Dear Rep. Edwards:

I urge you in the strongest possible terms to vote NO when and if HR-2454, American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009, comes up for a vote in the House of Representatives.

HR-2454 will yield negligible environmental gain at too great a cost to the economy, to our fellow Americans, and to your constituents.

Electric rates and gasoline costs will skyrocket forcing all Americans to markedly reduce their energy use. This approach, taken by HR-2454, amounts to a hidden mandate, one that will force my family and others, like it or not, to change our way of life dramatically. We’ll end up with shorter and fewer family vacations, smaller homes and cars, constricted commutes and fewer job opportunities, fewer consumer purchases, etc.

In other words, the only way my family, my children and my yet unborn grandchildren can satisfy this harsh regime is to do without things that matter to them and their families. I do not believe it is a good idea that the American people be forced to forgo the sort of mobility, both literally and figuratively, that has defined our nation for more than two centuries.

Again, I urge you in the strongest possible terms to vote NO on HR-2454 when and if it comes to a vote.

Sincerely,

Why are they not being prosecuted for racketeering and fraud?

Anthropological activity creating climate change is pure science fiction, and our politicians know it. But, hell if their BIG LIE produces legislation to keep us in line and makes them billions of dollars in the process are they going to rock the gravy train?

Anyone who claims to have proof that man’s activities cause climate change is a liar, a charlaton and a thief.

Snake oil salesmen looking for the next sucker, and right now Obama’s looking at you.

This board’s mission is not to sit around and blame everything on George Bush all day. This board, at the risk of great embarassment, has to actually find a way to stimulate the economy. And be it Climate Change legislation, a litany of taxes on the rich, or outright theft and lying, nothing in the progressive playbook is up to the task.

So I want it to be high profile. I want these people to bring their best ideas to the table in full view of the public. I want a grand dog and pony show when their proposed legislations go into effect, and I want regular reports on their progress. And why? So there is no revisionist history when it all fails AND IT WILL. How many of you live near a big city and wonder what those diamonds in the leftmost highway lane mean? How many of you dutifully separate your trash from recyclables, despite never seeing any tangible benefit? How many of you barf when you see those old wood and plastic geodesic dome houses? Yes the artifacts of small minded progressive ideals are all around us, and share one common trait USELESSNESS. And while maybe the odd random person gets a sense of pride carpooling to work or from living in their hideous house, the fact remains that for all the flashy language and big name players, the progressive movement has failed miserably and to bring us anything remotely resembling the progress, results and utopia that were promised. So if anyone now believes that they are going to now fix the worst global recession ever, they’re smoking crack.

So I’m all for this effort, which will surely end in humiliation, being made as public as possible. And while it may put the squeeze on people in the short term, in the long run, the next Bill Gates will come along with the next big paradigm shifting technology, create a new prosperity, and all this bankrupt hooey will be kicked to the curb. Again. Then we’ll all be back to driving Escalades.

And with any luck the failed policies of progressivism will be forced back underground for another 30-40 years. I promise. Remember, the more things “Change” the more they’ll stay the same.
