Energy Policy Petition |

As a social network for livestock producers, the mission of CattleGrower.com is one of bringing ranchers together - Not one of affiliation or political activism. Given the overwhelming reaction from the agricultural community to a recent poll at CattleGrower.com it is compelling that we stand up for our Industry where others may not. Not only because we can, but because we should. |

| Stated efforts of H.R.
2454, otherwise known as Cap and Trade, are to create clean
energy jobs, achieve energy independence, reduce global warming pollution
and transition to a clean energy economy. Primary objections related to the legislation are: 1. Government control and taxes necessary to affect the bill which may drive economy in to a deeper recession. 2. Energy taxes forcing US jobs overseas which could put further pressure on economy and defeat the bills purpose by shifting pollution to other parts of the globe with less regulation. |
