I would like to bring a great piece of work to your attention. This is a straight forward assessment of Republicans in the U.S. Senate. I've included the findings on the table below, but click on the link to visit the website (Not One Red Cent) and see how the ratings were calculated.
Fight the National Republican Senatorial Committee's betrayal of the conservative grassroots!

WAY too much squishy going on here in my opinion!

Obama to announce auto mileage, emissions standards
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama's new fuel and emission standards for cars and trucks will save billions of barrels of oil but are expected to cost consumers an extra $1,300 per vehicle by the time the plan is complete in 2016. Obama on Tuesday planned to announce the first-ever national emissions limits for vehicles, as well as require an overall or industry average fuel efficiency standard at 35.5 miles per gallon.
Carol Browner, the White House energy and climate director, publicly confirmed the new initiative in appearances on morning network news shows, calling it a "truly historic" occasion and saying tougher standards are "long overdue."
NO Christmas card for Carol this year!!! I'm not exactly sure what the objective is here. If it's to push the American auto industry off the cliff they're teetering on, then perhaps it will be successful. If not, well they say that timing is everything . . . and maybe it's just me, but the timing just doesn't seem right on this one. (Not that that's the only thing wrong here) Governmental expansion continues, as we mindlessly march toward socialism!
