House to continue Energy Bill Debate with Possible Vote Today
Later today, the House will continue general debate on the American Clean Energy & Security Act, Pres. Obama's climate change legislation. The bill centers on a renewable electicity standard, encouraging the use of renewable energy and a cap-and-trade policy.

Congress should start getting real about this bill and other bills. What they are missing is Obama is a liar. He has already started to kill Congress and the MSM. For example, by not allowing the Republicans to participate and some of the MSM being banned.
They should ask themselves this one question. What’s to stop him from excluding his fellow Democrats on future things. It will happen. I have never seen it to fail if they go down this path. Regardless of what the people want; etc; this is about Congress ability to have a say and they absolutely won’t if Obama gets his way. I can pretty much guarantee that.
Any “Republican” who votes for this bill should be targeted for termination in 2010.
I’m listening to a nut from California Louis Capps. We are breathing CO2 right now. Tell me how it hurts health?
Side bar moderator is missing in action...did yo see the thread?
Looks like debate is scheduled to end at 3:45 EDT. Anyone who understands Congressional procedure better than me know if it’s likely to go to a vote then?
Called his office yesterday to confirm.
Senator Casey’s office told me vote is not taking place today.
Spoke with staffer for Jim Gerlach (PA) - says he’s voting against it.
Ginny Brown Waite (FL) - VOTING NO!!!!
Ginny Brown Waite (FL) - VOTING NO!!!!
How would Sen. Casey know? He is in the Senate and the vote is in the House.
I also didn't see a LIVE THREAD DISCUSSION on the sidebars or under breaking news...thus my thread.
All I see now is:
Cap and Trade = Predatory Taxation
The Cap-And-Trade Bill Is An Economic Disaster
Cap and trade vote today, complete with AP spin; Update: 300-page, last-minute amendment
House Democrats win key test vote on climate bill
Anyways, IMHO, this is the most ominus and important bill since the Kenyan got in office.
As I sit here in Houston, I’m watching the Port of Houston’s representative, Gene Green, rising in support of the bill while giving plenty of reasons why this bill will destroy jobs in his own district. Instead of opposing it, he wants to start a trade war which will probably destroy even more jobs. Where do we get these people?
Well, when you talk to those legislators, find out if they’ve seen this video documentary. If they haven’t they shouldn’t be voting on the bill... :-)
It’s one thing to gripe and complain about these things and disagree with it, but it’s quite *another* to convince your friends and neighbors and relatives and coworkers...
THEREFORE..., it’s also absolutely necessary for people to know the information in the following documentary. If there were simply *one* video that you could see and/or show people you know... this would be the *one*...
The following is an *excellent* video documentary on the so-called “Global Warming” I would recommend it to all FReepers. It’s a very well-made documentary.

John Linder No Vote R-GA
There are at least five threads currently up dealing with the subject ....all are active...
So folks ARE getting involved....We could probably use a couple more when it finally comes to a vote at about 5:00 PM. Esstern
Lots of folks calling and progress seems to be being made.
A search on “cap and trade” would have produced:
