If the Beatles hadn't had to pay so much in taxes, they might have not had to have sold the rights to their songs to you know who.............., an American legend.
Say ya wanna revolution!
If this doesn't infuriate you, nothing will:
The provision goes like this:
If you decide to sell YOUR house a "federal agency must inspect it" for energy efficiency standards they have set (California new home). If it does not comply, YOU must make whatever changes they deem and pay for it before YOU can sell your home.
So if they don't like your doors, windows, walls, heating A/C, insulation, water fixtures (toilets, faucets), appliances, etc. you can't sell.
F'ing GDm change you can believe in! Write your senators!
Next we have to send a message to the senate to kill this thing.
This is a good form letter to copy/paste/edit personalize to send to the house etc.. We crashed the phone system on fri. afternoon, lets send another strong message.

TO: <insert your representative’s name here>
FROM: The American People
REF: Your actions on June 26th, 2009 to pass the Waxman Energy and Climate Bill and the people’s response.
ATTENTION:
Wethe People want to make clear our displeasure with your actions. Your vote in the House of Representatives to pass this bill is a bittershock to all regular people across the nation. We expected you to dobetter than that.
We do not care what pressure you are under.You are paid to do a job – so do it. It is plain to us out here, livingin our homes and trying to make it from month to month, that many ofyou are either incapable or unwilling to do the job you are being paidto do. That’s unfortunate because your actions recently have resultedin higher unemployment and greater hardships for the American family.
Whatyou have done in allowing Cap and Trade (H.R. 2454) to go to the Senatewas essentially a vote against the people whom you allegedly represent.These are the same people who have seen their retirement fundsdisappear into other people’s pockets. They are the same people who canclearly see that their grocery bills are increasing. They see the priceof gas increasing and their rights and freedoms and privacy beingeroded. These are the same people who view with distaste the lies andtwisted doublespeak by elected officials and the sneering contempt withwhich these same officials refer to their people’s protests. But mostimportantly, these are the same people who will hire or fire you.
Whileyou, in your higher comfortable income bracket, may find the death ofAmerican industries amusing, we the people do not. You may not havetrouble paying your household utilities, purchasing food for yourfamily, or putting gas in your car to drive to work, but we do – and wecan see that your actions are not going to make this any easier. As youhave repeatedly made your intentions clear; that you wish to continueto take from regular people while increasing your own wealth, and thatyou wish to continue to harm our families with ridiculous actions inCongress, we now would like to make ourselves very clear.
Youwho have done these things to us will very soon feel the hardship andthe sting of what you have done this week and the months and yearspreceding. You will be repaid for all of this. When we put you out onthe street we will do it with a pen stroke, a lever pull, and a smile.When you’re finally in the real world with the rest of us, you willfind no friends here. You will be remembered and you will be despised.
Youare selling our freedom and our way of life to a progressive andrepressive government. You are helping build a dictatorship in acountry founded on freedom. You’re giving away our country’s wealth toother nations and you didn’t even do all of this with a heavy heart ora torn sense of responsibility. You simply did it for your ownpolitical advancement.
We are tired of not being represented.We are tired of being ridiculed because we disagree or because weprotest. We are tired of being marginalized and we are very tired ofwatching the gleeful destruction of America.
A revolution iscoming in this nation and you are making yourselves the target of it.It may seem unlikely to you. Our wrath may not seem real from yourlofty positions. You may feel yourselves to be untouchable, but make nomistake … we are coming. We are coming for you all and you WILL loseyour job; like millions of others.
Regards,
We the People
The morons that voted YES in the house of representatives are as stupid as the people that voted for GANGSTAPUPPETOTUSPOS. It is clear these morons don't care a bit for the USAmerican people. DO YOU KNOW HOW I KNOW THIS? Because it was humanly impossible for anyone of these morons to have read or understood the 1300 pgs of this bill, since 300pgs of changes were added this morning a 3AM! Pelosi also broke the 24hr promise of letting the American people view it, before they vote. Just like the sheeple that voted for GANGSTAPUPPETOTUSPOS who voted unknowingly for a marxist.
They just raised the average familys' annual expenses by $1500.00 to $3000.00. In other words your taxes just went up significantly. Another broken campaign promise, hope and change, $ucker$!!!!!
From the Examiner:
"The American Clean Energy and Security Act, better known asWaxman-Markey for its sponsors, is being rushed to a vote in what hasbecome a trademark move for the Pelosi-Reid Congress. The key componentof the bill is a cap and trade scheme for controlling greenhouse gasses.
Criticsof the bill claim the cap and trade plan will tax energy usage acrossthe board, which will hit taxpayers both directly in their own energyconsumption and indirectly through increased cost in the production ofgoods.
Even supporters of the bill seem to be doing so from asense of "something is better than nothing", but see many flaws in thelegislation. An article by Yale Environment 360calls out two primary weaknesses. The first is that concessions toindustrial lobbies has lowered the greenhouse gas reduction targets tothe point of irrelevance. The second is the removal from the EPA of theauthority to regulate emissions from coal plants.
There are other controversial points as well. According to Investor's Business Daily, the act would pay companies, domestic and foreign to notcut down trees. This component is suprising from an administration thathas so often and loudly decried the transfer of American wealthoverseas.
At the heart of the battle over Waxman-Markey is theactual impact of the legislation on taxpayers and the economy. TheCongressional Budget Office cites the impact on the average householdas about $175 per year. Yet the CBO's own report adds a disclaimer in a footnotestating, "The resource cost does not indicate the potential decrease ingross domestic product (GDP) that could result from the cap." In fact,the Wall Street Journal points out, the report "contains so manycaveats as to render it useless."
The Heritage Foundationestimates that the bill would result in 2 million jobs lost when theact takes effect in 2012, and would remove $9.3 trillion from the GDPby 2035. The additional national debt incurred would add an estimated$115,000 per household, and cost each household $4600 in additionalenergy and consumer costs by 2035.
According to the Wall StreetJournal, even though Democrats are publicly promising no burdensomeeconomic impacts, they are privately acknowledging the potential forsignificant impact and are determined to go ahead anyway: "During thebrief few days in which the bill was debated in the House EnergyCommittee, Republicans offered three amendments: one to suspend theprogram if gas hit $5 a gallon; one to suspend the program ifelectricity prices rose 10% over 2009; and one to suspend the programif unemployment rates hit 15%. Democrats defeated all of them."
TheWall Street Journal concedes that it is difficult to estimate theactual impact of the bill, and therefore suggest looking at the UnitedKingdom, which already has many green taxes and carbon-cuttingprograms. Independent studies there indicate that these measures costBritish taxpayers as much as $1300 per year for an average family.
DuringWorld War II Americans would respond to wasteful activities with thecriticism, "Don't you know there's a war on?!" This could become thenew battlecry as the Obama administration continues to push bill afterbill with enormous potential price tags even while spending even moremoney to shore up the economy. Faced with an over-ambitious andcounterproductive White House agenda, it may be time for Americans tocry, "Don't you know there's a recession on?!"
The healthcare initiative by GANGSTAPUPPETOTUSPOS was exposed for what it really is last night. Socio medical engineering by the fascist jaCka$$ govt. in charge now. He said it! If you are sick and THEY DECIDE you won't be helped. YOU DIE FASTER! So hurry up and die you old people.
I knew Sarkozy was the man! The French might ban the burqa in France! And he hit it........... right on, the burqa is a "debasement of women", finally, no kidding! And of course the slave driver muslim medievalists are already talking of outrage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! F (France) off!
Vive la France!
The talking heads are a frinking a twitter, as if we didn't know what happened in the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's without todays twitting, IM'ng, whatever................they are so on it. Who actually thought the elections in Iran would be fair?????????????? No matter what happens, they end up with a THEOCRACY! When the totalitarian theocrats get out of the way is when Iran might have a chance at FREEDOM, "the kind we here in the USAmerica are starting to lose". Unless the Iranian military takes the mullahs out, the mullahs will remain in charge. All the Iranians gotta want what we got, who wouldn't?, true USAmerican FREEDOM is truly worth it. Problem is not all of them know how sweet it is because they ain't got the first amendment!

Remember this: The Basigi is a civilian thug enforcer group run by the Iranian govt. to do its dirty work.
I see a similar group possibly being nurtured here in the USA, their problem though, is the 2nd. amendment, let's keep that one. Don't let it go, no matter what.
The US Navy better hurry up 'cause this barnacle encrusted, rusting thru., floating POS NK tub, is going to SINK! What a joke. Where in the JEEZees are the environmentalists? This thing is polluting the whales and causing global warming at the same time!
They won't even need a single round! Just life preservers! When it sinks! It would only be humane, we could give political amnesty to the sailors of the KANG NAM. They could move in with Barbara Boxer!
The USS John S Mccain on maneuvers. This ship alone could destroy and/or contain all of KIM dum Ills barges.
WTH?
Pretty fast! Definitely impressive! What do you think?
PUPPETOTUSPOS is now GANGSTATOTUSPOS.
The GANGSTATOTUSPOS co-sponsors legislation that requires a thirty day waiting period before firing Inspector Generals.
So he fires IG Walprin, quit immediately or be fired, he is told by some gangsta consulare' from the WHouse.
Why?
They are investigating GANGSTATOTUSPOS buddy Kevin Johnson for mis appropriations of public funds in Cali, Cali.
Outrageous abuse of power................... Castro, Ahmadenijad, Chavez, Corleone, should be envious.
Joey Biden could well be our next TOTUS.
How naive is the media? They still don't get it, PUPPETOTUSPOS IS NOT A DEITY. Did you actually believe that a speech in Cairo by PUPPETOTUSPOS would change anything in the Middle East. Maybe he should call Ahmadenijad and ask him to play nice and have a do over.
The dirty secret is that Ahmadenijad has his own ACORN chapter. No, really, seriously if it wasn't fixed you could have maybe had some odds in Vegas.
You got Joey Biden talking about how the Iranian govt. is suppressing manipulating media well, well, well the kettle calling the pot black.
These middle east countries don't give a rats a$$ what PUPPETOTUSPOS or Joey or anyone for that matter says, they are totalitarians! Get it? We don't want that.
Heidi is the proprietor of a bar in Detroit. She realizes that virtually all of her customers are unemployed alcoholics and, as such, can no longer afford to patronize her bar. To solve this problem, she comes up with new marketing plan that allows her customers to drink now, but pay later.
She keeps track of the drinks consumed on a ledger (thereby granting the customers loans).
Word gets around about Heidi's "drink now, pay later" marketing strategy and, as a result, increasing numbers of customers flood into Heidi's bar. Soon she has the largest sales volume for any bar in Detroit.
By providing her customers' freedom from immediate payment demands, Heidi gets no resistance when, at regular intervals, she substantially increases her prices for wine and beer, the most consumed beverages. Consequently, Heidi's gross sales volume increases massively.
A young and dynamic vice-president at the local bank recognizes that these customer debts constitute valuable future assets and increases Heidi's borrowing limit. He sees no reason for any undue concern, since he has the debts of the unemployed alcoholics as collateral.
At the bank's corporate headquarters, expert traders transform these customer loans into DRINKBONDS, ALKIBONDS and PUKEBONDS. These securities are then bundled and traded on international security markets. Naive investors don't really understand that the securities being sold to them as AAA secured bonds are really the debts of unemployed alcoholics.
Nevertheless, the bond prices continuously climb, and the securities soon become the hottest-selling items for some of the nation's leading brokerage houses.
One day, even though the bond prices are still climbing, a risk manager at the original local bank decides that the time has come to demand payment on the debts incurred by the drinkers at Heidi's bar. He so informs Heidi.
Heidi then demands payment from her alcoholic patrons, but being unemployed alcoholics they cannot pay back their drinking debts. Since, Heidi cannot fulfill her loan obligations she is forced into bankruptcy. The bar closes and the eleven employees lose their jobs.
Overnight, DRINKBONDS, ALKIBONDS and PUKEBONDS drop in price by 90%. The collapsed bond asset value destroys the banks liquidity and prevents it from issuing new loans, thus freezing credit and economic activity in the community.
The suppliers of Heidi's bar had granted her generous payment extensions and had invested their firms' pension funds in the various BOND securities. They find they are now faced with having to write off her bad debt and with losing over 90% of the presumed value of the bonds. Her wine supplier also claims bankruptcy, closing the doors on a family business that had endured for three generations, her beer supplier is taken over by a competitor, who immediately closes the local plant and lays off 150 workers.
Fortunately though, the bank, the brokerage houses and their respective executives are saved and bailed out by a multi-billion dollar no-strings attached cash infusion from the Government. The funds required for this bailout are obtained by new taxes levied on employed, middle-class, non-drinkers.
Now, do you understand?
WTHPUPPETOTUSPOS? Panic has set in.............this causes irrational actions. Watch us spend trillions WE DON"T HAVE and propose gazillions in Healthcare we can't afford. Pass TARP without reading it, this is frinking nutz. Debt up the ying yang laughing at Geitner in Beijing. WOW unbelievable, how 4:20 is your short term memory? The sincerity of this announcement is overwhelming and just makes one feel totally confident that the teleprompter is on it.
"I got me double date, I not so lonely no more! Stupid weak Americans! I laugh so hard, I double dawg dare you to come get my girlfriends."
No seriously if Algore goes over there and tries to negotiate, they'll kidnap him also and force him to give up manbearpig!
Hoping that they will release Laura and Euna on humanitarian reasons is a joke! The PUPPETOTUSPOS just doesn't have the experience AGAIN to deal with this situation. Talking won't get them back, let's see what the world gives up for these kidnapped ladies.
Algore has to bear responsibility and go over there and offer himself in exchange for those young ladies' freedom. Man up AL! Give it up for the team, it could help him for his next Presidential run.
If the current admin. in charge grew some cojones, they could solve this in mere moments. Since you can see on Google Earth the only working toilet in NKorea, you tell monkey boy Kim Dong ILL, you have 2 hrs. to release Algore's employees or we melt you and your toilet together.
Bow down and kneel before the PUPPETOTUSPOS a living god.
This is the moronic, ignorant, idiot media that convinced the sheeple to vote for PUPPETOTUSPOS. Watch out, they are hyping the healthcare issue as some kind of crisis, don't let them fool you again. It isn't a crisis at all..............., if they control the health industry................., freedom go bye-bye!
NEWSFLASH: The socialists got hammered in EUROPE! Where is the US media reporting this? Fascism, socialism, communism, they figured out in the EU it ain't working. WHERE IN THE &*% IS THE MEDIA? Remember the EU is enlightened WHERE IS THE *^*(&^* USA MEDIA.
The teleprompter of the US in France today just said:
"Totalitarianism is competing point of view."
"WWII was essential."
"History is the sum total of actions and events."
Very deep stuff, thank you. Very moving, the crowd was mesmerized.
