Willard,

A new report has just been released indicating that Pennsylvania
is one of 40 states that will see electric bills rise under
the new cap-and-trade Carbon Tax scheme.

Just so happens that liberal strongholds like California,
New York, Connecticut and Washington State will actually
see their prices decline… while EVERY RED STATE FROM THE
2008 ELECTION except two will see energy prices increase
or skyrocket!

Why are some states (mostly blue states) paying less while other
states (historically red states) are getting hammered? Because
the new cap-and-trade carbon tax has been totally politicized!

Liberal politicians and bureaucrats are giving themselves
the power to “allocate” the carbon allowances to support
their political agenda!

According to the New York Times, a similar cap-and-trade
“allocations” system failed miserably in Europe, creating a
“lobbying free-for-all that led politicians to dole out favors
to various industries” while creating “little noticeable
benefit to the climate” and generating a “multibillion-dollar
windfall” even for favored polluters!

+ + VOTE THIS WEEK TO IMPOSE ENERGY TAX!

Willard, Speaker Pelosi is still pressing for a House
Floor Vote THIS WEEK — to rush this through before she
takes her July 4 holiday.

Right now, Democratic leaders are trying to strike back-room
deals… but our Hill contacts tell us resistance is building.

Two ways to get that message through today…

#1 — Send Faxes Now!

We have focused our FaxFire on the most vulnerable
Democrats in the House. Go here to schedule your faxes:

http://www.grassfire.net/r.asp?U=19893&CID=112&RID=18650532

If you prefer to send your faxes, please use the fax numbers
and sample fax letters provided above.

#2– Make these phone calls.

Call your Representative and key House leaders and tell them
you oppose the fast-tracking of this massive tax:

Your Representative:

Rep. Kanjorski  202-225-6511

House Speaker Pelosi: 202-225-4188

Majority Leader Steny Hoyer: 202-225-4131

Rep. Collin Peterson (Ag Committee Chair): 202-225-2165

Rep. Tim Holden (Ag Cmmtte Vice Chair): 202-225-5546

Talking Points:

1. I am disappointed that Speaker Pelosi is pressing for a
floor vote this week on the cap-and-trade Carbon Tax.

2. I oppose the cap-and-trade Carbon Tax. This is an
outrageous power grab by the federal government that will
greatly expand government control and increase energy
costs for my family in Pennsylvania.

3. This system of “allocations” has failed in Europe and will
politicize America’s energy policy.

4. Especially in these difficult economic times, Congress
must not pass this tax on the American people!

The Carbon Tax is the lynchpin to the entire leftist, statist
scheme. This is where they find new tax dollars to fund their
programs.

We can damage those plans with a strong stand against the
Carbon Tax this week!

Thanks for taking a stand!

Steve Elliott, President
Grassfire.org

P.S. Your Congressmen will face enormous pressure from Pelosi
and the Democratic machine to pass this new tax this week.
Please take a stand by calling and sending faxes:

Remember the good, old days when reporters were tough on everyone… working hard to find the facts and get the scoop? Ok, ok, neither do I. I guess I’m too young. How about the days when the line between journalism and political advocacy was starting to blur? Remember those days? Well, now that line is completely gone.

With Obama’s big push for a national health care system that is estimated to cost $1.6 trillion in coming years, ABC News has decided to help get the message out. Next week, they are broadcasting a special called “Questions for the President: Prescription for America” from INSIDE the White House. It will be a question and answer session with questions selected by ABC News from members of an “audience.” The only side of the health care debate that will be presented is Obama’s. So much for that blurry line of separation…

As reported in a FOXNews.com story, on June 24, “ABC News will host an hour-long special on health care reform in the U.S. next Wednesday from the White House East Room — a move that ABC is defending but critics are calling a surrender to the Obama administration’s effort to control the debate.”

Apparently, there is a large, underground movement occurring in America… one that has the far left shaking and fearful. It is the rise of the “right-wing nut.”

According to the liberal media, free speech is only free if a liberal is attacking a conservative. David Letterman can tell sex “jokes” about Sarah Palin’s teenage daughter, and all is fine. However, if Sarah Palin and others try to enlighten America on the

David Martin, Executive Vice President

MEDIA RESEARCH CENTER

Willard,

Schedule your faxes right now and join our week-long blitz of Congress

We’ve got stunning news to report!


Our week-long grassroots blitz of Capitol Hill is catching on and spreading like wildfire. In fact, turnout has been so overwhelming that we’ve reached our faxing capacity for this week!


That’s why Brent has decided to extend our Free Speech campaign into next week to maximize our impact—throwing the door wide open for thousands more phone contacts and faxes—each demanding that the Broadcaster Freedom Act be brought to the House and Senate floors for a full and fair vote!

Willard, here’s what we need you to do.


Take a moment right now to schedule your personalized faxes to the very members of Congress who are attempting to muzzle your Free Speech Rights and silence your opinion!

This is your best opportunity to sound off to the liberal elite—demanding that the Broadcaster Freedom Act be brought to the floor for a full and fair vote!

Together, we can end this anti-speech effort by the left—but we need you to take strong, decisive action right now by clicking here.



++ Sound the Free Speech Alarm to Your Friends!


After scheduling your faxes to lawmakers who are attempting to silence conservative speech in America, we need to take our Free Speech initiative to thousands more citizens across the nation …


Forward this message DIRECTLY to 30-40 friends and family members.
Share the excitement of this incredible Free Speech initiative, and urge them
to become a part of it by clicking here and signing our national petition.


If necessary, follow-up with a phone call—talking your friends through the signing process.



++ Daily Phone Calls Demanding Action!


Willard, if every member of the MRC Action Team who has signed our Free Speech petition called their Senators and Representative, more than ONE MILLION phone calls would pour into Congressional offices — making our voices impossible to ignore — all in the name of Free Speech in America!


Obviously we can’t force lawmakers to take action… but we can make it obvious that we won’t leave quietly.


So after alerting and following up with friends, make your DAILY phone calls to your Pennsylvania officials letting them know that you want them to take a stand on Free Speech in America by demanding the Broadcaster Freedom Act (H.R. 226, S.34) be brought to the floor for an up-or-down vote.


Here is your contact information:

Sen. Specter 202-224-4254
Sen. Casey 202-224-6324

Congressman Kanjorski 202-225-6511

For maximum impact, please also contact Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Reid directly:

Nancy Pelosi (202) 225-4965
Harry Reid (202) 224-3542

Pelosi has consistently balked at moving this bill forward, so urge your lawmakers to pressure both Pelosi and Reid to take immediate action on this important First Amendment bill!


Some of you have shared your experiences in calling Capitol Hill. Someone here at MRC called Nancy Pelosi’s office yesterday. One of her assistants answered the phone, but when she heard what he was calling about, she dumped him into voicemail! If you have a story you’d like to share, please e-mail us at mrcaction@mediaresearch.org.


The entire staff at the MRC applauds your outstanding support and commitment, and encourages you to carry the Free Speech banner high into next week!


Thank you for standing with the MRC!


David
