**ACTION ALERT** Cap & Trade HR 2454 Coming Up for a Vote!

The Cap and Trade bill (H.R. 2454) is coming up for a vote on the House floor at any time after 9:30am EST today and COULD be voted on this Friday, June 26! before It is unclear when the Senate will vote on the bill, so our Senators need to be contacted also.

Unfortunately like the so-called stimulus

H.R. 2454 is yet another stealth bill
On the fast-track in Congress, meaning it will not be read or debated
Unknown quantity of other bills being embedded by amendment process
Will not / cannot be read prior to a vote based on its size, prior to a vote

Cap-n-trade will be devastating to our economy and citizens and when combined with numerous other amendments, a disaster of epic proportions

WE MUST TAKE ACTION NOW!

Effective action steps:

Most effective means of contact is fax or phone call. (Numbers to call below)

When you call your district / state representative, be sure to provide your zip code so they know you are a constituent
Remember to be polite and tell them what you think, make as many calls as you can.
Try to get on talk radio today about the issue
Forward this message to anyone you think would call

Goal of our calls, faxes, and emails:

Members of Congress should, at minimum, work to delay the vote
We want to see visible, vocal, and articulate opposition to such damaging legislation


Talking Points to use:

Sen. Harvey Waxman, one of the bill's co-sponsors admitted he doesn't know the bill's content; he's relying on "experts"
Is projected to cost at least $3,100 per household in increased utilities
Will negatively impact public and private energy generation, transportation, building codes, appliances, and more
Is projected to lower gross domestic product
Will cause a loss of jobs
Impacts most aspects of our daily lives
Will hurt small business
Creates a "climate exchange", a commodity-type market based on nothing of real value, literally on carbon credits

Targeted Republicans who need calling:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Energy and Commerce Committee chairman Henry Waxman are reaching out to the following House Republicans for their support on Waxman-Markey, according to Carbon Control News:

ACTION ALERT

Today there are three U.S. Senate races currently unresolved: Norm Coleman faces a recount in his victory over Al Franken, Ted Stevens has a narrow lead in his re-election bid, and Saxby Chambliss faces a runoff on December 2 against his Democratic challenger. Chambliss deserves any support you can offer -- financial or otherwise -- and we urge all conservatives to do what they can to make sure he wins his runoff and returns to the Senate to fight for strong national defense, free markets, and a smaller government.

National Democrats have made the defeat of Saxby Chambliss one of their top priorities this cycle. They never forgave him for defeating Max Cleland in 2002, and they have resented his conservative stance on issue after issue.

They recognize that Chambliss is a vote against Barack Obama's agenda of tax increases, profligate spending, radical education policies, and surrender in the war on terror. They know that Chambliss can be counted on to sustain filibusters against card check and giveaways to liberal constituencies

Beyond that, the liberal leadership in Washington D.C. recognizes that Chambliss' vote is critical. They have already secured 57 votes in the Senate, and if the Democrats manage to win the three remaining races, they'll attain their longstanding goal of a filibuster-proof majority. We can't count on our lawyers being shrewder than their lawyers in Alaska and Minnesota as the only way to preserve 41 votes in the U.S. Senate. We need a clean victory in Georgia that creative vote counting can't take away.

As Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid begin to plan their agenda for the years ahead, conservatives must not let up until the 2008 elections are concluded. And that means doing everything we can to re-elect Saxby Chambliss today.

After all, regardless what happens in other races, we can't gamble that all Senate Republicans will stick together on every radical proposal from the Obama administration. Some may vote in favor of some Democratic initiatives; some may be replaced by Democrats in the next few years.

In other words, 41 Senate Republicans may not be enough to prevent the enactment of terrible policies. We need to re-elect principled conservatives like Saxby Chambliss at every opportunity.

Please consider making a donation to Saxby Chambliss today. If you can't donate to support this effort, there are other ways that you can help out. Please consider signing up as a volunteer. Anything you do today will help promote good government for the next 6 years -- or more.

All the best,

ACTION ALERT!

The White House has rejected calls from House Republicans that it convenes a special session of Congress on energy, saying it wouldn’t make difference.

“We don't have plans to call Congress into session -- it won't make a difference if Democratic leaders are unwilling to bring up a bill for an up-down vote,” said White House spokesman Tony Fratto.

Republican Study Committee Chairman Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas) and Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.) asked President Bush to convene the special session in an Aug. 1 letter. The same day, House Republicans launched an unusual protest on the House floor urging House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to call Congress back to work.

"Since Speaker Pelosi has decided not to keep the House in session to allow this vote to take place, we urge you to use the power vested in you by the Constitution to convene an immediate energy special session of Congress,” the letter said.

This is a no brainer! The President has a perfect opportunity to
continue to expose Pelosi and the liberal controlled Congress for what they are, obstructionists paid for by the loony environmentalists unconcerned by the wishes or best interest of the American people! Now is not the time to back down but press in! The President should be over this, so should McCain and so should we!

The President may, under Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution of the United States of America, compel the House of Representatives and Senate to convene in special session.


Call the President at 202-456-1111 and tell him to recall the Congress to Washington to vote on expanding domestic oil production.

Alternatively, go HERE, to send an e-mail to the President to recall Pelosi back to work!

Please call your State Representative and urge them to vote YES on SB 776, which should be on the House floor for a vote THIS WEEK. Please also contact Governor Granholm and urge her to sign this bill into law. NOTE: The HOUSE is voting on a SENATE bill; please be aware to contact your HOUSE Representative about SENATE Bill 776.
Partial Birth Abortion Vote Coming May 21-22

Forces Finally Negotiate Their Surrender
After three weeks of sporadic negotiations, a tentative agreement to take up the PBA ban along with some bills regarding contraception seemed to be in place. As this week unfolded, however, no confirmation was forthcoming that the proabortion contingent in the House was prepared to stick to the deal. Finally, by Thursday afternoon, House Speaker Andy Dillon personally (face-to-face) assured RLM President Barb Listing that the vote would take place next week. While there is still reason to mistrust certain members of the proabortion forces, who may yet try to "blow up" the deal at the last minute, prolife House members are prepared to take whatever procedural action is necessary to see that the vote takes place.

RLM and prolife members have drawn a line in the sand for next week, and the battle will be engaged with or without the proaborts honoring their agreements. The extra time that has elapsed since Legislative Day has allowed us to continue to lobby the "softer prochoice" members of the House. We are picking up likely votes from among some of those members.

Call your State Representative and urge them to:

VOTE YES ON Senate Bill 776.

STOP PARTIAL BIRTH ABORTION.

Especially If your State Representative is one of the following:Marc Corriveau, Andy Coulouris, Kate Ebli, Lee Gonzales, Richard Hammel, Gino Polidori, Richard LeBlanc, Matthew Gillard, Tim Melton, Shanelle Jackson, Bettie Scott, Virgil Smith

Our vote and our victory are within sight next week. One final push of lobbying and PRAYER should get us over the top.
