Steve Driehaus, Democrat, and House member for Cincinnati’s 1st district, has voted for the nation’s largest tax hike in the name of global warming.
As you SHOULD know, today, the Democrats passed the “American Clean Energy and Security Act”, otherwise known as cap and trade, by a margin of 219 to 212.
Sadly, eight Republicans also voted for this tax and economy killer of a bill and they should be booted out of office in the next election as well.
The vote can be read here.
Fellow Cincinnatians, you might call Steve Driehaus and ask him if he actually read all 1500 pages of this bill, which can referenced here. If he says yes, he is lying to you, as Rep. Waxman added over 300 pages in amendments sometime after midnight yesterday.
So your representative not only voted on a bill without reading it, he also just voted in the nation’s largest tax increase. It will cost the nation almost $100 billion dollars a year! That doesn’t come from Rush Limbaugh, that comes from the Congressional Budget Office.
Furthermore, ask Mr. Driehaus, if this bill is about the environment, why is the government making money on it? If this bill was about clean air, wouldn’t it be revenue neutral? Wouldn’t it just require lower emissions from industry?
The key is that it gives the leftist and social activists, aka the Democrats, $846 billion over 9 years to spend on their favorite programs, which of course you will finance through higher gas prices and higher home energy prices. The Democrats don’t really care about global warming, what they care about is the tax money and the power it gives them to reshape America into socialist utopia where the producers support the growing numbers of the non-productive members of society.
And while you are talking to Steve Driehaus, thank him for voting to lower your standard of living as well.

Well, finally, I’ve been able to find out how Steve Driehaus voted on Cap and Trade. Thank you!
I called his local office, his congressional office and e-mailed him.
Today, I tried to reach him with no luck.
Are we going to go down with the Europeans or are we going to act like Americans and draw the line?
Please think of what we’re losing (very quickly) become active and despite the state-run media…go forward.
Become active in the Cincinnati Tea Party and the 9/12 movement.
I’m a 65 year old Grandmother and I’m FED UP !
God and the citizens..please save America
This is unbelievable, considering how this guy runs as a social, fiscal conservative! Check out this post from Doug Ross Journal “Steve Driehaus voted to steal $4,000 from every American family.” Same theme.
What an outrage!
Guys,
Just keep on him. Maybe the best question to ask him “Who gave you permission to take money out of my wallet by raising my electric rates by 10%”?
Don’t be too hard on him, he is just a freshmen and doesn’t realize he is being used as Pelosi Poolboy. You remember how senoirs treated freashmen. It is obviuos we need someone else in there because he will just gey pushed around.
