Majority Says Congress Should Not Approve Proposed Energy Bill,
New Zogby Poll Reveals More than three of four voters support
investments in energy efficiency and renewable energy instead

As Congress prepares to vote on a proposed Energy bill, a
majority of likely voters (55%) feel it would be better if
Congress did not pass this particular bill, knowing what the
legislation contains. Just one in five (21%) feels it is very
important that Congress pass this bill as soon as possible.

If you knew that the energy bill Congress is considering exempts
energy companies from key parts of the Clean Air and Clean Water
Acts, makes it easier for oil and gas companies to drill on
public lands, and gives up to 20 billion dollars in subsidies
and tax breaks to the oil, gas, nuclear, and coal industries,
which of the following most closely reflects your opinion about
such a bill?

2. Imagine the numbers if

the corporate media informed the public about his corporate giveaway plan. Barely a mention that it was crafted in secret behind closed doors and the cheney papers, what are they hiding there.

3. Sounds like support for a Dem Filibuster

This gives the dems the cover they need to filibuster. If they
capitulate, then a pox on them.
