Dear Friends,
We teach our children to never sign a blank check or blank contract. It’s an important lesson. The consequences of signing anything without all of the details can have broad repercussions.
Many in Congress are betting we didn’t learn this lesson. Senator Barbara Boxer and Senator John Kerry recently introduced a massive tax grab disguised as a climate change bill. The bill is full of fill-in-the-blanks and empty brackets. These empty brackets conceal hidden taxes that will cost thousands of jobs.
One thing is certain: American families cannot afford this massive tax gamble. American energy means creating American jobs. With unemployment at its highest rate in decades, we need red, white and blue jobs - not just green jobs. I’ll be sure to fight this tax grab every step of the way.
Senator Barrasso holds up the Boxer-Kerry energy tax bill during a press conference. Barrasso marked the pages in the bill that contain "fill-in-the-blanks."
Best wishes,
U.S. Senator John Barrasso
