A chance to intensify our fight in the war declared against us.

Fortunately for we suffering citizens of the United States, the Senate has delayed discussions of the disgusting cap-and-trade. For now:

President Barack Obama’s push for quick action by Congress on climate change legislation suffered a setback on Thursday when the U.S. Senate committee leading the drive delayed work on the bill until September.

Senate Environment and Public Works Committee Chairman Barbara Boxer said her self-imposed deadline of early August for finishing writing a bill to combat global warming has been put off until after Congress returns from a recess that ends in early September.

“We’ll do it as soon as we get back” from that break, Boxer told reporters. Asked if this delay jeopardizes chances the Senate will pass a bill this year, Boxer said, “Not a bit … we’ll be in (session) until Christmas, so I’m not worried about it.”

But Boxer did not guarantee Congress will be able to finish a bill and deliver it to Obama by December, when he plans to attend an international summit on climate change in Copenhagen.

A good rule of thumb holds that if Barbara Boxer supports something, it's probably a bad idea.

And, no, Babs, I'm not calling you "senator." "Disgrace to Western Civilization," maybe, but never "senator." There is no requirement that I or anyone else call you "senator." Do something about it.

Hot Air has analysis:

Two weeks ago, when the House barely pushed this through a vote, Barack Obama’s poll numbers still looked good enough to imply that there may not be consequences for hobbling the economy with ludicrous taxes, fees, and penalties for energy production. With his poll numbers eroding quickly and the electorate losing patience with high unemployment and Porkulus’ failure, that doesn’t seem like a safe bet any more. As the economy continues to drag, cap-and-trade will look more like a disaster than the mythical one it purports to avoid.

The Democrats simply don’t have the votes now on cap-and-trade, and unless the economy suddenly lurches back to life, the political situation will be worse in September. That doesn’t mean we can let up on the pressure, as Michelle says. Keep calling your Senators to tell them that a vote for cap-and-trade means adding to the unemployment lines — starting with themselves.

Once again, let's be clear on this, children. Cap-and-trade is the most vile piece of legislation ever considered by Congress. By cap-and-trade, Congress has declared war on you, the American people.


Every single lawmaker who supports cap-and-trade is an enemy of the Republic.

Do what must be done. Do not hesitate. Show no mercy.

Via Michelle Malkin, Temple of Mut has a list of Key Cap and Trade Senate Targets. Keep the pressure on them. Let them know that a vote for cap-and-trade, or even a vote for cloture on cap-and-trade, will be a betrayal of the American people of the highest order, amounting to treason, because cap-and-trade is designed and is even fully intended to hurt the American people.

Because that's what it will be.

Passage of cap-and-trade by our elected officials in Washington, who hold themselves out as servants of the American public, is utterly inexcusable.

it would be a declaration of war on the same people they purport to serve. Fight now to stop them.
