Final vote: 219 Yea, 212 Nay
Lets hope for defeat in the Senate. The list of votes is below.
As they say, making legislation is like making sausage. There’s a final product, but you surely don’t want to see the ugly process of it being made.
Today, those of us watching CSPAN, saw the ugliness of the sausage factory.
Here is the link to the vote tally:

Let’s not HOPE for defeat in the Senate. Let’s WORK for the defeat of this travesty. And in 2010, sweep out every Congressman who voted in favor if this. That will be all of my delegation.
By playing this thing as a Democrat Vs Republican thing many of you fall into the trap that has been set by those who know how to use the political spectrum to their advantage.
This should be about rationalism, science and liberty versus superstition, cronyism, elitism and tyranny. That should be your goal if you all care about this issue at all.
I’m sorry to see this, hope you yanks can do better on the next stage.
A sausage? I was thinking more along the lines of a fowl such as our goose is cooked. Now we’ve got to hope for some sanity out of the Senate after they get back to business in July. If they don’t stop it the great pretender will surely sign it – and in a decade, everything will have a tag – “Made in China”.
8 GOP need to get the axe-And all but 44 Dems. This is a disgrace…
The final vote: H R 2454 RECORDED VOTE 26-Jun-2009 7:17 PM QUESTION: On Passage BILL TITLE: American Clean Energy and Security Act
See how your legislator voted and act.
I want a list of who voted yes and who did not vote. These will be the names of people I will never vote for again. Where do we get a list?
We are no longer represented.
Do I give up an move to India? I’m considering it. The business I’m in REQUIRES a particular amount of electricity. Broadcasting. If we turn our transmitters down, we simply lose our coverage. Simple as that.
And we can’t pass the cost to our advertisers; radio advertising is already eviscerated.
Great picture.. LOL!
Now, it should be interesting to see how much money Gore made with only this piece of news.
What’s that sound? Oh, a billion plus Chinese people giving the House of Reps a round of applause. 好工作!!!

I doubt the Senate will defeat this bill. It’s almost filibuster proof and the dems have Snowe, McCain, and a few other Republican Senators in their pockets.
We need to fight this a different way. Either the supreme court or by mass protests and peaceful disturbances.
To avoid partisanship, look at the UK, and what the King Canute government has done there. Your Congress has now voted for King Canute.
I can’t believe this.. the CBO proved it will cost each American $3000-$12000 per year. Only elitist liberals have that kind of money. What are real Americans supposed to do?
I’m sure India and China hopes we will buy less oil in the future. Supply and demand.
On the good news side, I understand the CLOUD experiment at CERN is continuing, with a key part of the apparatus having been received recently.

It’s obvious you don’t speak Chinese. Did you use google translate? My friends and I use it once in awhile to enjoy the totally off-the-mark translation.
Pielke jr has an interesting analysis where he pointed out that there was little risk of voting for the bill since it had little chance to get through the senate. I guess he was right.
I am completely beside myself. I am past being outraged! I have control and influence of more that 84,000 websites and domains in this country. I am now going to use them! These idiots better start packing their bags!
Anybody have the names of the republicans who voted for this? I’ve already called one but the lines and message mailboxes were full. I’m calling everyone of these idiots and giving them an earful. They sold us out over the interests of foreigners.
There were also a couple of Republicans who did not vote on the most ridiculous piece of (snip) that has ever sullied the halls of congress.
Then move to Central America. The place that has no taxes and no global warming taxes and is at least warm. 1.5 Million Europeans die each year from cold and I forget who many in the UK. US citizens die now from cold, it will get worse. Canadians also and it will get worse. I am out of here, leaving the country for those who wish to freeze to death.I can take my business anywhere and I am sure you all can do also.
A translation website, I think it was Babelfish. How did you know I don’t speak Chinese? 😉 May as well get started now.

If I understood your reference, you’ve mis-characterized King Canute. He commanded the tide to demonstrate the LIMITS of his power as sovereign.
The US Congress sees no limits to its power.

They are supposed to bow to their masters and washington and recite the famous line by Oliver twist….

They’re laughing in Asia now. The new global economic powerhouse will center around China.
