The Recovering Liberal

Congress Votes to Raise Energy Costs on American Families this Week!	Take Action!


On Friday, June 26, your Representatives will vote to raise your utility bill by at least $4,600 per year! The "Waxman-Markey Clean Energy Bill" will limit American energy production, decrease American jobs, and increase the cost that you and your family pay every time you fill up your vehicle. Don't let them pass this bill! While liberals claim they want to "help the environment" and help consumers cope with rising energy costs, the Waxman-Markey energy bill will only increase taxes. This bill includes a provision to create a "cap-and-trade" program - a tax on all factories and every American who turns on a light - which would result in an extra $4,600 annual tax on every American family and the loss of nearly 800,000 jobs per year. The Waxman-Markey bill takes away your consumer choice by mandating more expensive, "energy efficient" manufactured homes, appliances, and transportation. Make no mistake, contact your Representatives today and tell them to oppose the Waxman-Markey Clean Energy Bill and to protect American energy and American jobs!
