Cap and Trade Senate Update, Rubio, Tea Parties

The infamous cap and trade bill will now be making its way onto the floor of the United States Senate, and it is up to us to call our Senators and stop this incomplete and inefficient piece of legislation from passing. Like in the U.S. House, numerous Republicans will possibly be voting for this piece of legislation. They include Senators McCain, Snowe, and Collins most likely, and possibly even more. I urge you to call their offices, and tell them to vote no on this current version of cap and trade.

Although America is in need of climate change reform, it can only be solved and be prosperous if the solution is market based, and does not make government more tyrannical than it already is. Why not legislation that encourages green businesses through tax cuts and less support to unions, who do anything but stimulate economic growth, and without killing the smokestack industries? America has some of the highest corporate tax rates in the world, and that needs to change immediately. After the battle on cap and trade and how to solve the crisis of climate change, we will have to again mobilize on saving America's health care industry, once again with market based solutions.

One of the candidates I'm supporting very strongly to help bring pragmatic, moderate, market based solutions to Washington is Florida's Marco Rubio. Marco's built up a really strong grassroots movement, and I hope more people join us in helping Marco get to the United States Senate. I wanted to post a terrific speech Marco gave to the Florida House. It will show why I'm so excited about Marco Rubio.



To finish up, I want to plug teapartyday.com. The grassroots movement is going to be crucial in bringing our party back, and the Tea Party movement is the collaboration between moderates and conservatives who all want fiscal responsibility in America.
