Environmentalists, lobbyists, and special interests will gain new influence in Washington under legislation to fight global warming. Complete the email below to tell Senators Baucus and Tester and Representative Rehberg you oppose politically-motivated energy policies.
	Sen. Max Baucus Sen. Jon Tester Rep. Denny Rehberg       Subject:        The American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 will put Washington in charge of what type of electricity will be used. Politicians will bypass American entrepreneurs, and with the help of environmentalists, lobbyists, and earmarks, select the energy technologies Montanans will be required to use. A partial list of objectionable provisions to be finalized in backroom deals includes: - Development of a new federal renewable electricity standard, - New, yet to be established standards, for outdoor light bulbs, table lamps, water dispensers, commercial hot food cabinets, hot tubs, - Rebates to be awarded to developers of certain types of technology, - A new bureaucracy to award grants, contracts, and financial assistance to "eligible entities," - Subsidies for preferred vehicle types and manufacturers, - Two new bureaucracies to administer yet to be determined rules relating to eligibility, requirements, and approval for carbon offset projects, - Tax rebates for unspecified industries affected by rising energy costs will be handed out by the Obama Administration, - Grants to study global warming, - Foreign aid grants for developing countries to alter their energy usage, and - Unspecified subsidies for state, local and tribal governments. New energy taxes will be used to fund the unprecedented expansion of federal government that will increase the influence of lobbyists and diminish Montanans' freedom, way of life, and well-being.     Please personalize your letter for greater impact!
