Cap-And-Trade: The Grand Canyon State avoids a big economic hole by suspending its participation in a multistate initiative to fight climate change. As climate fraud is exposed, economic reality sets in. Will California follow?
Not since King Canute have government officials engaged in an exercise as futile as in 2007, when seven U.S. states and four Canadian provinces got together to form something called the Western Regional Climate Action Initiative to reduce regional greenhouse gas emissions starting in 2012.
Leading the charge for the pact was California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who insisted, "We cannot wait for the United States government to get its act together on the environment." At the time he said the regional agreement "sets the stage for a regional cap-and-trade program which will provide a powerful framework for developing a national cap-and-trade program."
Since then, the nation has slid into a recession, and the only thing man-made about climate change has been the manipulated and manufactured claims that we are doomed if we don't act to fight it.
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, seeing which way the snow is blowing, has issued an executive order saying her state will suspend its participation in the emission-control plan or any program that could raise costs for businesses and consumers.

Good move AZ
Finger in the wind?
I would imagine McCain is deeply saddened.
GOOD!
Off topic a bit, but speaking of snow---it is highly likely that today, February 12 2010, there is snow on the ground in all 50 States. I wonder if that has ever happened before. Anybody?
McQueeg can kiss the fattest part of my lilly white...

Good for them.
There was no money left since they had to sell the Capitol building

Utah is fast on their tail..
Too bad, aRnie..
I imagine that ‘fighting climate change’ is much like shadow fighting. No one really wins but you can sure knock yourself out if you’re not careful!
Meanwhile Here in Michigan we’re going to cling to the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Accord if it kills us. We signed with Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Manitoba. It was signed in 07.
Indiana, Ohio and South Dakota signed on as “observers”.
Bravo!
Who cares
Not 57 States??

ATTENTION HAYWORTH SUPPORTERS: If you care about defeating McCain, I urge you to visit the above link. It’s a very easy load and worth it!
I have been informed that the McCain/Hayworth Primary will be on Aug 24. We have time to nail that turkey to the wall!
From what Fox news said today, NO.
Outstanding....
I can only hope they put the government employees into double wide trailers on the edge of town, and pay them minimum wage for the privilege of serving it's Arizona citizens.
Thanks Kaslin.
NY Times article:
Arizona Quits Western Cap-and-Trade Program
Not finding anything about it on their website...she kept claiming the market based cap and trade would create jobs and they kept asking how many...?
They told her that two professors at Cal State Sacramento had published a report that said the full California green program was going to kill a million jobs....she didn't like that but had no good answer.

Found it in their podcasts.....

Lindsey Graham will fly over soon to give AZ a piece of his SC (socialist/communist) mind.
You can nail him to the wall easily, but will be people of AZ ever know you did?
Well that is certainly an eye opener more than was aware....he really is a Democrate on all the issues which matter to me....I am thinking he gets bought...a political whore?
Easy reading list..thanks for posting it.
I’ve helped campaigns in the past with my opposition reasearch. There was a Texas senate race. I remember researching Kirk. Texans helped spread the info I gathered.
Each year, people are learning better ways to use the internet to help their candidate. But the information needs to be available. There needs to be a go-to place. My beating the grass, I ran into DoughtyOne. Looks to me that he is already way ahead on a good file for McCain research.
I don’t know if McCain is bought. He’s not huring for money. Blackmailed? Maybe. I personally think he just doesn’t respect his own assumptions and thinks too highly of the intelligencia [all indoctrinated by IV league colleges].
You’re probably right...I just cannot get past how he plays himself out there...I’m at the point where anyone could say anything durogatory about him and I’d believe it!
BTW, it’s DoughtyOne’s page. I agree, awsome!
Hey Arthur...reading your home page is like a tour of FR...lots to see, interesting reads and comments...never a dull moment.
Yea Gov Brewer!!!!
Wow, great list!
Thanks. =]
Yes. Due to the hard work of some FReepers, one being DoughtyOne. FRegards ....
K.Canute D. Calif.
EXCELLENT
Utah and Arizona tell the emperor he has no clothes
Batman McCain’s boy Robin “Linsey” Graham is deeply saddened
Yeah, its only 72 degrees here ;-)
Don’t forget McCain’s own CAP AND TRADE bill he introduced years ago.
Amen to that! Hayworth is the wizard of smart in this race. McCainiac’s pointed hat is for the kid in the corner.

Also included: Senator Rockefeller said, Obamas beginning to not be believable to me.
Yes, I know this initiative only seeks a "suspension" of the stupid law, but the avalanche of proof of massive "global warming" fraud can never be swept under the rug. Only a musclebound-brain governor can fail to see that.
Repeal of the law is the only rational thing to do.
I thought I was the only one that ever read Article 1, Section 10 of the US Constitution.
