I have decided to leave my Patriotic music up in running and will do so until our Presidential Election. As morale for the American Public is slightly low, I wanted something to help us reflect on what our Founding Fathers based this country on so many years ago. My decision won't be based on words freely spoke, but on actions that deserve my vote. I will vote based on the Love of my country as well as it's people and for those who freely fight to keep me safe. While I don't enjoy war with anyone, including the innocent, I also want to be sure those who are fighting for my freedom and their families are kept safe. Thats where my vote and that of other Americans is most important. Please Join me in prayer for my country as we embark on hard decisions and fight for the freedoms and privledges set by our Founding Fathers and fought so bravely over the years by American Soldiers. I pray also for friends and family of other soldiers from other countries who also fight for the freedoms of their countries. In God may we ALL trust! Love to each and every one of you no matter what country your from. ~Rebekah

Right now, the Senate is considering “cap-and-trade” energy legislation that will attempt to limit greenhouse gas emissions, principally carbon dioxide, and establish a trading system for emissions allowances. But in reality, this legislation will place severe regulatory burdens on domestic industry, impede trade, and harm our nation’s economy.
Introduced by Sens. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) and John Warner (R-Va.), the Climate Security Act is nothing more than a hidden tax that would raise costs on energy use by $1.2 trillion by 2018! These higher costs would severely undermine the nation’s ability to attract business and capital, while at the same time draining household budgets by increasing gas and electric bills for American families.
The Climate Security Act will also create an army of new bureaucrats by requiring the Environmental Protection Agency to establish a greenhouse gas (GHG) registry, create a GHG emission allowance transfer system, and set emission allowances for 2012-2050. New agencies that the legislation would create include the Climate Change Credit Corporation, which will auction emission allowances, and the Carbon Market Efficiency Board, which will observe and report on the national GHG emission market.
This dramatic expansion of government will eventually dictate every aspect of commercial and individual energy use. Ultimately, the cap-and-trade system will be open to manipulation and corruption, with politicians and bureaucrats picking winners and losers in the energy market.
Some argue that cap-and-trade is environmentalism. But this kind of environmentalism is nothing more than an elite command-and-control system that will kill prosperity!
Say NO! To Hidden Taxes. Sign the Petition Here and tell YOUR Senators NOW!
