First of all, when I called Kingston's office earlier today - they told me that the Congressman was "swaying" toward voting No on this bill. Since then, the answer has changed according to many reports I have received today. I have had several people e-mail me that after calling, the staffer has said that Kingston will be voting No. That change was made a mere few hours after I had checked in on him. (That's the last time I assume he will automatically vote against these crazy taxes.) So, Good job, everyone!
It seems that due to the pressures on Congress regarding this bill, they have decided to push it back into the smaller committees rather than risk a full House vote at this time. They probably think that we'll quit paying attention after a while - let's prove to them that the days of us not paying attention are over. The sooner we can kill this bill the better.
The following is an e-mail update that I have received from http://teapartypatriots.org.
The Cap & Trade (ACES) Act has been referred to eight committees;these are the targets we need to focus on right now. Basically, wefeel that Waxman doesn’t have enough votes to pass HR 2454 on thefloor so it has been moved into these committees.
Why is this bill being put back into committees?
Could it be there are sweetheart deals being cooked up to get thispassed?
Tell the committees NO government limits on our rights to consume!
NO to HR 2454 (ACES)!
