This is how Colorado’s Reps of the US House of Representatives voted on HR 2454 – The cap and trade legislation.
| Aye | CO-1 | DeGette, Diana [D] |
| Aye | CO-2 | Polis, Jared [D] |
| No | CO-3 | Salazar, John [D] |
| Aye | CO-4 | Markey, Betsy [D] |
| No | CO-5 | Lamborn, Doug [R] |
| No | CO-6 | Coffman, Mike [R] |
| Aye | CO-7 | Perlmutter, Ed [D] |
I know for certain that none of the ‘Aye’ voters even bothered to read the bill. Neither did they do their homework on the ramifications to businesses across the country should the bill pass in the Senate. Obama himself has been quoted as saying “Electricity rates will necessarly skyrocket”. Why would any congressman in their right mind think that massive tax hikes would be a good idea when the country is in a severe recession. There are a few congressman like Ed Perlmutter, for example, that don’t care about Colorado. Perlmutter only cares about control over people. As his voting record shows he thinks that big government is the answer to everything. He is absolutely wrong and so are the other members of congress that keep pushing for bigger government scams. Cap and Trade is one of the biggest scams on the floor of Congress and must be stopped. Cap and Trade will not help the environment and will only line the pockets of a selected few corporations. One of the main concerns should be the number of businesses forced to close or relocate to a better market outside of the US. Somewhere with less regulations. But even more important will be the drop in living standards due to higher prices. I highly recommend that people contact their Senators; Sen. Bennet, Michael [D], Sen. Udall, Mark [D] immediately to put an end to this. Unless of course you are willing to pay a lot higher prices for everything, then do nothing.
