From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: RE: The fate of the planet is at stake Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2009 09:43:04 -0700 you are trying to TAX THE AIR I BREATHE with this legislation. CARBON is a needed element in the atmosphere. Plants need it to make oxygen so we can live. EVERY living thing is MADE of carbon, so taxing jus tone specie for ALL the world's breathing is not only wrong, outragous. Besides, the 'global warming' thing...that is caused PRIMARILY by the cycles of the Universe. And cutting down on MAN'S carbon use will only reduce the total carbon by .5%...SCREW YOU. instead fo TAXING EVERYONE, there MUST be a way to set limits that do NOT TAX breathers, but lower the emmissions of the major pollutors. Didn't we HAVE standards in place, at one time, that gave incentives for cleaning up the act, and fines for NOT. But taxing everyone...what about those of us that do NOT drive a car, or own a LARGE (several HUNDRED THOUSAND head) meat farm? Or those of us that do not own a MAJOR COALFIRING POWERPLANT?these seem to be your biggest targets, but you want to tax EVERYONE.

Urge the Senate to pass strong global warming legislation. Bob Fertik League of Conservation Voters Dear Friend, We're about to face the most important global warming vote in years in the Senate. The fate of our planet hangs in balance. The Senate must take action. Email your Senators today! In the coming weeks Senators will start debating global warming legislation that will determine the fate of our planet. But Big Oil and Dirty Coal, along with allies like Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, and Newt Gingrich, are ramping up their efforts to kill this legislation in the Senate. In the first two quarters of 2009, polluting industries have spent nearly $120 million to halt our progress. We urgently need your help to build support for this critical bill. Send a message to your Senators today asking them to support strong global warming legislation. In June, the House of Representatives took a huge step towards jump-starting our economy with clean energy jobs when it passed the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 (ACES). But, our victory has left Big Oil and other polluters feeling threatened so they’re using all their resources to sabotage our transition to a clean energy future and keep us dependent on more of the same failed energy policies of the past. At the same time, people like Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh and Newt Gingrich are using the media to spread misinformation about this bill. And, a lobbying firm tied to polluting interests posed as minority groups by sending forged letters to members of the House, asking them to oppose the energy bill! We must expose the campaign of Big Oil and their cohorts for the fraud that it is, and stop them in their tracks. That's why your Senators need to hear from constituents like you. Click here to write your Senators today and urge them to support even stronger global warming legislation. Thank you for helping us make sure the Senate passes the strongest bill possible and puts us on the path to a clean energy economy.
