Breakdown of the Vote
The Committee does not formally publish the actual Roll Call Vote for the H.R. 2454, but our sources on the Hill confirm the following list of "yea" votes in favor of imposing the cap and trade Carbon Tax:
[snip] We expect Waxman's bill to slowly work its way through the House toward a floor vote in late June or early July. So, in our assessment, with the bill limping out of committee grassroots citizens win Round One of this very important battle.

Carbon tax over Cap and Trade? Isn't that one in the same? Wrangle, another tax cheat leading the CT crowd....You have the names now take ACTION! Thanks!
If the Dems pass this, it could be the catalyst to force Texas to remove itself from the union.
It sounds unthinkable, but the consequences of this is so very bad, it is possible.
I personally want it all back and these cretin destroyed, but it is to be seen if that will happen.
My expectation is for the wheels to fly off this administration soon.
The American left has sucessfully voted to make the whole country “dead meat”.
Add an extra c to that!
Mary Bono has to go!
Rick Boucher is a sell-out. Congressman from a coal region and votes for this crap?!?!?!
I’ll go door-to-door on that one.
Big fricken ping to LA congressman Charlie Melancon (D) who did the right thing and voted NO on the Waxman bill. He was one of the key voters targeted by the grass roots organization. Our Baton Rouge Tea Party org passed out business cards with all the bill and contact information so people would call and email. Looks like it worked.
Cap-and-trade sounds pleasant in theory, but in practice it has been a failure. Europe has the largest cap-and-trade system in the world, and instead of leading to a decrease in emissions, Phase I, between 2005 and 2007, led to a 1.9 percent increase in greenhouse-gas emissions. What’s worse, electricity bills in much of Europe have substantially increased because of cap-and-trade policies.

Will India and China have a similar policy soon? /s
I hope all the idiots who voted for “change” because they somehow thot this administration was representing their interests get a clue and realize that they just got screwed yet again. Isn’t it being projected that Cap and Trade will add $3500 to energy costs of average family and $1300 to average cost of new cars. Coal industry (in addition to American auto industry) has been targeted and sunk.
Please pass an ugly tax. Waxman affected most.
Here’s how the cap & trade legislation will adversely impact our entire economy and standard of living:

Everyone needs to write to his or her congressmoron and say you don’t approve of cap & trade, which is based on pseudo science and will kill hundreds of thousands of jobs.
Environmental activist legislation will be a hot item for the foreseeable future. Once this is in place, they can cook the stats to show the global cooling is a result of their ‘valiant environmental efforts’
Make no mistake, this bill will pass......and I am glad.
In the wake of Obama’s landslide victory in November, the majority of the American perople that voted for “hope” and “change” deserve to be hit in the wallet, deserve to lose their jobs, deserve to lose their homes and deserve to lose their liberties.
I have already accepted the fact the America is dead. Now I want to see those who voted for it’s death lives in total ruins.
I agree. Let the stupid bastards that voted for him get what they deserve for a change. Let them reap what they sowed November 4, 2008.
I wanna see what happens when it hits the Senate. A lot more difficult to explain it to statewide constituents than to a small district.
