Ending some nine months of closed-door deliberations, Sens. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) and John Kerry (D-Mass.) will release global warming legislation Wednesday that they hope will be the vehicle for broader Senate negotiations and an eventual conference with the House.
The bill's authors said last week that they expect to start hearings early next month on the bill, with a markup in Boxer's Environment and Public Works Committee to follow soon thereafter. They also acknowledged that their legislation is just a "starting point" in a bid to win over moderate and conservative Democrats, as well as Republicans.
"I hope what we've done is constructive and well-received," Kerry, the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, said Thursday. "I have no pretensions, and neither does Barbara, that this will be the final product. It is a starting point, a commitment, full-fledged, across party lines to do what we need to do to protect the planet for the next century."

If its got Boxers fingerprints on it were screwed!
Oh well, at least the fish will be happy...
For time in office these must be the two most unaccomplished senators.
Let's hope they have at least one more in them...
Someone needs to let this Boxer out, before she leaves us with another mess to clean up.
My God, can this communism ever be stopped?
exactly... here we go. We all remember the article that they would try to secret slide this in for a win.
its like cancer. you have to remove ALL of it.
As long as these clowns insist they can legislate the laws of physics, how about introducing a “gravity bill” which could easily have a more significant impact on transportation energy requirements?
Now all we need is to put these two in positions of influence and give them the power to make laws regarding fantasy environmental doomsday scenarious that will ruin our economy. ....Oh wait, mission accomplished.
Not to mention millions of miles of transmission lines, that will clutter up the horizon. When real and extremely efficient Nuclear and Coal plants would produce 1000 times the power with less than half a percent of the land area that wind and solar will use. Not to mention the massive maintenance costs and gross inefficiency of wind and solar. Any Republican who thinks this is going to save anything, needs to be run out of office for life.
hahahaha!
They are insane. Does Zero’s healthcare bill cover shrinks?
It's all about power & control and the elimination of individual freedom. Forever.

100% correctamundo !
Don’t look now, but the patient’s dead. Let’s bury it....
and move on. (and you can take that any way you want)
This in my opinion is the worst of all. Yes even worse than Health care...this bill is LITERALLY pouring money down the drain...all of our money of course.
OK, folks...let’s let our senatorial dildos know what we think about this: phone calls. emails, snail mail—the works.
They’ve got to know that we haven’t forgotten about this scam!
“Dumb” & “Dumber” (the titles are easily interchangeable).
How’s that windfarm coming along off the Mass. coast, Senator??????
Yeah Babas Boxer who as a favor to Chevron had the govt pass a bill to make the EPA force MTBE into our gas tanks and drinking water ——thanks Babs you’re such a scientifically educated sweet heart
Two intellectual giants from the Senate introducing a climate bill. Insanity is running amok in Congress.
Two of the biggest dunces in high political office.
Just think of all the money that these two bimbos have cost us on stupid legislation meant to “help people.”
Lots and lots of $$$$.
If they went home and remained there, no one would know the difference(except their staffs).
This is the money bill for Socialized med. Don’t kid yourself...
We really need to try to slip that in a bill to make them look even stupider than they are.
I slept very well that night.
I am starting to wonder if it will be worthwhile to continue working? I mean..once our taxes go up for climate bills, healthcare, etc., what will I have left?
Boxer and Kerry are just throwing a bone to the moonbats for fundraising purposes.
HR 2454

It barely passed the House
http://www.govtrack.us/congress/vote.xpd?vote=h2009-477
With a combined IQ equal roughly to the average shoe size, this ought to be some legislation.
Excuse me for being a sexist pig, but I swear the only reason Boxer, Fienstein and Pelosi are in the positions they are in so their Husbands could get rid of them and out of their hair. They were loaded, but rather than get taken to the cleaners via divorce, it was cheaper to get them to run for office.
Something tells me their spouses would have to enbrace the same politics.
The Kerry’s have a tie to the Tides Center, which has ties to ACORN and SEIU and funnels funds into most of the big environmental groups: Earth Day Network; Earth Island Institute; Earthjustice; Environmental Defense; Environmental Media Services; the Environmental Working Group;the National Wildlife Federation; the Natural Resources Defense Council; the Nature Conservancy (of California and of New York); the Sierra Club; the Union of Concerned Scientists; Waterkeeper Alliance; the Wilderness Society; and the World Wildlife Fund.

Makes you mull over how Global Warming is being used to accomplish redistribution and other goals.
2 of the dumbest people God ever created.
Kerry: “ I have no pretensions”
If that is true, I am a virgin.
Didn’t John Kerry serve in Vietnam?
And pay to have them elected.
And Gore gets a massive loan from our government to build cars in Europe which people here cannot afford?
When is America going to step up to the plate with a shotgun and say,,,ENOUGH ALREADY?
THE problem is that they have voters who support this psychotic behavior.
sometimes truth is stranger than fiction huh?
D O A
Let them pass it on party lines.
Make them FORCE it on America.
There are elections coming.
