Stop the Energy Tax
Call your Congressman at the main U.S. House of Representatives switchboard at 202-224-3121.
Before, moderate rural Democrats in the U.S. House were standing up to Nancy Pelosi in opposition to the “cap and trade” National Energy Tax (H.R. 2454). They know how harmful this massive tax will be. But now, she’s been able to strong arm a number of them into a deal, and a vote may happen by Friday, June 26th.
This national energy tax would possibly be the largest tax increase in American history, it would cause gas and electricity prices to skyrocket, and add to our already spiraling federal deficit. We simply cannot afford this.
Our representatives must hear from us before Friday, and we must urge them to vote against H.R. 2454.
Your call today could change the game.
