A friend of our campaign just forwarded a remarkable email to us. It was from Al Gore. The email from the former Vice President was a financial appeal to Barbara Boxer’s supporters.
Al Gore says this about Chuck DeVore: “Assemblyman Chuck DeVore, is already campaigning hard across California. He voted against AB 32, the landmark global warming legislation…”
Al Gore is right, Chuck DeVore voted against AB 32 – and debated against it – and fought tooth and nail against its implementation every step of the way. Because, unlike Al Gore, Chuck DeVore understands that neither California, nor America, can solve a global issue on the backs of hard working Americans.
California’s AB 32 is one big reason why Forbes ranked California as having the worst tax and regulatory climate in America – we’re 50th. And, with 12.2% unemployment, the 4th highest in the nation, Californians are suffering under a foolish energy policy while China proceeds to build 100 coal-fired power plants per year AS WELL AS several modern nuclear power plants too. It’s a fact: we can completely shut California down in the name of global warming and ONE YEAR’S worth of economic growth in China would wipe out any supposed benefit.
Al Gore says that he and Boxer “had many chances to team up… on the climate crisis in her role as a tireless environmental advocate… She's been a vital leader in our efforts to stop global warming, even when it wasn't a popular position, and I can't thank her enough for everything she's done.”
The fact is that Boxer is trying to “solve” what she calls a climate “crisis” with a $2,000 per year tax on working families, rather than with a logical plan to build modern nuclear power plants while increasing other cost-effective sources of domestic energy. Boxer’s “solution” will only drive more American jobs overseas to coal-fired China, reducing American greenhouse gas emissions by eliminating American jobs.
California has already done this with AB 32 and it is not working – not for the environment and most importantly not for hard working Californians. We must stop what the Saturday Los Angeles Times quoted Chuck DeVore as saying was “a gigantic mistake” from spreading to the rest of America through Boxer’s cap-and-trade energy tax bill.
OK, I just dropped a hundred on him......
Thank you!
That fat “pant-load” Al Gore was out here in NJ last week trying to resuscitate the dead campaign of Jon Corzine. Al gave a speech that had every cliche ever used by a dumb ass politician. Yes, he used the 24/7/365 cliche, the fighting for children and on and on. Lerch was just going through the motions. I have seen more enthusiasm from a Harry Reid rally.
Corzine is toast!
Shut up Algore!
I sure wish Glen Beck would study the relationship between the Gore family and Armand Hammer. That family was made by money from one of the vilest meddlesome millionaires who ever lived.
“one of the vilest meddlesome millionaires who ever lived.”
Not as vile or as rich as Al Gore plans to be selling carbon credits.
