Arkansas AEA Launches New Waxman-Markey Energy Tax Ad

Listen to the ad here.

ANNOUNCER: After Washington wasted billions bailing out Wall Street and the auto industry, our economy is still hurting.

Unemployment is approaching 10 percent.

But our leaders in Congress just don’t get it.

These politicians in Washington are pushing a new energy tax that would be the largest in history, costing the average family over $100 a month.

Some estimates have this tax killing 2.4 million American jobs—over 23,000 in Arkansas alone.

The Arkansas unemployment rate is already at a 16-year high.

Can we really afford to be hit with higher taxes and more job losses during this recession?

Congress seems to think so.

Call Senator Blanche Lincoln at 800-352-9364 and Senator Mark Pryor at 877-259-9602. Tell them Arkansas can’t afford the higher energy bills and job losses caused by a new national energy tax.
