A Center for Public Integrity analysis shows that, by the end of last year, more than 770 companies and interest groups had hired an estimated 2,340 lobbyists to influence federal policy on climate change. That's an increase of more than 300 percent in just five years, and means that Washington can now boast more than four climate lobbyists for every member of Congress.

Marg, I've always thought he was a lying sack of s**t from Day One.
Where's Benevolent Heretic? She always thought he was the greatest thing to come down the pike and would be changing the US for the good.
Hey, BH? What do you think of this ass-hat now? Been in office for five months and so far, has done a pretty darn good job at destroying the economy of the country. He should pace himself, he has three more years to go.

Pelosi needs to go we need to vote her out and this is not a political party thing this is an American emergency all of us.
She didn't have to use much to buy the votes she needed:
"Pelosi plied undecided members with chocolate-covered Dove bars in a series of small group meetings. White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel worked the phones, and administration officials whipped members at a White House luau Thursday night. "

I wonder where the money for those Dove bars and that frakin' luau came from?

I have actually searched everything I can regarding this bill in an attempt to debate those who support it.
The results?
No one supports it except ONE! just one little vlogger.!
This is really a pleasing detail I just observed. Not one single person I've seen besides him has supported it. Dozens and dozens of comments. 1 video to support it.
Here, have fun debating him if you'd like. I'm too tired.
His ignorace displeases me. Come comrades, debate him. Have a jolly battle of the keyboard and mind. no curses, no attacks. Not one drop of emotional, physical, or mental blood. Just peaceful civilized debate.

As for me? i find the arts and animations a good way to get an idea across.

How long does it usually take a pushed bill like this to get through the senate, and after that who actually decides how much taxes we really have to pay?
Or will that be another bill where they sneak even more crud through?
I'm glad I wrote in Ron Paul, at least he probably would have told us that they held a gun to his head to sign our future away.

But...but...but....Obama promised not to raise taxes on anyone making under $250,000 a year (unless you smoke).
Now if you turn on a light when you enter a room, or if you dare want to get something to eat....you will be taxed.
This cannot pass the Senate....contact them NOW!
