Letter To My Senators Regarding Cap and Trade.

Feel free to copy and send to your Senators.

Dear Senator,

The upcoming legislation proposed by Senators Lieberman and Warner is bad for Americans, including Kansans. Recent research published by the Heritage Foundation shows this Bill would lower wages and salaries by over $800 (in real terms), cost over 5,000 jobs, and cost the state over $1.1 Billion in lost production. The truly alarming fact is these are big numbers for a small state. This Bill could cost Texas over 41,000 jobs!

Perhaps the most disturbing element of this bill is the underlying tax that will be paid by industry. As with anything, if you want less of it, tax it. This Bill will give us just that, less industry. Who will bear the cost of this tax? Consumers. Our standard of living will decrease and the prosperity that we enjoy today will begin a steady decline. I do not want that for my family and future generations and I do not believe you do either.

We cannot let the radical environmentalists take this country and our government hostage. The Lieberman-Warner Act is bad policy that must be defeated.

Respectfully yours,
