From The Club for Growth:

In a surprise move, Nancy Pelosi and the House Democrats have called for a floor vote on the dangerous, anti-growth “cap and tax” climate bill tomorrow.

As you’ve probably heard, this is one big, ugly proposal. It would require businesses to obtain government-issued ration coupons before they could emit greenhouse gases. If they emit above the level of their credits, they get taxed and pass the massive costs along to consumers.

It would create numerous regulations and spending programs and result in higher energy prices, gas prices, food prices, and unemployment. In our key vote alert to all House members, we cited a Heritage Foundation report that said the direct and indirect taxes created by this bill would approach almost $3,000 a year for a family of four. And real GDP losses would equal more than $9 trillion.

Please call your representative today and urge them to vote NO on the Waxman-Markey energy tax bill. You can reach them by dialing the Capitol Hill switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and asking for your representative. If you have time, please consider calling these House members as well (especially if they are in your state). They are Republicans believed to be undecided and facing intense pressure from environmental activists to support the bill.

Vern Buchanan (FL-13): 202-225-5015
