Climate Change Vote Could Come Tomorrow

  The vote on the climate change bill could come tomorrow and according to this story the Democrats feel that they are within 12 votes of passage.

  Let’s hope that this is as close as this legislation gets to passage. Conservatives and Blue Dog Democrats need to hold firm and not give in to the pressure that is being applied to them by Nancy Pelosi.

  The bill needs 218 votes to pass and according to the article that I linked to above Nancy Pelosi is hoping to get 230 votes so that the Blue Dogs will be able to vote against it and save their jobs in the 2010 election.

  It looks like this is going  to be a close vote and let’s hope that the conservative Republicans and Blue Dog Democrats hold true and are not swayed by either threats or promises.

  The best chance that we have to stop this bill is in the House of Representatives, if it makes it to the senate we are all screwed. There is still time to make your voice heard. Call and email your representatives immediately and voice your displeasure. Let them know that you will not sit idly by in 2010 if they vote for the largest tax increase in history.
