IDONTAGREE OR DO YOU



We need to fight this, Here is some more info.
It's not fun to lose. Unfortunately, that's what happened when the U.S. House passed the National Energy Tax on Friday night by a vote of 219-212
(Click here to see how your representative voted). But, losing forces us to take a hard look at where we are, so we can be ready for the next stage of this fight in the U.S. Senate. Today, we face 3 truths:

One - people are now paying attention, they're angry, and they want to act. Two - we need more people, in your state, on our side. Three - the time to begin recruiting is today.

The 219-212 vote was much closer than Speaker Pelosi expected, and 44 Democrats bucked their party and voted no. This is a testament to your efforts, and now we must do it again in the Senate.

Our vehicle is the "Stop the Energy Tax" campaign, which will allow us to reach, educate, and activate more people to make their voices heard in Washington.

Right now over 150,000 people have joined us. We must now double that for the Senate fight. If every petition signer recruits just one person, we'll hit our goal of 300,000.

Please take a moment and ask one person to sign the Stop the Energy Tax petition at
www.americansolutions.com/energytax.

Or, if you have any other ideas for how to bring more people to our side, click here.


Because of the close vote in the House, Senators are already nervous about supporting the National Energy Tax. In fact, over the weekend Senator Claire McCaskill, a Democrat from Missouri said: "I hope we fix cap and trade so it doesn't unfairly punish businesses and families in coal dependent states like Missouri."

This shows there are Senators on the fence, and they can be pushed over the edge if enough of us are willing to act. Thank you for recruiting one person today, and we'll be in touch in the coming days to let you know other ways that you can help defeat this massive energy tax.

Don't believe The RedNeckRush - try this one? Al Qaeda says they would use Pakistani nuclear weapons on U.S.-- according to Mustafa Abu al-Yazid, the leader of al Qaeda in Afghanistan: 'The strategy of the (al Qaeda) organization in the coming period is the same as in the previous period: to hit the head of the snake, the head of tyranny -- the United States.' ... but read on -- 'That can be achieved through continued work on the open fronts and also by opening new fronts in a manner that achieves the interests of Islam and Muslims and by increasing military operations that drain the enemy financially.

NOW CONSIDER OBAMA'S ROLE in "draining the enemy financially" ... UNEMPLOYMENT? All Kinds and Types of New Programs That Will DRAIN THE US ECONOMY - "cap & Trade" ... Billion Dollar Stimulus Packages that will eat our lunch in future deficits? .. Wars in Afganastan and Iraq - how costly are these? .. and the biggest one to date? Just think about the OBAMA HEALTH CARE PACKAGE! Now ask yourself a simple, straight forward "what if" ... WHAT IF THESE NEW PROGRAMS escalate in costs like every other government program has done in the past 40 years? WHAT IF?

If this ever gets pass, then everyone will wake up one day to find that their utility bill has more than tripled. Maybe then people will realize that they should have been paying attention but by then it'll be to late. We need to get these crazy people out of our government!

DENVER � The Colorado Supreme Court ruled Monday that authorities violated the constitutional and privacy rights of suspected illegal immigrants when they used tax returns to try and build hundreds of identity theft cases against them. The 4-3 ruling affirmed a decision by a Weld County district judge who suppressed evidence against one of the defendants. In that case, investigators raided a tax business that catered to Latinos in Greeley, an agricultural city on the northern plains of Colorado with a heavily Hispanic population. The investigation, dubbed "Operation Numbers Game," marked the first and only time in the U.S. that authorities used tax returns, which are confidential under federal law, to prosecute suspected illegal immigrants. A favorable ruling for Weld County could have given prosecutors a new tool to find and prosecute illegal immigrants, who are required to pay taxes despite their legal status. Prosecutors in other states had expressed interest in the investigation, a prosecutor said. With Monday's ruling, the Supreme Court agreed with a district court judge who said authorities had gone on an "exploratory search" and had no probable cause to search the man's tax returns. The defendant was one of more than 70 people charged with criminal impersonation and identity theft. Some defendants pleaded guilty and were deported before the district court ruling. Prosecutors had dismissed more than 60 pending cases while they waited for the Supreme Court to rule, and the district attorney's office said it reserved the right to file charges again with a favorable ruling. "Obviously, I'm disappointed," said Weld County District Attorney Ken Buck, a Republican who is running for the U.S. Senate. "We have a serious identity theft problem in Weld County, we are trying to address it and this is a setback." Buck said he would not appeal to a federal court. Kevin Strobel, the head of the Greeley Public Defender's Office, said Monday's ruling shows that despite the heated political debate about illegal immigration, "there's still a constitutional framework for how authorities deal with that population and whether they've committed crimes or not." "They gotta play by the rules," he said. Weld County authorities launched their investigation after a Texas man told them his identity was being used by a Greeley resident. The suspect in that case told sheriff's investigators that he was filing taxes with Amalias' Translation and Tax Services. Investigators obtained a search warrant and seized thousands of tax documents from the business and used them to arrest dozens of people. The American Civil Liberties Union successfully sued on behalf of the business owner, saying the search of her property was illegal. An appeal in that case is pending with the Colorado Supreme Court. The identity theft investigation angered immigrant advocacy groups, including the National Immigration Law Center, which said the immigrants were following the law by paying taxes. Some of them said they hoped that doing so would help their chances of someday becoming permanent residents. Prosecutors had said they believed as many as 1,300 immigrants were breaking the law and that they planned to charge more people. In ruling against Buck's investigation, the Supreme Court ruled that the search warrant was flawed because it did not identify by name the people whose documents were to be inspected. That, Buck said, was impossible. "The problem with identity theft is that people are using false identities," Buck said. "So how do you know whose name is going to be on that file?"
