The Absurdity of Cap and Trade

I am grateful to be once again employed in the industry I have enjoyed for many years. My imposed 6-month "vacation" was certainly not a chosen path. Our country is going crazy. An Administration drunk with power is spending at unimaginable rates, imposing government will on private industry, pandering to big labor whenever possible, using fear to destroy free enterprise within healthcare, relying on questionable science to create an energy policy of disasterous proportion, using "Czars" to to usurp the duties of Congress.........and the most laughable occurance to date - Al Franken is a U.S. Senator, giving the Dems a super majority in Congress. We must derail these un-Constitutional maneuvers. A brief espression of my disgust is shown here.

Stand Up for our Country. God Bless America.

Below is the letter sent to both U.S Senators from my state this evening.

Opinion – The Absurdity of Cap and Trade

In no uncertain terms, I want you to know that the Cap and Trade legislation is a catastrophe waiting to happen. Scientists around the world are seriously questioning the existence of "man made" global warming and resultant CO2 levels. Yet, you and the Leftists in Congress continue with your obsession regarding this matter. Your radical approach to the environment belies the fact that incremental improvements in individual consumption will greatly benefit this country.

The energy cap and trade regulations would kill our economy for years to come. The President's friend at GE, Jeffery Immelt, is already ready to broker carbon credits to the tune of billions of taxpayer dollars. Rationing, oppressive regulations, continued intrusion into the life of the individual is a dramatic and radical departure from the essence of our Constitution. Modeling any policy after California is a joke. The state is broke and dysfunctional by any reasonable definition.

It is clearly impossible for any Democrat in Congress to break ranks with the President, fearing brutal political retribution. Multiple Czars appointed by Obama are already usurping the functions of Congress, again violating the balance of powers in that pesky Constitution.

I have no hope that you will stand against this tyranny. Be on notice that there is a limit to how much of this absurd behavior the American people will tolerate from our elected officials. I am deeply concerned for the very existence of our country and have no expectation that you will represent the will of the people.
