When Will Hunting Season on Michigan Jobs End?
Would someone please quit shooting and killing Michigan Jobs!!! PLEASE!!!
h/t Congressman Mike Rogers (R-Michigan) e-mail blast;
You’ll never believe it.
The Democrat Congress just rammed through San Francisco Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s plan to cap carbon dioxide emissions and trade those emissions on Wall Street. This amounts to a MASSIVE NEW NATIONAL ENERGY TAX. Some are calling it the biggest tax increase in American history.
The Detroit News has said “cap and trade” will “sink Michigan.” A Michigan utility company said it will RAISE YOUR ELECTRIC BILL BY $500 A YEAR. The Heritage Foundation has said it will kill 50,000 jobs in Michigan.
Every Democrat Member of Congress from Michigan voted yes on the bill. Every Republican from Michigan voted no. The bill is now being debated in the Senate.
NOW THE UNIONS ARE RUNNING TV ADS IN MY DISTRICT SUPPORTING “CAP AND TRADE.” The same unions who’s members jobs will be decimated by this bill. HELP ME FIGHT BACK! Donate $25, $50 or $100 now!
We are in the worst economy in a generation and people can barely afford to pay their bills. The Democrats‘ solution? Higher bills. Higher gasoline prices, higher natural gas bills, and literally everything you buy will be more expensive.
You haven’t even heard the worse part.
I and other Republicans tried to change the bill. My amendment said the whole “cap and trade” regime had to be scrapped if India and China failed to enact a similar scheme. Democrats said no.
We had amendments to scrap the bill if unemployment went above 15%. Democrats said no. If gasoline prices went above $5 a gallon. Again, Democrats said no.
HELP ME STAND UP TO THE RADICAL ENVIRONMENTALISTS AND UNIONS SUPPORTING CAP AND TRADE.
As always, thank you for your support and friendship. If you haven’t already, I strongly encourage you to contact Michigan’s U.S. Senators to ensure your views on this massive, new energy tax are heard.
Mike Rogers
Member of Congress
PS, This is a recent e-mail as of July 14, 2009. I felt this was too important to wait until e-box was updated and cleaned up.

All You Need to Know About Michigan Redneck
Welcome to the home of barstool politics!
Michigan Redneck is a former Republican Loyalist, who is now a Libertarian minded chick. She loves the USA and will do all she can to keep this republic a republic. She loves Rockabilly music, clothes, decor and Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer, but is not a hipster. She grew up in the Flint, Michigan area and is currently living in the Upper Peninsula. She is a blue collar worker who is eligible for many gubmint handouts who refuses to sign up for these programs. She pays her bills according to which utility threatens to shut her off first. She struggles was raised that to get what she wants and needs, work for it.
Her political views lean towards Fiscal Conservative. Believes the gubmint needs to get out of the way and let the free market work. Believes both of the two main political parties need to get out of the business of social issues. In this blog I will alert readers of what is going on around them in my outside the box way. I WILL call out hypocrites, from all sides of the aisle.
