KEY VOTE ALERT
"NO" on the Lieberman-Warner-Boxer Climate Security bill (S. 3036)

The Club for Growth urges all Senators to vote "NO" on the Lieberman-Warner-Boxer Climate Security bill (S. 3036). This includes, but is not limited to, voting "NO" on the final cloture vote. This key vote will be part of our 2008 Congressional Scorecard.

This proposal would result in a massive new tax on American consumers caused by the most pervasive new regulations on the U.S. economy since the New Deal.

The Heritage Foundation recently reported that this bill will cause economic losses to reach anywhere between $1.7 trillion and $4.8 trillion by the year 2030. This bill would also allow the government to redistribute billions of dollars by granting valuable emission credits to politically-motivated groups.

This bill is an unambiguous example of a high-tax, crippling regulatory anti-growth bill. It should be vigorously opposed.

Our Congressional Scorecard for the 110th Congress provides a comprehensive rating of how well or how poorly each member of Congress supports pro-growth, free-market policies and will be distributed to our members and to the public.
