Morning Briefing for June 26, 2009

JUNE 26, 2009

Sign up to get the morning briefing by email here.

This is an unusual morning briefing today.

There is only one thing you need to know: the Democrats had an emergency meeting last night and will be meeting again this morning because they have not yet rounded up all the votes to pass their anti-growth Cap and Trade legislation.

They are very close.

Here is a list of the Democrats who need pressuring. They are arranged by state.

Here is a list of the Republicans who need pressuring.

As always, you can go to http://www.redstate.com/action to find out your Congressman’s direct phone number.

Call and encourage your Congressman to vote no on H.R. 2454 — the cap and trade “global warming” legislation.

Democrat John Dingell (D-MI) says H.R. 2454 is “a tax and it’s a great big one.”

Democrat Charlie Melancon (D-LA) says, “I believe this bill would create an undue burden on families who are already paying too much in energy bills.”

Democrat Mike Ross (D-AR) says of Cap and Trade, “‘If you don’t like $4-a-gallon gasoline, you’re really not going to like your electric bill sometime between now and 2030.”

That’s what you need to know for today. Now get on the phone and encourage others to get on the phone.
