I sent this to Rep. John Linder a Republicon. He is a racist yet I feel compelled to let him know where we stand. Of course he will send me a form letter reply. This guy is so dumb that Goober Pyle couldn't hold a conversation with him. So much for a Representative. We need to pass this legislation

Re: Support for H R 1337 America's Energy Security Trust Fund Act of 2009
Representative Linder:

Please cosponsor H.R. 1337, America's Energy Security Trust Fund Act of 2009

The science is clear: without swift and bold action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, our planet is in peril of warming to levels that will increase weather extremes and seriously damage fresh water supplies, agriculture, coastlines, human health, ecosystems, and international security.

We need a "cap, tax, and rebate" system that will set an emissions cap, tax the carbon burned, and return the revenue to consumers.

H.R. 1337, America's Energy Security Trust Fund Act of 2009, does just that: It sets a cap of allowable carbon dioxide emissions to 80 percent below 2005 levels by 2050; charges producers an increasing tax per ton to get there, and returns well over 90 percent of the revenue to the consumer. The remaining money goes to helping the most heavily impacted employees and industries transition to the new green economy, and to fund clean energy technologies.

This bill creates a long-term predictable price on carbon that provides a stable incentive for low-carbon investments and innovation, and avoids the price volatility of a carbon market.

Please let me know if you will be able to cosponsor this bill.
