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!

Founder's Quote of the Week

"I consider the foundation of the Constitution as laid on this ground that 'all powers not delegated to the United States, by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states or to the people.' To take a single step beyond the boundaries thus specially drawn around the powers of Congress, is to take possession of a boundless field of power, not longer susceptible of any definition." --Thomas Jefferson, Opinion on the Constitutionality of a National Bank, 1791
