Rapid Response Team Event Support

You can't be there but you want to help? Here's how!

Event Date & Time: Tuesday, May 19th, at 11 a.m. CST

Committee Representative in Charge: Gail Kaciuba

Demonstration Target: Representative Charlie Gonzalez's office

Subject: Stop “Cap and Trade”

AKA House bill HR2454, The American Clean Energy and Security Act. Cap And Trade Cost Per Family = $4,000 Per Year! An MIT professor by the name of Reilly estimated that "the amount of tax collected" through companies would equal $3,128 per household--and "Those costs do get passed to consumers and income earners in one way or another"--but those costs have "nothing to do with the real cost" to the economy. Reilly assumes that the $3,128 will be "returned" to each household. Without that assumption, Reilly wrote, "the cost would then be the Republican estimate [$3,128] plus the cost I estimate [$800]." (http://weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/016/412cwueq.asp?pg=1). Our CPS bills will shoot through the roof!
