You can bet the ranch on the fact that every Democrat in the Senate uses vast amounts of fossil fuels to get from their state to Washington, D.C. And you can bet that most of them travel in fossil fueled vehicles daily to get to work both in D.C. and when they’re back in their home states. Plus all the fossil fuels usage for personal travel. They all certainly have big carbon footprints. Yet
(Daily Caller)  Democratic senators were told to target and scorn conservative nonprofit groups Monday and Tuesday for opposing Democratic policies addressing man-made global warming, internal emails indicate.
Rhode Island Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, a Democrat, has directed 19 of his fellow Democratic senators to attack conservative and libertarian organizations such as Americans for Prosperity and the Cato Institute on the chamber floors for engaging in what the senators call a “web of denial.â€
Whitehouse and Democratic Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid – according to an internal email circulated by Emily Enderle, a top environmental policy adviser to Whitehouse, who is leading the hit parade – have created a senate schedule for Monday and Tuesday, requesting the senators lambaste the groups assigned to them.
Here’s part of that document
It’s rather disturbing that elected federal officials will use their lofty perches to assault private organizations they disagree with on matters of policy (because it’s not a science).
“It’s unbelievable the level of coordination the Senate Democrats have taken to political intimidate free market organizations,†Molly Drenkard, a spokeswoman with the American Legislative Economic Exchange (ALEC), told The Daily Caller News Foundation. ALEC is one of the conservative groups targeted by the senators.
She added: “Any person or organization—left, right, or nonpartisan—should be concerned when elected officials try to actively stifle free speech. This is clearly the next step in the attorneys general subpoena intimidation campaign.â€
Any Warmists/Democrats who are OK with this anti-First Amendment abuse should consider how they would feel if Republicans were going after Democrat leaning private groups.
And every one of these groups and Senators should reply back in asking if the Democrats have given up their own use of fossil fuels and made their lives carbon neutral.
