James Madison 4th President of the USA

“I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.” Virginia Convention on the ratification of the Constitution—June 6, 1788 (Elliot’s Debates, volume 3, p. 87)

Cap and Trade Vote and RINO's

Cap and Trade passes by six. Fifty Democrats had the courage to vote no on this nonsense. Eight Republicans didn't. Among them was Dave Reichert. Had the eight Republicans voted no it would not have passed. Doc voted against it.
Luckily, it seems to be unable to pass the Senate. (well as of right now- who knows what could happen in the next two months.)

“Never have so few stolen so much from so many to achieve so little.”

Of course what was actually in the Cap and Trade Bill, said to involve something about cutting back on the production of greenhouse gasses, was beside the point. It has been mentioned before that Cap and Trade is, for all intents and purposes, a tax on energy that will cost every American thousands of dollars once it is fully implemented. And on top of that, Cap and Trade has trade provisions of the like that has not been seen since Smoot Hawley.
