Lunacracy in Action - Drive ‘em If You Got ‘em, Congress Puts American Trucks On Endagered Species List, Let’s Return the Favor

The US House passed the EISA (anti-)Energy bill today by a vote of 314 to 100. This is the bill that I wrote on last week when the US Senate passed the bill with Sen. Norm Coleman’s (Sierra Club MN) help.
The bill includes the new 35-miles-per-gallon standard, a huge increase in the use of ethanol and new energy efficiency standards for appliances and building construction.
“This legislation is a historic turning point in energy policy,” said Majority Leader Steny Hoyer of Maryland because it will cut demand for foreign oil and promote nonfossil fuels that will cut greenhouse gases linked to global warming.
It is a turning point alright. Our society may have just reached its peek in productivity. These new laws are in effect, caps on production and consumption, not to mention designed on faulty and junk science. The mandates that passed in this bill are unsustainable, and likely impossible to meet…. unless we make drastic reductions in our way of life.
Rep. Michele Bachmann (R MN6) & Rep. John Kline (R MN2) did not vote to end the American way of life as we know it. I will proudly haul their lawnsigns this year, should they need the help. Many thanks go out from me to both of them for standing on grounded principles and common sense and opposing this non sense EISA bill.
Sen. Coleman, on the otherhand, will need to find someone else to distribute his lawnsigns in Blaine and Anoka County, because I ain’t gonna do it. He wants to do away with my truck, as well as the trucks of millions of other Americans, so he can go pound the rebar himself. Of course this will greatly peturb the Party loyalists, and I don’t care. I have my principles, and they obviously mean far more to me than they do to Sen. Coleman it appears.
Politicians will never learn from the devastating impacts of their legislation unless it hits them personally.
I encourage everyone to contact the White House and urge a veto by the President. Then contact Coleman’s campaign office and tell him you and your truck or SUV have better things to do when he needs ya for his reelection campaign next Summer and Fall.
How’s this for a new CAFE standard?

End the Lunacracy!
Let Them Live With “Their” Policies
(Closed Circuit to Chief: This would be a great time to come up with a nifty logo if you have time. I have ideas in my head if you have nothing else to do.)

Not helping your candidates as an elected member of your BPOU? Sounds good asshat, grow up!!
If people saw you putting up Norm’s signs it would probably cost Norm votes!!

First, BPOUs are only responsible for the local official election, everything else is subject to the agreement of the BPOUs to help. He’s not “your candidate” until he is endorsed and he ain’t endorsed at the BPOU level.
Second,
Andy you should change the headline to - “Congress decides that political correctness is more important than people’s lives.”
How do you make cars get better gas mileage, make them smaller and lighter.
What makes a vehicle less safe - being smaller and lighter.
Who cares if we put kids in these vehicles at risk, remember we are doing it for the children.
