They need to hear from us. May 6th and every day is CALL IN day to Congress. But there are several key Democrats that really need some pushing on a climate bill. You can read about this action here and get the list of congressmen to call, their phone numbers, and even a script.

Newt Gingrich spent some time in Congress last month misleading the American people and Congress on the economics of climate legislation. There were some mild fireworks, but there need to be more. I play a segment of that.

The government can fund all the new energy it wants, but people need to get those dividend checks from the tax and dividend or cap and trade legislation that is passed. That is what the Larsen bill and the Van Hollen bill describe. So mention those two bills when you call your Congressmen and it doesn't have to be today that you call, you can and hopefully will call them at any point from now until we get some legislation, So, please visit my website for the links to get the names and phone numbers of these key democrats who should be contacted.

Good climate bills:

Larsen Bill H.R. 1337 -- America's Energy Security Trust Fund Act of 2009

Van Hollen Bill H.R. 1862: -- Cap and Dividend Act of 2009

Read these two bills, they are better than the cap and trade bill!

China IS studying carbon tax ideas, despite what Newt Claims.
