| | Hello, Amy.
I will be brief: You and I share the belief that respecting & protecting our environment is very important - call it a "Natural Law" if you will. There are other Natural Laws, however, which must be concurrently obeyed, such as the laws of Mathematics.
Simply put, our country is suffering financially, and we don't have the capability of supporting another tax a la Cap & Trade, especially into a recession.
That is why I must recommend that you either use C&T as an equal-value replacement for an existing tax (say, cutting the regressive payroll tax, or reducing the income tax) or vote against it altogether.
There are many economically-friendly ways to "Be Green." These are just a couple thoughts, but there are certainly ways to be environmentally-friendly without further damaging our economy. The Democratic party would be well-served to embrace a more fiscally responsible stance and this is one way to do it.
Thank you for your time.

A similar letter will follow for Franken once his senate site is up.
If you agree, please forward this letter or a similar letter to your senators! This is important, people!
