		<description><![CDATA[SGN Readers,
Tomorrow (Friday) the House votes on H.R. 2454, the Waxman-Markley Energy Tax bill. Not only will this legislation cost the average American family $1,500 a year, it will also allow the government to hook its sticky fingers further into your lives. We all need more regulation, right?

American Solutions (Newt’s latest venture) sums up the latest, delightful offering from our socialist Community Organizer in Chief and his cronies this way. It will:]]></description>

<p>SGN Readers,<br />
Tomorrow (Friday) the <a class="zem_slink" title="United States House of Representatives" rel="homepage" href="http://www.house.gov">House</a> votes on <a href="http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h111-2454" target="_blank">H.R. 2454, the Waxman-Markley Energy Tax bill</a>. Not only will this legislation cost the <a class="zem_slink" title="Average Joe" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Average_Joe">average American</a> family $1,500 a year, it will also allow the government to hook its sticky fingers further into your lives. We all need more regulation, right?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.americansolutions.com/" target="_blank">American Solutions</a> (Newt’s latest venture) sums up the latest, delightful offering from our socialist <a class="zem_slink" title="Community organizing" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_organizing">Community Organizer</a> in Chief and his cronies this way. It will:<br />
*Destroy an average of 1-3 million jobs, every year<br />
*Raise inflation-adjusted <a class="zem_slink" title="Gasoline and diesel usage and pricing" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasoline_and_diesel_usage_and_pricing">gasoline prices</a> by 74 percent<br />
*Raise residential <a class="zem_slink" title="Natural gas" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_gas">natural gas</a> prices by 55 percent<br />
*Raise an average family&#8217;s annual energy bill by $1,500 annually<br />
*Increase the <a class="zem_slink" title="Government debt" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_debt">federal debt</a> by 26 percent, which is $29,150 per person</p>
<p>Unbelievably, a few Republicans (note I call them Republicans and not conservatives) are still on the fence about this bill. Now, they vote on it tomorrow and it’s over a thousand pages long but they’re just not sure what to do.  Hmm….decisions, decisions. <a href="http://www.redstate.com/erick/2009/06/25/add-these-republicans-to-the-cap-trade-phone-calls/" target="_blank">Here’s a list of these wishy washy legislators.</a></p>
<p>Smart Girls (and guys, too), let’s help them make up their minds, shall we? Call them. Email them. Send <a class="zem_slink" title="Carrier pigeon" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier_pigeon">carrier pigeons</a>. Let them hear your voice. I just heard <a href="http://www.michelebachmann.com/" target="_blank">Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-MN)</a> say on <a class="zem_slink" title="Television" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television">TV</a> that it is NOT TOO LATE to contact your representatives and tell them how you feel. So do it.</p>
<p>The House switchboard is 202.225.3121 or 202.224.3121. Go use your gift of gab, ladies. Talk your representatives’ ears off.</p>
