Our U.S. House of Representatives will be voting on Cap and Trade today or tomorrow so contact Chet Edward's office if you live in the 17th district and ask him to vote against this costly piece of legislation. It puts way too much power in the hands of the federal government and imposes restriction on energy that will increase what you pay for fuel and electricity.
I would support ways to decrease environmental hazards and increase our use of renewable resources, but this legislation is not the means to accomplish those goals.
I just called Representative Edwards Washington office and was told by staff that he does in fact oppose this bill, but we'll see what happens when the votes are cast. Call or email his office to make sure he knows where his constituents stand on this.
