I will never purchase a new automobile.
Lost of revenue to the Auto, Finance and Insurance industries.
I will not travel outside my city on vacation for next several years.
Lost of revenue to the Travel Agents, Airlines, Hotels and Vacation Destinations industries.
I will reduce my utility consumption.
Lost of revenue to the Electric, Natural Gas and City Water, Sewer industries.
I will reduce my entertainment
Lost of revenue to the Hollywood, Restaurant, Concert and Sports industries.
I’m going to ask 10 of my friends to reduce their spending by 15 percent and encourage them to ask 10 of their friends to do the same.

I am a register VOTER and a member of the Tea Party
I will work toward unseating any politicians regardless of party affiliation who votes for any type of CO2 regulation.
