Washington , D.C. is an endlessly frustrating place isn't it?

President Obama continues to tell us he "only" wants to raise taxes on "the rich" -- whatever that actually means.

Then he calls for massive new energy taxes through his "Cap and Trade" scheme that will dramatically increase the cost of gasoline for our automobiles for every American while also increasing home energy costs by thousands of dollars for American families and small businesses. All this, in the name of Global Warming.

Right now, the Energy and Commerce Committee is getting ready to vote on a cap-and-trade tax and I’m asking you to send your Congressman a message to vote NO on the current cap-and-trade scheme in the Energy and Commerce Committee.

Thanks to folks like you, we’ve already raised just over $67,000 in order to keep the Hot Air Tour going and keep turning up the heat on elected officials through radio ads, telephone calls, and old-fashioned door-to-door canvassing The generous support of our more than 500,000 members will guarantee that we continue to draw crowds of fired up grassroots activists at our next stops coming up in Missouri, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Louisiana.

You stood with us earlier this year when Americans for Prosperity took on the Obama/Pelosi/Reid trillion dollar "Stimulus" bill. Over 465,000 Americans signed our petition and sent a powerful message to the President and his friends on Capitol Hill. You've been a partner in opposing Card Check legislation that would end the secret ballot for American workers when deciding on whether or not to unionize their workplace. You joined us at Tea Parties across this nation and you've been right here with us fighting the "Cap and Trade" scheme that will raise energy taxes and kill jobs.

Soon, I'm going to ask you to stand with us again to stop yet another big-government power grab by the Obama/Pelosi/Reid machine. I'm going to ask you to help stop this new health care program that will hurt patients by increasing lines and waits for treatments, putting government between you and your doctor and deny medical procedures based on age or chronic illnesses. More information is coming about this major battle, but I wanted to give you the heads-up today that this battle is on the horizon

But, at this moment you and I need to concentrate on cap-and-trade --- the battle happening right now . Please tell your Congressman to vote NO on this tax on American businesses, consumers and all forms of energy.
