Grassfire Nation News Update: Carbon Tax And the EPA
5/13/2010
Dear Patriot,
This week, Senators Liebermann and Kerry are announcing their latest Cap and Trade Carbon Tax bill. But unless grassroots citizens act now, the debate could be over before it even begins.
Here's why.
As you may know, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in December ruled that CO2 is an "endangerment" pollutant, giving the agency authority to regulate CO2 -- regardless of what Congress does.
For months, President Obama has all-but threatened to use the EPA to bypass Congress and seize government control of the air we breathe -- especially if Congress could not pass Cap and Tax. That plan is just weeks away from full implementation through the EPA.
Without even a vote in Congress, Obama -- through the EPA -- is already moving quickly to put the energy sector of the economy under the government's control.
+ + Opportunity to stop the Obama-EPA power grab
Fortunately, certain members of Congress are challenging the aggressive encroachment of Obama's statist tentacles by introducing a resolution (SJ Res. 26) to disapprove the EPA's over-reaching actions. This resolution would block the EPA from imposing the Obama carbon scheme.
A vote must come by June 7 and is expected before Memorial Day, which means citizens have just a few weeks at most to let their voices be heard.

+ + Exposing Yet Another Political Power Grab
It is now clear that, whenever possible, the Obama administration and the Pelosi/Reid Congress will bypass public debate and even votes in Congress to implement their agenda.
They did it with healthcare and now they are doing it with the Carbon Tax scheme by expanding government authority through the EPA.
It's just another power grab -- and in their minds even better if it is all done in some bureaucrat's office far away from public scrutiny.
Well, Patriot, the jig is up, and it's not going to work.
Americans today are fed up with the political ploys, tactics and games being employed to grow government and shrink our individual freedom.
