CLIMATE CHANGE BILL MORE LIES AND TAX

US President Barack Obama has pleaded with US lawmakers to prove they are not "afraid of the future" by backing a historic global warming bill, on the eve of a tense vote in Congress.
The House of Representatives is set to vote on the legislation, a key plank of Obama's domestic program, today, and Democratic leaders have launched an intense lobbying operation to win over wavering members.

I know this is going to be a close vote, in part because of the misinformation that is out there that suggests there is somehow a contradiction between investing in clean energy and our economic growth, Obama said last night.

But my call to those members of Congress who are still on the fence as well as to the American people is this: we cannot be afraid of the future, we can't be prisoners of the past.

We have been talking about this issue for decades, now is the time to finally act, Obama said in an event at the Rose Garden of the White House.

Former US vice-president turned global warming campaigner Al Gore scrapped a planned visit to the Capitol to woo hesitant lawmakers and instead was reaching out by telephone from his home base in Tennessee, congressional officials said.

The move was an apparent sign that the race for the 218 votes needed to pass the legislation, against stiff Republican opposition, was tightening.

Tell us what kind of vehicle you drive? Tell us what your square footage of the home you live in? What is your average utility bill? Do you live in the woods? If not don't expect to get any respect in your beliefs. Like a typical liberal you want other people to change their ways, not you. You are all hypocrites! Like your hero Al Gore who will fly in a private plane to a speech he will give and get paid $200,000 while using more gasoline in the one trip than you will use in 10 years.

a hybrid?? do you know how much copper is in that skateboard with windows?? the ipcc report states that humans only contribute 5% of co2, to say that we are the problem(antro change) is obscene and insulting to even the lowest of intelects.

Oh you are mislead my friend. This tax is meant to control everything and everyone. While I agree that our fossil fuel consumption must change, this bill will result in nothing but raised taxes and Federal Reserve (private bank who prints our money backed by nothing- corrupt?) control or "regulation" of all businesses. This will financially enslave the public. How can you even tax carbon-the most basic element of life? Dont buy into the bullshit the TV tells you. Wake up my friend.

If China and India don't change, it dosen't matter what we do as a country to change the enviroment.....This is nothing but a screen for obama to pay G.E. back for electing his stupid dumb ass President. Higher tax and fees for all Americans, weather your Daddy drives a Hybrid or not. How can our so call leaders vote on a bill that added over 300 pages at 2:30 in the morning?? Are they that stupid, or they just don't care about Americans. We have an obligation to vote and change this joke....

SkateGeek remove the blind fold please. Look around you and see what is happening. Do some serious research and learn the truth. This is just slave tax along with other taxes that will follow like health tax even if you dont want it.

Who are you or the governement to decide how anyone else shall live. You see, the problem with libs who believe in fairy tales is they try to drag everyone else along into their fantasy. Libs are truely marxists who feel whatever they believe in everyone should change and mold their life for them. Screw off!
