It is important at this point and time not to take the elected representatives who are actually representing our wishes for granted. If your Representative voted No on the Cap and Trade issue take a minute to thank him / her. Do you know how yoru congressman congresswoman voted?



Last week we had an unbelievably tight, down-to-the-wire fight in the U.S. House of Representatives over the massive Waxman-Markey cap-and-trade energy tax bill, the largest tax hike in American history and an unprecedented intrusion of the federal government into our economy and our lives.

Thank you so much for everything you did to give the side of economic sanity a fighting chance. Your calls and emails made a huge difference, and AFP members like you were clearly one of the driving forces last week.

We weren’t quiet able to win in the House, but we’re confident that if we can keep educating and mobilizing regular common-sense Americans, we can beat this disastrous bill in the Senate.

Right now I need you to do one more favor on the House vote. I’m emailing you because your Congressman is one of the 44 Democrats who stood up to intense pressure from Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama. View the full list here.

Your Congressman put principle over party and voted no on Waxman-Markey, and deserves our thanks.

After all, if we bash them when they do the wrong thing, we ought to give them credit when they do the right thing. And we need to make very clear that we are paying close attention to these votes, which will give us more clout in the Senate fight to come.
