I think the honeymoon was over long ago. There seem to be fewer supporters on a daily basis. There was a sense of hope during and shortly after the election. Where is that now? The sense I get from most people is dispair, disbelief, discord and dismay. All of these descriptions I believe come from the American people's feeling of being disrespected. How can this Administration and Congress have their priorities so backwards? Have they not read or at least heard of our history? Do they not understand that those who do not learn from the past are destined to repeat it? Are they trying to force us down some undisclosed path? Only time will tell. It will tell us what the Feds have up their sleeves. It will tell if the American people are going to awaken from their slumbering indifference. Additionally, it will tell what the world reaction will be to our reaction. The American people spoke in 08'. We need to be heard again in 10'.

The American people spoke in 08′. We need to be heard again in 10′.

My company has reduced its workforce in order to be able to compete globally because the regulations in this country put us at an economic disadvantage. The consumption of oil that doesn’t produce but only pollutes is a no win situation. I find it hard to believe that American ingenuity is still relying on combustible engines in this day and time. I dislike it when there’s a blip of trouble in the Middle East; it noticeably takes money out of my pocket. As I said, the Cap and Trade Bill would hurt my company, but doing nothing to move away from the dependence on oil is money going up in smoke.
