The 110th Congress&#8217; environmental agenda began with one piece of legislation that suggested the world&#8217;s worst environmental polluter might have been a guy named Thomas Edison whose invention, the electric light&#8211;they claimed&#8211;causes global warming.<\/p>\n<p>By outlawing incandescent lights in favor of compact fluorescent lighting, the environmentalists said the country would reduce energy consumption by $18 billion a year, or save consumers between $80 to $180 on their electric bills per year. The plus for the globalists? They said it would reduce global warming because one of the causes of global warming is&#8230;you guessed it&#8230;the old fashioned Tom Edison light bulb<\/p>\n<p>Barack Obama wants to physically change the way you live&#8212;including the type of light bulbs that you use in your home. NEXT YEAR your light bulbs will be obsolete. You will be mandated by federal law to get rid of your existing light bulbs&#8212;all for the sake of the preventing, or minimizing global warming (even though scientists today are telling us we are entering into a solar cooling phase that will drop the average temperatures on Earth for the next 30 to 80 years).<\/p>\n<p><strong>C O P Y \u00a0 OF \u00a0 <em>&#8216;S U G G E S T E D&#8217;<\/em> LETTER TO \u00a0SNAIL MAIL, FAX AND\/OR EMAIL TO SEND TO YOUR U.S. CONGRESSMAN<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>[TITLE] [FIRST NAME] [LAST NAME]<\/p>\n<p>The Capitol<\/p>\n<p>Dear [TITLE] [LAST NAME]<\/p>\n<p>I do not appreciate the over-zealous environmentalists who are trying to change the way I have lived successfully for many years.

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House.
