HOUSE ACTS BUT SENATE, UNDER HARRY REID, DOES NOTHING!

Conservatives --

The House and Senate have both adjourned until after the election, so I thought it was a good time to update you on the issues American Commitment has been actively working on.

1. House stands up to War on Coal.  The House voted Friday 233 to 175 to stop Obama’s War on Coal. There were 214 Republicans joined by 13 Democrats who voted to stand up for coal and affordable electricity.  There were 162 Democrats and 19 Republicans who voted no. American Commitment activists like you have now sent over 100,000 letters and emails to Congress urging an end to the War on Coal.  For next several weeks, we will focus heavily on holding accountable legislators who betrayed their states by supporting Obama's War on Coal. We would greatly appreciate any financial contribution you can make to this effort, which could have a huge impact in coal states like Ohio and Virginia.

HOUSE TO VOTE ON COAL BILL, DEMAND THE SENATE ALLOW VOTE!

Conservatives --

Obama told us his disastrous plan for the coal industry and affordable electricity. "If someone wants to build a new coal-fired power plant they can, but it will bankrupt them," Obama said in 2008. "Electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket," he added.

First he tried a massive cap-and-trade plan. It  failed.  The day after the 2010 landslide election, he said: "Cap-and-trade was just one way of skinning the cat." Now he's abusing regulatory power to accomplish the same deeply destructive goal of bankrupting coal.

The House will vote THIS WEEK on a bill to STOP Obama's War on Coal.  Please click here now to urge the House to VOTE YES and to urge the Senate to allow a vote on the bill.

Obama is determined to destroy the coal industry.  We cannot afford to let him succeed.  Please take action now to urge Congress to stand up to him.  If they fail to do so, we simply must elect a new Congress that is up to the task.

Thank you for taking action to stop Obama's War on Coal.

Yours truly,
Phil Kerpen

P.S. The entire outcome of the elections could hinge on turnout in coal areas of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.  This story must be told. Please share our War on Coal action page by forwarding this email and using the share buttons on our War on Coal site. Thanks!
