Dear Charlie,
Congress will soon begin debating a so-called “cap-and-trade” energy bill that proposes to combat global warming. Unfortunately for taxpayers, it utilizes the same solution that big-government boosters employ for virtually every problem this country faces: higher taxes!
NTU and our friends at the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) are joining together to point out the dangers of this scheme and expose nearly $2 trillion worth of tax hikes on American families. Picking taxpayers’ pockets for more money won’t help us turn the corner on today’s difficult economy. NTU and CEI are asking you to join us in telling Congress: Don’t turn 2009 into 1984! Sound off to your Representatives today!
Send a letter to the following decision maker(s):
Your Congressperson
Your Senators
Below is the sample letter:
Subject: Oppose Cap-and-Trade Tax Hike!
Dear [decision maker name automatically inserted here],
Carbon dioxide emissions pose less of a threat to our country than the energy tax policies now being considered by Congress. Cap-and-trade proposals, such as President Obama’s blueprint and the Waxman-Markey bill, would pile a multi-trillion-dollar indirect tax onto the backs of consumers. Cap-and-trade would make energy prices unbearable and put millions more people out of work.
I strongly urge you to vote against the Waxman-Markey cap-and-trade bill and any other energy-rationing legislation.
Sincerely,
Charlie Prochaska
