Newt Gingrich was on the show earlier today and urged you all to go sign the petition to stop the energy tax. It might help the cause if we gave you a link to that. Consider it done.

What others are saying
Newt is BORING
Newt does the radio talk circuit, along with Ollie North and Huckabee. He does nothing but bash Obama, Blah, Blah.
I would rather listen to The Talkmaster complain about a store-gernade on his shirts than hear Newt's Unfair and Unbalanced criticisms of the Dems. If he's so darn smart, why didn't he keep us out of some of these messes we are in now?
Crikey Neal, you can do better.
Gingrich petition
As a neo-copperhead descendant of Virginian & Tennessean confederate defiers of the vicious, destructive & bestial self righteous preservers by force of the voluntary & consensual thus REVOCABLE federal union I would rather stop the vile Georgian scalawag--you can always tell by the rockefeller pseudo republican party membership--Newton Gingrich. Boortz, is there no END to your carpet bag sycophancy, conflating the imperativeness of fighting the energy tax & any thing even remotely connected to that unspeakable worm? I bet you liked Jack Kemp too & thought Robert Welch was all wrong about Eisenhower & Earl Warren, 2 other great rockefeller pseudo republicans. Just think: had the evil interests that CAUSED the war of northern aggression been stopped in time there would be neither an energy tax NOR Gingrich.
The worse things get the happier I am. Before my fiftieth birth day in 2010, while I am still prospectively dangerous a la Carl Drega, Stuart Alexander et alii, I may get to award myself compensation for George Wallace losing in 1968, a disaster which at the time I rightly & explicitly declared merited the worst consequences on a stupid, purblind, bovine & vapid nation. Frankly I WANT the fast worsening domestic crises to end badly so my validation & justification fall right in my waiting lap like ripe peaches. When that happens maybe you can refer your clientele to a scalawag indorsed petition to stop violently radicalized right populist dissidents blowing their tops at last.
I'm done
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. --Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain [George III] is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
Cap & dump Capitalism
link is now working again, by the way, hopefully it was just overwhelmed mid-day. I don't understand the motivation for Waxman, Markey, Pelosi, Boxer, et al for pushing. Greed or Power? It couldn't be both could it? How much more wealth & control over our daily lives do these power-drunken megalomaniacs want? No one believes this will be anything but bad for the US. Could that be Obama & the rest of the Internationalists' goal? Hmmmm
Tax
@Chuck - How much of an increase? Also, isn't taxing a specific group a bill of attainder?
Debate
By the way, i signed the petition yesterday with no problem. I also called over 25 congressmen. It was interesting how many Republicans were on the fence. As far as Blue dog Democrats, their stay in the congress will be short if they vote for this. Independents wont stand for it.....I hope.
Debate
This bill will be the death nail in our economy.
The Dems know this will cost jobs, yet they stare straight into your eyes and call this a job creation bill!
I for one believe it will create jobs........but in China, Mexico and India.
Looks like it passed this go 'round.....with 30 democraps defecting! Now THAT's interesting! Maybe some are finally sobering up.
aaaaaaaaaaaaggggggggggghhhhhhh....crap
me no git to sing song sign...............crap
I hope the morons who sat out the election
to punish the GOP are happy now. It's clear the dimocrats want to destroy the USA.
I'm sure the leftwing nutjobs are drooling at the prospect of seeing America's economy left in ruins.
Signed
Done and done.
@Bubala - American Solutions isn't GOP, it's tri-partisan (or non-partisan depending on how you look at it).
I imagine they're getting slammed and that's why all the 404's. I personally had no trouble signing.
Petition
How in the world do you expect to sign this petition with two stars dead in the past twenty-four hours? Don't you know this is America where stars news overshadows crap like our taxes. Geez Neal, c'mon.
Calling your representative
Hopefully it is a good thing that my first five attempts to contact the House of Representatives switch board have resulted in a busy tone. Maybe the reaction will be the same as the one for McCain's Immigration bill which overloaded and shut down the switchboard from all the calls.
Link goes to 404 bad cgi after completing
Tried signing about 20 times. Not one got thru. Kept getting 404 page errors. When are gopers going to get their technical act together? If we can't figure out how to get a simple petition to register, how the hell are we supposed to compete?
Dave...this is H.A.L.
Uh, yeah, Dave it raises taxes on anyone with a manufacturing facility or an energy producing plant. That's a tax if they aren't in compliance. The costs of these taxes get passed on to we consumers. Sorry, have you been sleeping in a really dark, quiet room?
can't sign it broken
won't let me sign
Tax?
Everybody is referring to this as a tax, but I can't find any information to support that. Certainly there are provisions in the bill (such as "modernization" of our energy system) which will require new taxes (or more printing of money).
Is that what people are referring to? Or are they talking about cost increases that will be passed to consumers?
John Kerry said...
"Dissent is patriotic..." So here we are, dissenting away! At least the Democrats could declare their real intentions...Cap and Trade is punishment for not signing the Kyoto Treaty. Maybe some of the public believes it's really for the environment. I can't imagine any lawmaker with half a brain feels that way. Oh wait, we're talking about people like Corrine Brown, Dennis Kucinich, Nancy Pelosi...maybe they do believe the garbage they're putting forth.
energy tax petition
I'm also having trouble with that link...I will try the direct mode Maria suggested.
Link Broken but I called my Rep
They answered the phone and told me he is voting NO
Link is broken...
interesting how the link isn't working...would love to have signed the petition though...
Link to petition
Link worked for me at 12:45PM CDT
broken link
Link is broken...but you can go directly to the American Solutions site: http://www.americansolutions.com/energytax/ Then you may have to enter the security code a bunch of times before it works.
Link
the one I posted earlier seems to be working
Cap'n Trade
Maybe Newt will get back on the couch with Nancy Pelosi.
I tried
but the sites don't seem to be working properly. Either times out, can't find site etc. Any suggestions?
Cap and trade
"this link appears to be broken" coincidence?
I tried to sign...
but the link appears to be broken. I called my congressman Harry Mitchell this morning to express my strong opposition.
Can't Sign the Petition!!
It is telling me once I sign that the page cannot be found. Anyone having the same issue?
Petition
I tried to sign it three times, but the verification words are illegible each time. Antbody else having a problem?
Cap and Trade...
will pass. The New World Order requires it so it will be passed. No petition will stop it and the American people sure as hell won't stop it. We are not in charge of our lives. Our rulers are in charge. Don't forget who we serve. We serve the banks and the corporations who have taken over our government to meet THEIR needs. We must remember that our government needs us to give more money to these corrupt entities because if we don't how will they be able to control every aspect of our lives? That is the whole point anyways right?
energy tax petition
I called my Rep (Tom Price) for the first time. He is against cap and trade.
I hope he has enough like minded associates to quash this tax.
