I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE FOLLOWING WEBSITE TO ALL WHO WISH TO LEARN HOW WE ARE BEING SUCKERED INTO BELIEVING THE ‘CLIMATE CHANGE/ GLOBAL-WARMING LIE !

I encourage you to read the provisions of the phony climate bill called the ‘Cap and Trade’ Bill that has passed the House of Representatives and being considered by the Senate. Call your State Senators and start complaining now, or kiss your disposable income & freedom goodbye!

This Congress and the staff members who draft this garbage are truly out to destroy the middle class of the USA.

A LICENSE REQUIRED FOR YOUR HOUSE !

Thinking about selling your house? Take a  look at H.R. 2454 (Cap and Trade bill) This is unbelievable! Homeowners take note and mobilize your friends and relatives now!

Beginning one year after enactment of the Cap and Trade Act, you won¡t be able to sell your home unless you retrofit it to comply with the energy and water efficiency standards of this Act. H.R. 2454, the ‘Cap & Trade’ bill passed by the House of Representatives. If also passed by the Senate, will be the largest tax increase any of us has ever experienced.

The Congressional Budget Office (supposedly non-partisan) estimates that in just a few years the average cost to every family of four will be $6,800 per year.

NO ONE IS TO BE EXCLUDED.

However, once the lower classes feel the pinch in their wallets, you can be sure these voters get a tax refund (even if they pay no taxes at all) to offset this new cost. Thus, you Mr. and Mrs. Middle Class America will have to pay even more since additional tax dollars will be needed to bail out everyone else.

But wait. This awful bill (that no one in Congress has actually read) has many more surprises in it. Probably the worst one is this:

A YEAR FROM NOW YOU WON’T BE ABLE TO SELL YOUR HOUSE !  

The caveat is (there always is a catch!) that if you have enough money to make required major upgrades to your home, then you can sell it. But, if not, then forget it. Even pre-fabricated homes (mobile homes) are included.

In effect, this bill prevents you from selling your home without the permission of the EPA administrator.

To get this permission, you will have to have the energy efficiency of your home measured.

Then the government will tell you what your new energy efficiency requirement is, and you will be forced to make modifications to your home under the retrofit provisions of this Act, in order to comply with the new energy and water efficiency requirements.

Then you will have to get your home measured AGAIN, and obtain a license (called a ‘label’ in the Act) that must be posted on your property to show what your efficiency rating is– sort of like the ‘Energy Star’ efficiency rating label on your refrigerator or air conditioner.

If you don’t get a high enough rating, you cannot sell ! And the EPA administrator is also authorized to raise the standards every year, even above and beyond the automatic energy efficiency increases built into the Act !

The EPA administrator, appointed by the President, will run the Cap & Trade program (AKA the ‘American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009) and is authorized to make any future changes to the regulations and standards he alone determines to be in the government¡s best interest. Requirements are set low initially so the bill will pass Congress; then the Administrator can set much tougher new standards every year.

The Act itself contains annual required increases in energy efficiency for private and commercial residences and buildings.
However, the EPA administrator can set higher standards at any time.

SECTION 202

Building Retrofit Program mandates a national retrofit program to increase the energy efficiency of all existing homes across America .

Beginning 1 year after enactment of the Act, you won¡t be able to sell your home unless you retrofit it to comply with the energy and water efficiency standards of this Act.

You had better sell soon, because the standards will be raised each year and will be really hard (i.e., ex$pen$ive) to meet in a few years. Oh, goody! The Act allows the government to give you a grant of several thousand dollars to comply with the retrofit program requirements if you meet certain energy efficiency levels. But, wait, the State can set additional requirements on who qualifies to receive the grants.

You should expect requirements such as ‘can’t have an income of more than $50K per year’, ‘home selling price can’t be more than $125K, or anything else to target the upper middle class (THAT MEANS YOU),  preventing you from qualifying for ANYTHING!
Most of us won’t get a dime and will have to pay the entire cost of the retrofit out of our own pockets. More transfer of wealth, more of that ‘change you can believe in’ …

SECTION 204

Building Energy Performance Labeling Program establishes a labeling program that for each individual residence will identify the achieved energy efficiency performance for at least 90 percent of the residential market within 5 years after the date of the enactment of this Act.

This means that within 5 years 90% of all residential homes in the U.S. must be measured and labeled. The EPA administrator will get $50M each year to enforce the labeling program. The Secretary of the Department of Energy will get an additional $20M each year to help enforce the labeling program. Some of this money will, of course, be spent on coming up with tougher standards each year.

Oh, the label will be like a license for your car. You will be required to post the label in a conspicuous location in your home and will not be allowed to sell your home without having this label.

And, just like your car license, you will probably be required to get a new label every so often (maybe annually).

But, the government estimates the cost of measuring the energy efficiency of your home should only cost about $200 each time.

Remember what they said about the auto smog inspections when they first started: that in California it would only cost $15. That was when the program started. Now the cost is about $50 for the inspection and certificate; a 333% increase. Expect the same from the home labeling program.

SECTION 304

Greater Energy Efficiency in Building Codes establishes new energy efficiency guidelines for the National Building Code and mandates at 304(d), Application of National Code to State and Local Jurisdictions, that 1 year after enactment of this Act, all state and local jurisdictions must adopt the National Building Code energy efficiency provisions or must obtain a certification from the federal government that their state and/or local codes have been brought into full compliance with the National Building Code energy efficiency standards.

The Psalms
37

The Insecurity of the Wicked
A Psalm of David.

1 Fret not thyself because of evildoers,
neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.

2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass,
and wither as the green herb.

3 Trust in the LORD, and do good;
so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.

4 Delight thyself also in the LORD;
and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

5 Commit thy way unto the LORD;
trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light,
and thy judgment as the noonday.

7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him:
fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way,
because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath:
fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.

9 For evildoers shall be cut off:
but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.

10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be:
yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.

11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; Mt. 5.5
and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

12 The wicked plotteth against the just,
and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.

13 The Lord shall laugh at him:
for he seeth that his day is coming.

14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow,
to cast down the poor and needy,
and to slay such as be of upright conversation.

15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart,
and their bows shall be broken.

16 A little that a righteous man hath
is better than the riches of many wicked.

17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken:
but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.

18 The LORD knoweth the days of the upright:
and their inheritance shall be for ever.

19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time:
and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

20 But the wicked shall perish,
and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs:
they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.

21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again:
but the righteous showeth mercy, and giveth.

22 For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth;
and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.

23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD:
and he delighteth in his way.

24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down:
for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.

25 I have been young, and now am old;
yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken,
nor his seed begging bread.

26 He is ever merciful, and lendeth;
and his seed is blessed.

27 Depart from evil, and do good;
and dwell for evermore.

28 For the LORD loveth judgment,
and forsaketh not his saints;
they are preserved for ever:
but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

29 The righteous shall inherit the land,
and dwell therein for ever.

30 The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom,
and his tongue talketh of judgment.

31 The law of his God is in his heart;
none of his steps shall slide.

32 The wicked watcheth the righteous,
and seeketh to slay him.

33 The LORD will not leave him in his hand,
nor condemn him when he is judged.

34 Wait on the LORD, and keep his way,
and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land:
when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.

35 I have seen the wicked in great power,
and spreading himself like a green bay tree.

36 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not:
yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.

37 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright:
for the end of that man is peace.

38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together:
the end of the wicked shall be cut off.

39 But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD:
he is their strength in the time of trouble.

40 And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them:
he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them,
because they trust in him.

If you’ve been paying any attention at all for the past year, you’ll realize that our country has been turned inside out and upside down. Millions of people have lost their jobs since the beginning of the year,  increasing the necessity of government intervention on their behalf. I don’t even want to explore the probability that government itself is the reason for their misfortune– I’ll save that for another article.

The point that I wish to make in this article, however, is that we are all in this together. What affects you, affects me. And although I must admit that I have been very fortunate concerning the health and success of my business over the years, I have also taken a beating as it concerns my livelihood and finances. However, since I have always been able to to depend upon the trust and generosity of you, my clients, during the good times, I want you all to know that you can count on me through these difficult times.

Now, let me get to the point. I believe that we are entering what will become an unprecedented phase in American life– I believe that we will endure turmoil of many kinds. I believe that parents will discover many causes for concern for the welfare of their families and households. And I believe that many people at times will feel as if they are at the end of their rope. And so, I am offering you all my help.

I have served thousands upon thousands of clients over the years, and those who have come to know me well realize that I am neither broke, nor well- to- do. They have become accustomed over these many years to receiving little ‘extras’ for free when I work on their homes and  businesses,  because it is not in my nature to drain the blood of every client I meet. But, to be honest, it’s easy to be generous when times are good.

So let me make this offer to you now– if you have lost your job, if you’ve been laid off, if you’re low on funds and don’t know where to turn, call me. If you explain your situation to me I will hear you out without judgment, and do whatever I can to meet you in the middle. If your business is in trouble, and your cash is spread too thin, give me a call and we’ll see how I can help you. And remember, we are all in this together…

Some people might say that I’m stupid for making this offer. I say that it would be heartless not to make it. I realize that some people might take advantage of me because of this, but it’s worth it to me just knowing that some good people– hard-working, decent people might give me the opportunity to supply the security they desperately need.

If any of you who read this may be aware of a family or businessperson who has truly fallen on hard times, please guide them in my direction.

God has been good to me in my life– now it’s time for payback.
