Grassfire.net reports on an upcoming piece of Al Gore's scare campaign on climate change:
According to CNSNews.com, Al Gore has launched an advertising campaign that will play out in theatres across the nation urging moviegoers to do their part to "mitigate the 'climate crisis'".
The animated short "Sky is Falling" features a billion elephants falling from the sky and the subsequent havoc they wreck on the planet. The video concludes saying, "It's time to stop ignoring the 1.2 billion elephants in the room."
This is the kind of intimidation and scare tactic set to capture the minds of many citizens who will blindly follow the climate hysteria like sheep.
How cute. How wrong. Don't fall for it.
Senator Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) has offered a bill that would effectively grant the authority of state and local law enforcement agencies to investigate, identify, and apprehend illegal immigrants to enforce federal immigration laws. Given the federal government's almost total failure to protect Americans, this bill is very important. State and local law enforcement is often more knowledgeable about specific areas of trouble, and are on the front lines of battle in crimes committed by illegal aliens. Also, they are more likely to protect their home turf than federal agents. Call your Senators and urge them to support Chambliss' bill, the Effective Immigration Enforcement Partnerships Act of 2008 (S 2717). To learn more and to take action, click here.
An important message on taxes:
How exactly do higher taxes help lower energy costs? (Hint: They don't.)
It's one question the Democrat leadership in Congress can't answer, no matter how long they talk.
The truth is, the tax and spend crowd is just looking for ways to increase taxes on American consumers by targeting domestic energy production. At a time when already high energy costs are weighing heavy on this country's economy, and when signs are indicating that even more trouble may be ahead, why would Congress seek to pass legislation that will raise prices and increase financial hardships by strangling America's energy supply? Congress should be looking to cut taxes, not increase them. Higher energy prices won't avert or minimize a recession. They'll do just the opposite.
Tax increases like those passed through the House (including bills that violated the Taxpayer Protection Pledge) would stifle investment, and the domestic energy it produces. One chief target of the left is the destruction of Section 199 of the tax code, which would chase away capital now being invested here at home by America's oil and natural gas producers. The right way to promote the use of alternative energy is not limiting access to new domestic energy sources of oil and natural gas, or imposing new taxes on the U.S. oil and gas industry. Such an approach will not help supply stable and affordable energy to satisfy the demands of American families, especially at a time when Americans are already struggling in today's economic slowdown.
What it will do is help push the economy over the precipice into deep recession by driving up the costs of driving our cars, heating our homes and creating jobs.
In addition, raising taxes on domestic energy makes U.S. oil and natural gas exploration projects less competitive globally, discouraging new U.S. production and increasing our reliance on imported oil. As if that weren't damaging enough, almost all large oil and gas companies are publicly-traded entities, whose shares are owned by millions of investors through their 401(k) plans, IRAs and pension funds. Taxing away the retirement earnings of these millions of Americans won't help anyone except the taxman.
This is plain common sense. Higher taxes=bad news. Go here to take action with thousands of your fellow citizens.
Rep. Walter Jones (R-NC) has proposed a critical piece of legislation (H.R. 4987) that would restore the original double-layered fence mandate that was gutted by certain members of the Senate months ago. Just another attempt to actually build the thing...contact your Rep to support it!
These are all issues upon which you can have a direct impact. It doesn't take long - just follow the links, fill in some info, and click a button. It takes less than a minute. If you have a few minutes to spare, you might even consider calling your Senators and Representative and tell them your thoughts. You have no idea how important it is for you to do that.
There's my two cents.
