Following the House vote on socialized health care --
‘This Fight Is Not Over,’ Says Americans for Prosperity; Praises Unprecedented Grassroots Outpouring
‘Today we lost in Congress, but we won with the American people’
ARLINGTON, Va. – Americans for Prosperity President Tim Phillips issued the following statement after the U.S. House passed the health care takeover bill:
“Today we have seen a critical setback for freedom in our country. The fight over this health care takeover has been long and brutal. But something hopeful has risen out of its ashes: millions of active, passionate Americans who are aware of the many threats to our freedoms and who are willing to fight.
“This battle has indeed awakened the sleeping giant, and Americans for Prosperity’s members – one million strong – will continue to put the pressure on our elected officials. More than 320,000 Americans have signed our November Is Coming petition, sending a message to their members of Congress that their days in Washington are numbered. I think we will see some historic changes in our country at the hands of these hard-working people who are taking time away from their everyday lives to start tea party groups and commit themselves to preserving liberty. This fight is not over. Today we lost in Congress, but we won with the American people.”

In response to: Cap and Trade Could Be a Boon to New York by Senator Gillibrand.
Hasn't the country learned its lesson that creating fanciful financial instruments, like derivatives, and allowing Wall Street to bandy them about institutionalizes instability? Carbon derivatives would be even worse than financial instruments that gave us the housing bubble. Cap and trade seeks to create a commodity out of thin air. The government would create a value where none exists. At least the mortgage securities had an actual asset behind them.
