Agreed Mike spoke nicely.. he has some aura about him, rare in the whine that is our politicians lately.
Rep Joe Barton just mentioned the EA scandel in his closing remarks!!!!
Oopp EPA
[I told you to stop changing emails and names – no longer welcome here with all the switcheroos]
Barton mentioned the EPR suppressing the science on climate.
Here it comes. Waxman waxing on about “tipping points”, etc.
Debate time expired. Amendment being considered
Amendment being considered would totally replace the current bill with a “new Manhattan project”, including studies for how to accomplish energy independence in 20 years.

[snip – ad hom against Waxman]
I just got off phone with Rep Mitchell (AZ) – my representative. He’s listed as leaning yes. I was informed he was voting NO. That’s one DEM more in the no column!
YEAH!!!!

4:57 P.M. –
DEBATE – Pursuant to the provisions of H.Res. 587, the House proceeded with 30 minutes of debate on the Forbes amendment.
Amendment offered by Mr. Forbes.
An amendment printed in part B of House Report 111-185 to strike everything and insert the text of H.R. 513, the “New Manhattan Project for Energy Independence.”
Spread the word about the EPA and White House’s suppression of science on every forum you can. Don’t waste time getting into debates with people who believe in catastrophes and epidemics that never come true. Just say what you know is true and post the links that prove it. In addition link to my youtube upload of Christy’s brilliant debate with Schlesinger. Just click share to show your Facebook friends.
YAY HAppy to report Cynthia Lummis, Wyomings voice in the House voted NO on the roll call vote.
WOO HOO Way to Go. I just wish we had a few more I could call.
Keep up the fight and remember this in 2010 Throww the tax and spend demons OUT, starting with Granny Pelosi!!!!!!
Way to Go FRED. Keep the pressure on!!!
Watching on C-span. This is depressing. These are the people we elected to represent us.
Listening the Dems debate this leaves me thoroughly depressed.
It’s like watching a train-wreck in super slo-mo.
This is insane… Now Gordon Brown wants to send 113 B$ to the third world to help them combat climate change.
Ther eis nothing to combat but to learn how to adapt to natural climate change.

So Rep Hoyer believes Starbucks & Nike do not already act to conserve energy and costs?
I just called (at least I got to talk to one of his staff) my rep D-Driehaus Ohio to inform him that I wanted him to vote NO on the cap and trade bill and to correct the spelling of my first and last name (I got some offical paper correspondence from him), as that was all F*’d up too. (Don’t worry guys, I’d minded my phraseology)
Andrew
Brown and most of his party are loons. Let him send his country’s money. Fine by me, but keep my money out of it.
