The following governors and mayors will testify tomorrow before the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee in favor of the Waxman-Markey bill:
- Gov. Bill Ritter (D-Col)
- Gov. Chris Gregoire (D-Wash)
- Gov. Jon Corzine (D-NJ)
- Gov. John Hoeven (R-ND)
- Mayor Robert Kiss, Progressive, Burlington, VT
- Mayor William Euille, Democrat, Alexandria, VA
- Mayor Douglas Palmer, Democrat, Trenton, NJ
Waxman-Markey represents an unearned multi-trillion dollar transfer of wealth from consumers and taxpayers to special interests including Al Gore and Goldman Sachs.
If you live in one of these states or cities, let these officials know that you don’t want to be taxed so that Al Gore and Goldman Sachs can laugh all the way to the bank with their ill-gotten profits.
Ritter was pretty evasive and would not endorse Waxman-Markey when questioned by Inhofe.

We’ll see how my Governor (Gregoire) does today.
Wallstreet is all for the sub-prime carbon trading market. Enron was one of the first big supporters.
Anybody know what happened to Enron? Extrapolate from there.
