Will post all contact information for senate.
Thank you. A similar letter needs to go to Sen McCain and other Republican senators.
Can you just modify your letter and send them.....A few changes should solve the problem. Cut and paste is your friend.
Sent to Sen McConnell, Minority Leader in the Senate:
Dear Sen McConnell:
As an Illinois Republican, I have few avenues to vent my frustration. Please accept this letter in support of your efforts to stop the Cap-and-Tax debacle legislation and get the truth out about man-made global warming (junk science) and the dangers of CO2 (a necessary gas, not a pollutant).
The following was sent to Sen Dick Durbin this morning via his webpage-email link:
Dear Senator Durbin:
You were kind enough to send me your views on global warming, climate change, and cap-and-trade.
After the very close vote in the House yesterday on cap-and-trade, several documents were revealed that need to be considered prior to any action on your part in the Senate. It seems that when any of these things are discussed, the argument deteriorates to name-calling, especially the term "flat earther". Well, call me what you will, but the scientific facts simply do not support the Al Gore/Leonardo DiCaprio populist theories based on non-scientific "consensus". The legislation passed in the House does not even address nuclear power, a clean resource that needs to be part of our energy independence.
Three documents came out VERY late in the game on this debate:
1) A 300+ page "manager's amendment" that was added to the bill at 3:09am the day of the House vote. Not only was this a voluminous add-on, it is a scary document. If you support it, and I hope you do not, please let me know how local governments will be able to afford the extra staff to enforce the new and very confusing laws. The bill also radically modifies international trade rules.
2) A suppressed and censored report from our own EPA exposes many problems with the theories and "consensus" of the populist (and now debunked) theory of global warming, and the true (and minimal) affect of human activity on the climate. The suppressed EPA report is linked here:
http://cei.org/news-release/2009/06/25/cei-releases-global-warming-study-censored-epa
(NOTE TO SEN MCCONNELL: THIS CALLS FOR AN INVESTIGATION ASAP!!!)
3) A report from the Chicago-based Heartland Institute summarized the Non-Governmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC) that attempts to use scientific and rational arguments to identify exactly what is going on in the climate and the true impact of human activity. The recently released NIPCC report is found here:
http://www.sepp.org/publications/NIPCC_final.pdf
The previous letter you sent me contains seemingly factual statements that now appear to be patently false regarding wild temperature increases in the next ten years.
Although these "facts" are wrong, the underlying research found in the suppressed EPA report, and the NIPCC report will help you politically. Why? Because the laws you are about to impose on us, if passed, will do NOTHING to improve the climate or greenhouse gases and will not change the global average temperatures, but, you WILL be able to show "progress" because the falsely increasing temperatures will NOT happen anyway - allowing you to take the credit for keeping the planet cool. It is a perfectly contrived crisis so that radical redistribution of wealth can occur on a global scale.
Now, I realize as a leader in the Senate, you will probably not be able to back off for even one second to look at the facts, and I understand that. But I felt I owed it to myself, my children, and my future grandchildren, that I did not sit idly by while, during the great recession of 2009, with the highest unemployment in my lifetime, I sat silent while this legislation was passed.
This law, and the concept of cap-and-trade, is not going to work, is not needed, and will do more harm to our already crippled economy.
All I ask is that you take an honest look at the three documents above, keep an open mind to the facts, and consider what you are doing to this and future generations.
We need a change in energy policy, but this is not one of them.
Sincerely and respectfully, NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
+++++++++++++
Please do what you can to stop this mess, or to steal a phrase from Sen Harkin, a "dung heap".
Sincerely,
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
Dear Senator McCain:
While you may have a different view on climate change or global warming, I hope you will take the time to look at the following letter sent to both Sen McConnell and Sen Durbin.
I am strongly opposed to ANY Cap-and-Trade solution, and we need an "all of the above", realistic energy plan, not based on mythical technology, and unrealistic expectations. You cannot legislate the invention of magical technology and completely discount nuclear, clean coal, and oil independence UNTIL new technologies become marketable.

Thanks That should make sending a letter even easier for those who say they have little time.

Oops that’s senate. Do you want the house also?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Thank you for taking the time to contact me. I appreciate the opportunity to hear from you.
Due to the large volume of mail I receive, I regret that I am only able to respond personally to inquiries from South Carolinians.
As we continue our work in the 111th Congress, I look forward to supporting our troops in the War on Terror, repairing our economy and creating jobs, strengthening Social Security, lowering the tax burden on American families, and making the federal government more accountable and efficient.
If your correspondence pertains to a scheduling request, please fax your request to (202) 224-3808.
Sincerely,
Lindsey Graham

I am copying you since I thought you should hear my opinions as this issue will come to you attention soon.
This is bad for Illinois, bad for Illinois coal industry, and bad for petro-businesses in Illinois. It is especially bad for local government officials who will need to enforce the restrictive, confusing, and costly building ordinances.
The hiding of the EPA report needs to be investigated ASAP, and I hope you join others to find out why the fundamental facts, counter to the political desires, were suppressed.
Sincerely and respectfully,
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
Thank you very much for your response.
Actually, given the fact I still hunt and peck on the keyboard {;^) - I hope to find a list of the email addresses for each member of the Senate and House of Reps.
A list in a nice, neat, cut and paste format.
Thank you very much for contacting my office to express your views. I will take your opinions and concerns into consideration as we debate these issues in the United States Senate and address challenges facing Illinois and the nation.
The constituents of Illinois are of the utmost importance to me, and it is an honor to work on your behalf by representing you in the United States Senate.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact my Washington, DC office. Again, thank you and I am honored to serve you in the United States Senate.
Sincerely,
Roland W. Burris
United States Senator

Yeah sure, now I feel SO much better....
Have you ever seen the Chicago collection?
Here:

From some of the posts: Burris received $5,000/month from Loop Enterprises which was run by MO’s brother Craig Robinson, which was involved in a pay for play in Philadelphia etc etc etc.
Unpeal that Onion an get to the center....
Thank you for putting together the contact information. Although I know that my Alabama senators will vote no, I went ahead and contacted them. With the dems now having 60 votes, I am no longer confident that this horrible bill will not pass. I also went ahead and begged them not to vote for the health care bill that will likely be there soon. :( How in the world are we going to get through the next 2 - 4 years!!!
Find the BC ;~)
BC? Birth certificate? I have a feeling that’s already been destroyed and taken care of. I would never have thought that I would ever wish to have Bill Clinton as President again, but there are days when I think he was so much better! Of course he was better because of the republican controlled house and eventually senate. This guy has nothing holding him back and it’s scary!
Thanks for the information, will keep it on the SENATE CONTACT THREAD.
