Charge Of The RINO’s On Cap and Trade

Washington’s 8th Congressional District Representative Dave Reichert was one of eight Republicans to vote for the Cap and Trade Bill yesterday.

The total cost of the bill is unknown.  Not a singe member of Congress read the bill before voting on it, yet it was pushed through for a vote without waiting for any public input.

Republicans attempted to introduce amendments that would have softened the mandates of the bill, when certain triggers occurred.  One proposal would have negated the effects of the bill when gasoline goes over $5 per gallon.  Another would have sidelined costly mandates when unemployment goes over 20%.

The proponents of this bill did not allow any amendments to make it better.  They did not allow the public to become aware of what was in it, or to make any feedback to their representatives about it.

A handful of turncoat Republicans helped to pass this bad bill.  However, 44 Democrats broke ranks with their party and opposed it.

This is a bad bill that will hurt our economy if it becomes law.  It is now going to the Senate for consideration.

I will update this blog with more information about why these regulations are so harmful in the next few days.

Thank you to all the Republicans and Democrats that voted against this economy wrecking legislation.  Shame on those who voted for it!
