Cap and Trade A Big Fat Lie!

Have you noticed that the talking heads have changed the montra of "Global Warming" to "Climate Change"? Why? Simple it isn't true. We will not be dying of heat stroke any time soon. Read what over 31,000 scientest think about Climate Change by clicking on the following link. http://www.oism.org/pproject/ I believe 31,000 scientest and not Al "I invented the Internet" Gore or Jeff "Run GE into the ground" Immelt. Both Gore and Immelt have a vested intrest in the passage of Cap and Trade. Colusion if you ask me.

Here is Immelt sitting next to Austan Goolsbee, serving on the Council of Economic Advisers and staff director and chief economist of Obama’s Economic Recovery Advisory Board, as the "Church Lady" would say "How convienent"!

America please contact your legislators and tell them to vote down any legislation that has to to with global warming, cap and trade, climate change, carbon tax or any new taxes. This non sense has gone on long enough. There are only bad outcomes for any tax.

Letter to Rep. DeFazio, Sen. Merkley, and Sen. Wyden

Dear Rep. DeFazio, Sen. Merkley and Sen. Wyden,

Please speak out against Rep. Henry Waxman, Chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee, for slapping all Americans in the face. When asked to read a bill out loud, he hired a speed reader to read the bill. He also commented that he himself did not read the bill and does not know everything contained in it. This is unacceptable. What kind of example does this set for Congress. Are you all elitist? Does anyone have any morals or values in Washington? In my profession, I would be fired for a stunt like that, however, Americans have to wait till the next election to remove an elected official.

I am very concerned about the direction that the Federal Government is taking our country. The founding father of the Democratic Party was Thomas Jefferson who hated big Government, however, recent decisions and legislation says the Democratic Party wants Government to control everything. Banks, insurance companies, car companies, cap and trade, and healthcare not to mention all of the other entitlements that are already in place are intruding on me and my family. I used to be able t take care of myself, however, I am taxed so harshly that soon no matter how many jobs I work, the government will take it away from me and give it to someone else.

Why do you support punishing productive Americans? Why do you think the Federal Government knows best? I ask you to not tow the current party line and return to what Thomas Jefferson believed in, a small limited Federal Government.

I will be posting this e-mail on my blog http://ricevillage.blogspot.com as I do with all communications I send to public officials.

May Day is Lei Day In Hawaii

In 1893, the Hawaiian Kingdom came to an end. It was little more than 100 years earlier that King Kamehameha united the eight major islands under one ruler. It did not take long for Christian Missionaries to arrive on the shores of paradise with the goal of converting the savages. Little did they know the disaster they would bring to the native people.

For many generations, the Hawaiian Islands, were isolated from the world. Before the arrival of Captain Cook in 1774, no one in the chain had ever seen a white man. The Hawaiian's thought Cook to be a God and treated him as such. Unfortunately for Cook, he overstayed his visit. This was the first foreigner, however, he would not be the last.

As more and more foreigners arrived, the native population was devastated. Having no anti-bodies to combat many common ailments, hundreds of thousands died. The extinction of a race of humans had begun. Today it is a fact that we will see the last pure Hawaiians die off in the next generation, if not sooner. A human extinction that took less that two hundred years.

While environmentalist were worried about the spotted owl, hump back whale, and the condor, they failed to see the end of an entire race of people. Where were the environmentalist when the humans needed them? I know the spotted owls, the hump back whales, and condors still live, what about the Hawaiians?

I write this article because today in Hawaii there are celebrations going on all over the State. I have been missing the festivities for almost eight years now because of moving my family to Oregon. Last night my wife made carnation leis for my little one and herself. The stringing of flowers reminded me of home. My ancestral home, Hawaii.

I have spent most of the day trying to think of something to write about. For the past few days I've been suffering from writers block. So around 11 PM, I thought I would write a story about May Day in Hawaii. I sat down and did a bad thing I read the Local News. Illegal immigrant rights activist march on Portland. Foreign workers, flown in to replace laid off Americans. Union to own fifty percent of Chrysler. And so on. May day became not a celebration for me but an emergency call "May Day, May Day".

Why choose the plight of Native Hawaiians to discuss the problems in America? So history does not repeat it's self. Will Americans become extinct like the Hawaiians? Are we allowing a Government to dictate our lives or as Obama puts it "real change you can believe in". It was not change that Americans wanted, they wanted leadership, but what they got in Obama was Bush on steroids. We are being distracted by one issue after another. The Government using slight of hand just like an illusionist.

The change that we need now is:
Government needs to collect all its bail out money now
No more bail outs
Close the boarders
Enforce Immigration Laws
No more foreign worker visas
Cut all social program budgets with plans to end them
No more death tax
No Cap and Trade
Flat Tax

This is the start. We need to move closer to no government control, not to total government control like we are doing. Let us push forward to make the Government afraid of its people. For if we do not take heed, we may end up like the Hawaiians, extinct.

Letter to Senator Kruse

Dear Senator Kruse,

There is no conclusive evidence that there is global warming. Al Gore's movie has no scientific basis to stand on. It was mostly made up using poor and sometimes untrue data. Climatologist at OSU do not believe the Earth is getting any warmer than it has been in the past. Green House gases entering our atmosphere have not even approached levels that have been discovered frozen in Antarctic ice. The media has used scare tactics to keep American's sitting on the edge of their chairs waiting for the next environmental disaster shoe to drop. Environmentalist also use scare tactics such as if you don't comply with what I say you must want to kill children. The language may not be the same, however, the message is clear and for them undebatable. I believe that it is our duty to move towards an electric society vs an oil society. I believe we need to develop solar, hydrogen, and fusion power sources, however, I do not believe that our current energy usage is changing the environment for the worst. There are too many factors to look at. What I do believe is that we need to reduce our need to import resources. Our deficit is a result of American's not wanting to change our ways of spending what we don't have, wanting the government to take care of us, and a move to a more secular society. As Eddy Izzard said "there were only to civilizations that placed their hands over their hearts, Rome was one and the US is the other. Are we destined to repeat history or will we move forward and overcome our current situation. It is my hope that individuals like yourself whom represent many will make decisions that are not right and liked always, just righteous.

Harry
