I expect thousands will be there...a great weekend for a big Wv party...hope it will make the news.
The shortages have begun in Wv...severe lack of Porta-Johns...so many events and weekend tourist gatherings here that a severe shortage exists in the blue and gold/yellow necessary stations...if you have a problem with long lines a the capitol, Mr. MoJo lives on the next block...just knock on the side door.
I was just talking to a friend about putting together a rally to let them know our thoughts up here at the Martinsburg offices! I will see if I can work it out for the same day to coordinate the message. Though I would love to find out when they were actually going to be here.
In a Senate Hearing yesterday, EPA top dog Jackson said Cap & Trade will have little/no impact on world CO2 levels, that it is really all about entering the world clean energy race.
What??? What about all the global warming "scary monster" propoganda and how we need Cap & Trade to fix the problem?

When Jackson got her turn to comment on the chart, she essentially agreed that the chart was correct and unilateral US action would accomplish little Senate Surprise: EPA Administrator More Honest Than Energy Secretary in Climate Hearing

Clean energy is to this decade and the next what the Space Race was to the 1950s and '60s, and America is behind. Governments in Asia and Europe are ahead of the United States in making aggressive investments in clean-energy technology. American businesses need strong incentives and investments now in order for this nation to lead the 21st Century global economy. Article XI : To Preserve and Protect:: Today's Statement by EPA's Lisa Jackson at US Senate Hearing on ACES Bill
During a hearing today in the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, EPA Administrator Jackson confirmed an EPA analysis showing that unilateral U.S. action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions would have no effect on climate. Moreover, when presented with an EPA chart depicting that outcome, Energy Secretary Steven Chu said he disagreed with EPA's analysis. .: U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works :: Press Room :.

"With China and India recently issuing statements of defiant opposition to mandatory emissions controls, acting alone through the job-killing Waxman-Markey bill would impose severe economic burdens on American consumers, businesses, and families, all without any impact on climate." .: U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works :: Press Room :.
