“Taxation Without Representation” - Fight To Stop The RGGI Cap & Trade Tax

“Taxation Without Representation" - Cap & Trade in New York”

CLICK HERE TO SEND YOUR REPRESENTATIVES IN ALBANY A MESSAGE: STOP THE RGGI CAP & TRADE TAX NOW!

For the past three years, New York has participated in the RGGI Cap & Trade scheme without the authorization of the state Legislature! Already this Cap & Trade energy tax has cost New York businesses and ratepayers a staggering $327 MILLION!

Now it is up to you and me to fight back!

Americans for Prosperity will be educating citizens about this Cap & Trade scheme that threatens to drive our electricity rates through the roof and kill thousands of jobs across New York.

New Yorkers already pay the second highest electricity rates in the nation and we cannot afford this additional tax on our electricity bills!

CLICK HERE now to send a message to your representatives in Albany that you’ve had enough. Tell them it’s time to stand up for beleaguered taxpayers in New York and not to abdicate their role as your elected representative to the executive branch.
