Louisiana AEA Launches Waxman-Markey Energy Tax Ad

Listen
The text of the ad follows

Seems like all of us are working harder in this economy just to make ends meet. 

But the politicians in Washington, DC don't seem to get it - voting to bailout Wall Street - rather than helping Main Street. 

And just when you think that it can't get worse - some in Congress are now pushing an energy tax that would be the largest tax hike in history.   

Studies show that the bill, known as the Waxman-Markey Energy Tax, could cost our family's more than $3,100 per year in new taxes. 

And that's not all - this tax will further cripple our already struggling economy - costing more American jobs. 

Higher taxes and more job losses - what could Congress be thinking? 

Call Congressman Charlie Melancon at (985) 876-3033.  Tell him that we can't afford the Waxman-Markey Energy Tax.
