Call your Senator now. Heavy duty, evil, bad voodoo shit is going on in
the U.S. Senate as you read this. Call your senators now before it's too late. The worst polluters on the planet are trying to shove regulators out of the way today and win free reign to dump greenhouse gases into our air.
The debate is underway already on the Senate floor. Alaska Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski's resolution to strip the Environmental Protection Agency of regulatory authority over greenhouse gas emissions could very well pass. The Republicans and other minions of Big Coal, Big Oil and Big Electric are behind the resolution. That means some Democrats are likely to support the resolution.
Tune into C-SPAN 2 for more.
In fact, I called the office of my only non-alcoholic senator, Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill, and issued the sternest warning against siding with oil lapdog Murkowski and the Palin-clone Neanderthals pushing this resolution. McCaskill has been very cozy with coal interests and is one of the reasons we don't yet have a climate and energy bill. (My other senator, Kit Bond, is a paid-for, foregone, too-far-gone case of fossil fool.)
If McCaskill fucks up today's vote like she fucked over the Public Option behind the scenes, her re-election bid is toast. I and many other Missouri progressives will see to it with the kind of home-grown enthusiasm that could make even an Arkansas senator blanch.
