EPA Vote: Who wants to be a U. S. Senator?

Published: 9:12 AM 03/16/2011

The U.S. Constitution is crystal clear on where legislative power resides. In fact, it’s the very first thing after the preamble. Article I, Section 1 says: “All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.” But in the Age of Obama, it’s a different story. The legislative powers are being exercised by unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats. Now the Senate will be put to the test of whether each senator is OK with that state of affairs, or whether they actually want to take responsibility for writing the laws. That’s the fundamental question at stake as the Senate considers the McConnell Amendment to stop the EPA’s global warming power grab.

Read the rest at Daily Caller.

Take Action! Call your Senators at 202-224-3121 and tell them to vote YES on the McConnell Amendment or go here to send an email!

Third Leg of Regulation Reality Tour Wraps Up in Indiana

Yesterday we wrapped up the third leg of the Regulation Reality Tour in Evansville, Indianapolis, and Fort Wayne, Indiana. Hundreds of activists from across the state braved the rain to send a message to Senator Evan Bayh. They are demanding he vote YES on the Murkowski Resolution to stop the EPA’s attempt to implement cap-and-trade regulations without a vote of Congress.

For more information on the upcoming vote in the Senate on the Murkowski Resolution to stop the job killing EPA regulations click here.

Senator Kerry and Senator Lieberman have re-introduced cap-and-trade trade this week so we need to be ready to keep the pressure on our elected officials to stop this job killing, tax increasing legislation on two fronts.

We’ll be in Pennsylvania on Friday to educate citizens about the dangerous economic consequences of the new cap-and-trade legislation in the Senate. For more information visit http://CostofHotAir.com.
