Eugene from AlaskaThis bill will affect my job, increase my home utility costs and not properly address the issues associated with the title. Given our present economic environment, I have to ask how can Congress pass a bill which will reduce our energy output and kill jobs?

Jack from Tennessee
I am a Vietnam Veteran and am proud of having served my country. What I see the government representatives doing to my country makes me sick. When you stop representing the wishes of your constituents and do not support our constitution then you loose the support of our the people.

Gerry from Tennessee
I am a petroleum geologist of some 50 years. I am a visiting lecturer at Vanderbilt Univ. I campaigned for Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan. That is my story. Climate and energy have been my life.

Norma from Tennessee
Please do not pass the legislation before Congress that is called the Cap and Trade Bill. This will destroy jobs and raise taxes on the ordinary citizens of this country. We have extra-ordinary amounts of energy in our country, but congress refuses to allow us to use that energy. Absolutely stupid!

David from Tennessee
I work for the State Air Pollution Control Agency. I think the global warming concept is not true and wonder why the evidence that shows that and the experts who say global warming is incorrect are ignored by others (the media).

Calvin from New Mexico
Let’s put the shoe on the other foot, what if we quit paying taxes, let’s put the governmental FREELOADERS on the same boat. I realize that things would do nothing but get worse, WE ARE HEADED THAT DIRECTION NOW!! If this bill is passed as is, my coworkers, as well as I, will be one of many others joining the unemployment line. Don’t get me wrong, this is a good bill, BUT IT NEEDS TO BE REFINED.

Richard from New Mexico
I work in the oil and gas industry in South Eastern New Mexico. It has been hard these last few months to stay a float. I do not know what would happen to my job security if this bill passes. If I loose my job, how would I support my family?

Greg from New Mexico
Whether you believe in climate change or not, and what is really driving it, we have to have energy now while we work on new cleaner energy sources. The legislation now being considered by our elected officials does absolutely nothing to support the use of the natural resources (natural gas, coal, or nuclear) inside our own country to get us by until the “green jobs” materialize.

David from Texas
I provided Obama this same information when he asked people to provide him questions when he had the first e-town hall, but it was not supportive of cap & trade so it never came up. This tax and trade bill is not an energy bill. It’s a tax surcharge like Carter’s Windfall Profits Bill that collected hundreds of billions of dollars from the E&P sector and God knows where it was spent.

Judith from Illinois
We are a family of 5, last year we had to turn our gas off due to gas bills of $600 to $800 per month, we were fortunate to have a wood burner in our family room which we used all the time, we also had to purchase low energy heaters to help keep our house warm, even so our electric bill was around $300 a month, are we to choose between being able to use electricity or be able to eat this year, our highly paid Senators do not have to worry about this, we the taxpayers do.
