For all us deniers

Of global warming. Check this link out. Good info and you can make a difference:







Congress is moving quickly to pass a $1.2 trillion Global Warming Tax that is based on unfounded science and could cripple our economy. A vote is expected before summer.



I just signed a petition and am asking you to join me.

Please go here:

I think it's too late. The bandwagon is big and people are jumping on it in droves.

I'm not so sure that it's going to cripple our economy, there are still too many of us busting our asses out here for that to happen. I do believe that the government is going to throw our money away on programs that might look good at face value but really have no substance. By the time we collectively realize that we've been shafted there won't be anyone to hold accountable.

People are already taking part in these short sighted, hair brain schemes that do more harm than good. These compact florecents are a prime example. We're strongly encouraged to use them but we aren't told how to properly dispose of them so that we don't introduce tons of mercury into the soil.

We've shown them that we'll pay a lot for gas. They figure they can squeeze a few bucks out of us, in the name of saving the planet. Then it'll cost us even more to fix the things that we screwed up, in the name of saving the planet.

Hold on to your wallet. We're in for a bumpy ride!

Al Gore is an idiot and online petitions are just a plain waste of time.

Well you got the first part right. Grassfire is a good organization, and it's better than sitting on your hands and ACTUALLY doing nothing.

Wait, I thought Al Gore lived in a 4,000 square foot super-eco-friendly home. No, wait, it is George Bush that lives in a 4,000 square foot super-eco-friendly home.

Was it not that long ago when everyone worried about global cooling? I thought this might go away like that did but the "Force" is strong with the media this time.

Global Warming is the biggest Cash Cow. Ever.

I hate all this BS, especially when my neighbor tries to convince me that we're going to die because of it. Oh, she's also voting for Hilary. Can't stand it.
