout…the Cap and Trade Energy Bailout.
Cap and trade creates a new multi-billion dollar “market” for trading CO2 literally out of thin air.
The winners: A handful of companies that have cut back-room deals with Obama and company that will give them a leg up in this new cap and trade system in exchange for their support.
The losers: As usual, the American taxpayers that will once again get stuck with the bill for a new big government program as they see their energy costs go up across the board.
