Dear Editor,

With the U.S. Senate scheduled to begin debate on the climate change (Cap & Trade) bill after the Labor Day recess, it is time for the electric consumers in Southern Illinois to mobilize in opposition to the bill.

Although supporters of Cap & Trade point to its success in reducing sulfur and nitrogen emissions, carbon emissions are a completely different animal.

Yes sir! I’m as angry as you are about the abortion, the alcohol, the pornography the peaceniks, the bash-America first crowd, the homosexual lobby, and perhaps a hundred other things that are in cahoots with the devil himself.

I would like to publicly thank Ray Rutland for the kindness he showed me and many others, this past week, when he removed snow from driveways and walkways. He was at my home around 2:30 p.m. He said he had started at 8 a.m. that same day and had about three more stops to make.
