Supposedly right now he's saying he wants to vote 'No', but only if the bill has enough votes to win. Don't let him take the coward's way out, give him a call.

This thing will kill jobs by the millions, destroy the coal industry, cause our energy bills to skyrocket, and further the attack on capitalism.

Representative Perriello,

HR 2454, the "Cap-and-Trade" bill scheduled to come before you for a vote very soon, is nothing more than a thinly disguised energy tax that will hit every single American.

Energy companies will pass the costs of their new regulations through to consumers in the form of huge price increases, meaning higher electric bills, gas prices, and increased costs across the board.

Barack Obama has estimated the costs of this legislation to American taxpayers to be over 650 BILLION dollars over the next eight years, and that figure is no doubt just a fraction of the real cost.

But even that modest estimate amounts to hundreds of dollars a year in increased living expenses for every family -- and will more likely cost thousands a year.

Higher costs of doing business also means companies will be forced to lay off more workers. This current economic crisis is no time for Congress to consider both raising prices on hard-working Americans AND costing them their jobs.

As your constituent, I strongly urge you to stand up for the American people by opposing HR 2454.

were you guys listening to Rush? He was just talking about this. Some guy from Roanoke called in and said he had been bugging Goodlatte all morning and that Goodlatte, a republican, had "no stance" on this bill. Well, I'm glad you got elected to not have opinions you pudwacker.

[Covert Hawk]

I believe that Lynchburg is part of his district, although I am not positive.

Here is his information so that more people can bug him:

According to this website, Perriello is a "solid yes." We must keep the pressure up, the vote is going to take place between 6:30 and 7:30

Twitter feed from Jamie Dupree:

House GOP Leader Boehner using "magic minute" at end of debate - has spoken for 20 mins - chair upholds his right - despite Dem grumbling

Boehner is reading various parts of the bill in a mocking voice - just delaying the inevitable,; now at p. 97 of almost 1100; Dems steaming

Ha. That's just mean spirited. I appreciate that.

[flamesfilmguy]

I'm currently watching on CSPAN and that part was hilarious. p.s Nancy P is an idiot.

The Bill passed by seven votes

The Bill passed by seven votes

8 republicans voted for it. They will no doubt not be held responsible by the voters

[The Dude]

I hope everyone that voted for Obama and these Dems takes it up the ying-yang.

CHANGE! .... Yeah, they're gonna get change alright.

[Covert Hawk]

Perriello voted for the bill. Bob Goodlatte did not. Here is a link to find out if your representative voted for it or not...

By all appearances, the House is about to vote on a very long bill of which it has no completed official copy.

Texas Republican Reps. Joe Barton and Louie Gohmert have just asked the chair whether there exists a complete, updated copy of the Waxman-Markey carbon-cap bill.

"If a bill for which there is no copy were to actually pass this body," Barton asked, "could the bill without a copy be sent to the Senate for its consideration?"

Through a series of parliamentary inquiries, the Republicans learned that the 300-plus page managers' amendment, added to the bill last night in the House Rules Committee, has not even been been integrated with the official copy of the 1,090-page bill at the House Clerk's desk, let alone in any other location. The two documents are side-by-side at the desk as the clerk reads through the instructions in the 300 page document for altering the 1,090 page document.

But they cannot be simply combined, because the amendment contains 300 pages of items like this: "Page 15, beginning line 8, strike paragraph (11)..." How many members of Congress do you suppose have gone through it all to see how it changes the bill?

Global Warming is apparently so urgent that we can't even wait until members of Congress know what they're voting on.

It's silly that politics has turned a governing body to function like this. And it's been this way for longer than I've been alive, but is it that hard to pretend like they do things that make sense? They vote on 1000+ page Bills after only a couple days when everybody knows that not one single person could have read what they're voting on and throw in alterations on a separate page to make it impossible to understand. The house is such a laugher. I think the founding fathers created it as kind of a joke.
