Stop Senate Vote Of Cap And Trade Without Full EPA Cost Analysis!

URGENT calls to Senator Cardin (202) 224-4524

SOON MARYLAND 5th HIGHEST ELECTRICITY RATES IN U.S.

Senator Cardin is a member of Senator Boxer's committee that will vote on Cap and Trade this WEEK.
Senator Boxer wants to force a VOTE without full EPA cost analysis!!

Maryland will rank as #5 in highest electricity cost per household(see chart)
Congratulations Maryland !! #5 in the country!

Barbara Boxer is trying to pull a fast one!

She wants to force her outrageous Boxer-Kerry cap-and-trade energy rationing and taxing scheme through the Senate Environment and Public Workers Committee this week, while the country is focused on health care. Sen. Boxer is even trying to force it through without the official EPA analysis of what's in the bill and how much it will cost.

It's bad enough to try to pass the biggest tax hike in history, hidden in what's supposed to be an environmental bill. But slamming it through a committee when it hasn't even been analyzed by the EPA is wrong. The public has a right to know what's in the bill and what the EPA thinks it will cost.

Committee votes matter, because once a senator supports something in committee it's very hard for them to change their mind on later votes. That makes it even more outrageous that the first votes could be cast while much of the bill-and its sky-high costs for regular Americans-remain secret.

Call Senator Ben Cardin and tell them no mark-up without a full EPA analysis, and that even with everything else going on, you know how important cap-and-trade is and you are paying attention.

These people don't need the cost analysis because they don't make any decisions.

They are told what to do by the people who chose them to be congress members.

They are puppets.

This vote was to be Thursday or Friday. Guess the power thrill proved too much?
Or retribution for loosing two governorships?
