Hampton,Va.(HFR:WASHINGTON)
A conservative, free-market advocacy group will begin airing ads this week pressing Senate Republicans and Democrats to vote against a bill that aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The Club for Growth wants to scuttle a bill by Sens. Joe Lieberman, an independent from Connecticut, and John Warner, R-Va., that the Senate is scheduled to begin debating next month. Despite the ad campaign, the bill seems to lack the votes needed to overcome a filibuster.
With $250,000 in radio and television spots, the Club for Growth is targeting Republican Sens. Elizabeth Dole of North Carolina and Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, and Democratic Sens. Robert Byrd and Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia and Max Baucus and Jon Tester of Montana. Dole, a co-sponsor of the bill, as well as Alexander, Baucus and Rockefeller face re-election this year.
"Congress is at it again," a television ad airing in Tennessee says. "This time they're pushing massive new taxes and regulation in the name of global warming. But let's ask ourselves, are the unproven benefits of legislation worth the major job losses, new taxes and increased energy costs that could result?
"Call Senator Lamar Alexander and tell him to vote no on the Lieberman-Warner climate bill. Tennesseans just can't afford another huge, costly government program."
All but the Montana ads will air Tuesday. Ads aimed at Tester and Baucus will air next week.
The proposed legislation calls for capping carbon dioxide emissions from power plants, transportation and industrial sources with a goal of reducing greenhouse gases by 71 percent by mid-century.

$4/gal gas isn’t high enough for these Senators? When are these fools going to learn? There is an anger building out across the country over energy prices and they seem to be totally clueless.
We need to figure out how we can spread this message to every state in the Union.
Mccain is all for this bill too.
If the Club-for-Growth really were a stand-up group they would go after McCain and his support for the Global Warming Scam in their ads.
Changes in the Sun’s Surface to Bring Next Climate Change
Today, Director of the SSRC, John Casey has reaffirmed earlier research he led that independently discovered the sun’s changes are the result of a family of cycles that bring about climate shifts from cold climate to warm and back again.
“We today confirm the recent announcement by NASA that there are historic and important changes taking place on the sun’s surface. This will have only one outcome - a new climate change is coming that will bring an extended period of deep cold to the planet. This is not however a unique event for the planet although it is critically important news to this and the next generations. It is but the normal sequence of alternating climate changes that has been going on for thousands of years. Further according to our research, this series of solar cycles are so predictable that they can be used to roughly forecast the next series of climate changes many decades in advance. I have verified the accuracy of these cycles’ behavior over the last 1,100 years relative to temperatures on Earth, to well over 90%.”
“We need to figure out how we can spread this message to every state in the Union.”
I plan to contribute to the Club for Growth - the group holding the senators feet to the fire.
I urge all the other freepers to do the same to stop this insanity. Economically, culturally and on the impact it would have on our freedoms this is an even bigger issue than the amnesty plan. We need to rise up and stop it like we did amnesty.
we cant win the election, I hope we can make a difference fighting them.
