Democrat Representatives Keith Ellison (5th District), Betty McCollum (4th District), James Oberstar (8th District), Tim Walz (1st District) and Collin Peterson (7th District) all voted for the American Clean Energy and Security Act (ACES). Collin Peterson chairs the House agriculture committee and initially expressed reservations about the bill because of the disproportionate impact it would have on farmers and rural communities. In the end, his Democrat colleagues got him back in the boat, though and he voted to pass the bill.
 
Freshman Republican Erik Paulsen (3rd District)  voted no and immediately released a YouTube video explaining his reasons.
 
6th District Republican Michele Bachmann, a staunch opponent of cap-and-trade-style swindles, predictably voted no on ACES, as did Second District Republican John Kline.
 
The Cap and Trade bill passed the U. S. House by a mere 7 votes and is now headed to the Senate for their approval before being passed to President Obama’s eager hands for a speedy signature.

Re: Minnesota Congressional Delegation on Cap and Trade    By Barb on 7/2/2009
Keith Ellison I can excuse for my own personal knowledge of him. Betty, are you gonna get funding for partial life abortion?Murder? Jim, are you pocketing for more unnecessary bike trails no one needs to survive? Tim, I know nothing of you except you must be democrat which explains enough. Collin you are a trader. Wherever there is money in the government till, there's immense corruption.

Thank you Eric Paulsen, Michelle and John. Thank you for standing for the American principles and looking out for us!

Featured Book

"Green Hell explains why Americans can't afford to fall for Al Gore's `the debate is over' line on global warming. While we're all for the environment, Green Hell explains why we need to oppose the environmentalists."
--Fred Barnes, Executive Editor, the Weekly Standard

"Green Hell is the `inconvenient truth' on extremist, growth-killing environmentalism. A must-read for those interested in keeping America free and prosperous."
--Steve Forbes, President and Chief Executive Officer of Forbes

"Regardless of whether you believe global warming is a fraud, the fact is that the current depression, the past spike in oil prices, and the coming technology of electric cars are all going to solve whatever problem exists. Liberals want to use climate change as an excuse to take over the economy and regulate everything and this book exposes their plans."
--Dick Morris, FOX News commentator and former political consultant to Bill Clinton

"This book describes why the world can't afford to fall for global warming alarmism and environmental hysteria. Steve Milloy shows how to avoid the environmentalists' vision of our future."
--VACLAV KLAUS, President of the European Union and President of the Czech Republic

"Free market capitalism is still the best path to prosperity. Green Hell is a must-read for anyone who wants to keep America on that path and away from Soviet-style command-and-control environmentalism."
--Larry Kudlow, Host, CNBC's The Kudlow Report
