Pam, I understand you are angry, for lack of a better description, but realistically even if the calls organized to be made were more no’s than yes’s, elected representatives of both parties don’t base their vote on the number of calls. Nor would you want them to. They should take how their constituency feels into consideration but no elected official is going to base their vote solely on calls.
Kaptur is not old nor feeble, you may disagree with her positions and her decisions, she is liberal, clearly more liberal than you would like but she is who has been elected to represent our area.

An elected official should take into consideration what constiuents are telling them to do. The only way to know what taxpayers were telling her to do is to get the numbers. What are they hiding? Look, I don’t look forward to what this socialistic government takeover is going to lead to. We have cold winters and hot summers. Our utility rates are skyhigh. I heard this bill could lead to closing oil refineries. We have BP and Sun Oil. Both plants employ many people and many contractors receive work through these plants. We used to have three refineries, Gulf Oil left in the early 80’s. I don’t want any government regulation telling me what my thermostat can be at. That’s none of government’s business.

Yes Marcy is too old and feeble minded. A lot of those in congress are in that boat. It’s common sense that you don’t vote yes on a bill that added a 300 page ammendment at 3:00am the morning you are to vote on it. There should have been more debate and the taxpayers of this country should have been given the opportunity to see this whole bill for what it was before congress voted on it. She also shouldn’t prostitute her vote for what it could get her as per the Times article.

Between the porkulus bills, this cap and tax, nationalized healthcare and Obumble’s admitting now he lied about his campaign promise of not taxing anyone making less than $250,00.00, this country is doomed. When do you start getting angry?

“This amendment promotes much-needed regional equity,” said Congresswoman Kaptur. “The federal government has been subsidizing infrastructure and economic development in other parts of the country since the New Deal. Now it’s our turn. With the Midwest taking the brunt of the economic crisis, my priority was to bring our region additional tools to create jobs and promote energy independence.”

I was also told earlier that this Washington Times article made it to the Drudge Report.

Kaptur is not old nor feeble, you may disagree with her positions and her decisions, she is liberal, clearly more liberal than you would like but she is who has been elected to represent our area.

We need to take our country back. These representatives do not listen to us and what we want them to do. You couldn’t even get through to Washington DC on Friday. They either took the phones off the hook or people were flooding them with calls. They vote party line unless the party doesn’t need their vote and their vote could affect them back in their district. The only way to know if Marcy listened to we the people is to have the numbers of the yes and no phone calls. What is this office hiding?

Recall the woman, I’m sure a Tea Party would draw plenty of signatures for that one!!!!

First Solar is the only viable entity locally, even still, they have the German government to thank for that, in part.

Most of the other organizations are startups relying on government funding for the possibility of success.

As I mentioned before, Willard & Kelsey Solar Group, LLC have made plans to bring a total of 534 new jobs to northwest Ohio.” They don’t employ even half that number.

Why can’t you folks accept the truth. The solar business is primarily government funded and can not survive with out this state sponsored socialism. Look what happend in Spain.

Keep at it, Lisa. Some of them may come around.

Those numbers are bogus, who are the companies? Am I aloud to ask such a question of frank? Can’t he speak for himself? Those jobs don’t exist!

Someone stated a statistic. If you doubt it – research it. Otherwise it’s an empty challenge.

Prove your case.

I’d guess the Governor pointing this fact out in his state of the State address wouldn’t matter to you either.

“We have 6,000-7,000 people in those backup industries that I mentioned – glass machinery and so on – not just in Wood County but in the neighboring counties as well…..Glass is the raw material that the solar panels are built onto”
