This resolution disapproving the expanding powers given the EPA to regulate greenhouse gases was defeated

in the senate by a vote of 53 - to 47. Even if it had passed in the senate President Obama was prepared to

veto the resolution.

[carol ann parisi]

Lisa Murkowski's (SJ Res. 26) --
a resolution that would have removed any authority the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) had in enacting
mandates, taxes and fees based on the greenhouse gas
findings was defeated Thursday by a vote of 53-47.

According to reports, all Republicans supported the
amendment, along with six Democrats, including: Sens.
Blanche Lincoln and Mark Pryor (D-AR), Evan Bayh,
(D-IN), Mary Landrieu (D-LA) Jay Rockefeller, (D-WV),
and Ben Nelson (D-NE).

The loss opens the door for President Obama to usurp
the authority of the Senate to enact his massive
Climate Change legislation by pushing it though the
EPA under the "Clean Air Act."

As one global warming proponent said, "Passage of the
[Murkowski] resolution would have dealt a severe blow
to Obama's plan to pass climate change legislation this
year."


If your Democrat Senators were not among those listed
above, call them today and express your anger over
their vote and support of Obama's Climate Change plan.

+ + Emboldened Obama to Push Climate Change Legislation

There's no question that this vote will embolden Obama
to aggressively push his "Cap and Tax" climate legislation
in the weeks to come.

We must be ready to counter and short-circuit his actions
by rallying support against legislation that has been
described by some experts as an "economic death blow"
resulting in lost jobs and skyrocketing annual taxes.

Please spread the word to your freedom loving freinds and family urging
them to join with you against Obama's coming "Cap and Tax"
