I enjoy reading the CRNC’s emails sent by Charlie Smith and others. They make me feel proud to be a College Republican. Here is Mr. Smith’s latest attacking the Democrats’ energy plan:
Read his lips: Barack Obama promised not to raise taxes on anyone making less than $250,000 a year. Yet, “cap and trade could cost the average household more than $3,900 per year (Hot Air).”
Do you have $3,900 extra a year to spend on a non-workable solution to a dubious problem that may or may not have a negative impact on the planet a 100 years from now? Does it make sense to make such a major sacrifice to deal with global warming when the planet hasn’t actually warmed since 1998 and instead seems to be in a cooling phase?
Are we willing to sacrifice hundreds of thousands of American jobs each year on a risky cap and trade scheme while businesses in nations like China and India aren’t hit with the same extreme restrictions?
If you oppose the Democrats’ energy tax, help us fight back by making a $5 contribution today.
Many European nations aren’t even living up to the milder restrictions they agreed to under the Kyoto Protocol, so why are we planning to tear the guts out of the US economy with a cap and trade plan? The cap and trade system hasn’t made a significant dent in the amount of greenhouse gasses produced anywhere else it has been tried.
Additionally, since when does the American government work to make the cost of gas – which serves to keep your family comfortable in your own home – more expensive?
When did catering to environmental extremists become a higher priority than improving the lives of American families? Since the Democratic Party gained control of Washington.
Politicians should be trying to make energy more affordable for Americans, not working to kill American jobs, drive American businesses overseas, and take thousands of dollars out of the pockets of working families each year.
That’s why people who want to improve the lives of average Americans oppose President Obama’s cap and trade plan, which would be the largest tax increase in our nation’s history.
Sincerely,
Charlie Smith
National Chairman
College Republican National CommitteeP.S. Help the College Republicans fight back against the Democrats’ energy tax, contribute $5 today!
1. To be effective, the e-mail should make the case as to how donating $5 to the CRNC would help fight back against the Democrat’s energy tax.
2. This paragraph is awkward to read:
“When did catering to environmental extremists become a higher priority than improving the lives of American families? Since the Democratic Party gained control of Washington.”
Adding ‘Since’ before ‘When’ would help it read smoother.
3. Why aren’t these e-mails going to all college republicans?
