Summary: The Club For Growth claims that the costs of the Lieberman-Warner climate bill outweigh its potential benefits.
Script of "No On Lieberman-Warner -- Montana" (TV)
ANNOUNCER [v/o]: Congress is at it again. This time they’re pushing massive new taxes and regulations in the name of global warming.
But let’s ask ourselves: Are the unproven benefits of legislation worth the major job losses, new taxes and increased energy costs that could result?
(Text on screen: “Experts Disagree On Benefits Of Global Warming Bill” -- Associated Press, March 2008; The loss of up to 14,557 jobs per year; Up to $5,321 drop in disposable income per household; Up to 133% increase in electricity prices -- Study commissioned by the National Association of Manufacturers [NAM] and American Council for Capital Formation [ACCF], March 2008)
Call Senators Max Baucus and Jon Tester today. Tell them to vote no on the Lieberman-Warner climate bill. Montanans just can’t afford another huge, costly government program.
