8 GOP Reps. vote for Cap and Trade

Results in successful passing of Waxman/Markey Bill

Washington D.C. – 8 Republican congressmen voted to pass the Waxman Markey Bill, also known as the American Clean Energy and Security Act. Despite the name, this bill is little more than a massive energy tax on companies that will be passed on to consumers and small businesses alike.

44 Democrat congressmen voted against the bill, shaming the 8 republicans who did. These Republicans are responsible for the passing of this bill in the House. The final roll call counted 219 ayes, and 212 noes. The Senate has yet to vote on this bill.
