These 8 will cause 300,000,000 great financial pain during the worst Recession since the Great Depression. A link has been added to their web sites, so you can write them and leave four words:
2454: "SHAME ON YOU"
You may have to call, because for some of them, unless you are in their district, they do not take emails from you. These RINO'S will be added to the list with Spectre, Snowe, and Collins of Republicans that must be defeated, and I pledge my support to defeating them. If you are with me, please comment on this link. The bill passed 219-212. If these Republicans would have stood firm, then it would not have passed. I also give credit to the 44 Democrats that voted no on this bill.
Also as a reminder: The two Republicans who didn’t vote: Jeff Flake (AZ) and John Sullivan (OK). the full roll call vote is here.
The Congressional Budget Office estimated the bill would cost the average household in America around $175 a year, the EPA $80 to $110 a year. Well, we know how Government estimations equal out to how things actually become. Republicans on the other hand questioned the validity of the CBO study and noted that analysis showed actual energy production costs increasing by $770 per household. Industry groups outside the Government sphere of influence have cited other studies showing much higher costs to the economy and to individuals.

Here are some facts:
1). Reduce aggregate gross domestic product (GDP) by $9.6 trillion
2). Destroy an average of 1-3 million jobs, every year
3). Raise electricity rates 90 percent after adjusting for inflation
4). Raise inflation-adjusted gasoline prices by 74 percent
5). Raise residential natural gas prices by 55 percent
6). Raise an average family's annual energy bill by $1,500 annually
7). Increase the federal debt by 26 percent, which is $29,150 per person
Here is a list of the 44 Democrats that voted no on this bill. Yet I can bet that most of them are having trouble with possible reelections in their hometowns, so I will make a bet that Raum Emanuel visited them, and said, "We have the votes, vote no so you can go home and tell your people you were against Cap and Trade." But, here they are:
