Cap and Trade or Capture and Enslave?

Dear Senator ****,

We it looks as if the question of party loyalty is about to be called into play once again. After reading about the carbon-cap plan and how democratic senators from the central and southern states will hold sway, I wondered who would win out, the Democratic Party or the Nebraska citizens that you represent?

Cap and Trade could better be called capture and Enslave because that is what it will be doing to the citizens of America. It will be another hidden or not so hidden tax upon the American Public. What has happened is that the government has reached the limits of openly taxing it’s citizens and is moving towards another way to reach into the tax payer’s pockets. It began with sales taxes, the excise fees and user fees.

Now they want to tax carbon use under the pretense that it will make our air quality clean. We haven’t been able to build a wall on our northern border to keep the frigid winter air out, how are we going to keep the pollution from countries like China, that won’t be using cap and trade from riding in on the jet stream?

President Obama stated that he wanted to let science take its place in the global warming/climate change debate. It’s time that he starts listening to the hundreds and thousands of qualified scientists who discount mane made climate change.

Why is it great for France to have 75% or more of its electricity coming from nuclear power and yet nuclear power isn’t part of the proposed Democratic Party’s solution? When will the new drilling for clean burning gas off of our coast begin? Why isn’t this part of the DNC’s plan to reduce carbon emissions?

Is it because those options don’t allow the federal government to reach as deep into our pockets?

Sincerely,

I sent this to both of my US Senators. The only thing that they fear more than the call for party loyalty is an angry mob of citizens. If you are against the cap and trade of carbon then you need to write your senator too.
