A time for choosing

If true, this is the best political news I've heard in a while, from The Corner blog at National Review Online:

House Members Being Hammered Over Waxman-Markey [By Iain Murray]

I'm hearing that the popular reaction to the passage of the Waxman-Markey electricity tax bill in the House has blown House members away. The public outrage is really hurting those who voted for it, and that's why the bill has been "parked" (as the Blair government used to say) in the Senate. Very good sign. We need that sort of public pressure to defeat this monstrosity, and similarly for the health-care plans. If these two overreaches go down, Obama's political capital will be spent. How often has a president become a lame duck by his own actions within a year of taking office?

Perhaps the American people are starting to assert themselves enough to prevent President Obama and the Congress from destroying what's left of the private sector. Still, too few people seem to understand what's at stake here. If Obama gets the cap and trade taxes and government-run health care, we're cooked, folks. We will become a command-and-control nation run by power-hungry bureaucrats out of Washington, D.C., instead of the free republic our founders gave us. This is our time for choosing.

It might help us to keep the pressure on our congressman, Rep. Jim Marshall (D-Macon), to stop this train wreck. You can follow whether he votes with Madame Pelosi and his liberal party or with us, the people of Middle Georgia, at this link.
