    Cap and Trade (HR2454) is as important, when comparison to the National Health Care (HR3200) bill. Why you ask? Because in the 'business as usual' the federal government continues to pull the same crap. Keep the people watching the left hand while the right runs another slight of hand.

    Both are designed by the Democrat controlled Congress and House of Representatives. The liberal media has us looking at ObamaCare hoping we don't see what else is going on. It has been that way for the last forty years.

    The Republican Party is trying to rally against HR2454, but as stated, we are not told this. It is up to "We the People" to dig deep and spread the word. The government knows that the more issues that are thrown into the pot, the less people have time to resource.

    Keep us busy trying to raise a family, pay the bills, keep a roof over our heads, clothes on our backs and food on the table. That, my friend, has been our elected officals outlook for years. So long as the government can -will and do- this, the less likely the hard working LEGAL populus will have time or energy to devote to seeing the screwing WE are taking.

    If this country is to regain the status as the most powerful nation on earth, "We the People" need to make that time and sacrafice to bring the United States of America back on track.

    Republicans know there are not enough radical Democrats to pass the cap and trade tax in the Senate. 1 of the 2 current health care bills being considered right now might get passed and that would be bad news. This country can not afford either of those bills. The Dems keeping saying the Reps do not have anything to offer, well the Reps should write a bill and submit it too. I do not know why they haven't.

    Health care, once it is enacted is impossible to legislate out of being. Cap and Trade an easily be taken off the books in a republican controlled congress.

    The Senate hasn't even started on its version of Cap and Trade yet... They already have 2 health care bills floating out there.

    Hard to focus on everything. The health care is what is going on now, thus the focus
