Cap and Tax Econmy Killer Bill Passes 219-212 – Dave Reichert Votes AYE

   Posted by: Aurelius    in 2010 Election Follies, Climate Change, Energy, Washington

From Michelle Malkin, we get the link to the final talley, showing Congressman Dave Reichert voting AYE, to PASS the Cap and Trade Economy Killer Bill.

As Michelle asks;

There are 7 GOP turncoats with recorded YEA votes.

What were their payoffs???

I hope Dave Reichert’s payoff was worth it, because he has now thrown his lot in with the job killers in the Democrat party.

I held my nose and voted for Reichert in 2008, because he is a squishy Republican at best.  There was never any thought that he was a conservative.  But the alternative was Darcy Burner.

At least Burner would not have stabbed her Liberal supporters in the back, like Reichert has with conservatives, Republicans, and working people.

Even if this Bill gets stopped in the Senate, Reichert has given the fanatics on the left some degree of cover, by supporting this monstrosity of a bill.

I will be happy to campaign for ANYONE who wants to run against Reichert for his House seat in 2010.

I will, to borrow a turn of phrase, vote for a yelllow dog, before I ever vote for Dave Reichert again.

Reichert Planning to Vote FOR Cap and Trade Economy Killer Bill?

   Posted by: Aurelius    in Climate Change, Economics, Religion

Michelle Malkin and the Americana for Prosperity are reporting that Dave Reichert (R – Wa. Dist 8) is leaning towards a YES vote on the Cap and Trade Economy Killer bill, currently being ramrodded through the House of Representatives, despite the Republicans being locked out of the process, and Cong. Waman doing a midnight drop of a 300+ page amendment to the bill.

I cannot encourage people strongly enough to contact Cong. Reichert’s office, and let them know where you stand on this issue!

Washington DC office phone:

(202) 225-7761

Mercer Island office phone: 

(206) 275-3438 or (877) 920-9208

If you are a constituent, you can email his office here.

UPDATE (1:50PM, PDT):  Finally got ahold of Cong. Reichert’s office in DC.  To paraphrase the intern that answered, Reichert is NOT fixed in position, and is weighing response from constituents.

So again, if you are in Wa. Dist 8, and Dave Reichert is your US Representative, please call and or email his office NOW on this issue.

The running vote total is only slightly in favor of the bill right now, so every vote counts on this one!
