Charlie Wilson: Dirty Coal Lover, Votes NO on Energy Bill
The House of Representatives has just passed a landmark bill that will propel our nation toward a clean energy future.
But, the really tough work has just begun. The bill will face tough opposition from Dirty Coal and Big Oil in the Senate and we will all need to work just as hard in the coming months to pass a clean energy bill.
And who voted NO and will lead Big Coal’s fight? Our very own Congressman from the 6th District, Charlie Wilson, who was very proud to cast a NO vote and told his voters the following on his web page:
I wanted to let you know that I voted “no” on the bill.
I believe that coal must and will play a major role in our nation’s transition to energy independence. In Ohio, 86 percent of our electricity comes from coal. And the vast majority of that coal comes from Appalachian Ohio. Because we are located in an area of the country that heavily relies on coal to turn on the lights and heat our homes, Ohio families and her energy intensive industries, like steel, will bear the brunt of the cost from this version of climate change legislation.”
Charlie Wilson proved today he is in the back pockets of the coal lobbyists and has no intentions of supporting clean renewable energies for the future.
Charlie Wilson is not qualified to be re-elected to Congress in 2010!

He needs a Green Party challenge in 2010.
Apparently Congressman Dennis Kucinich also voted NO on this bill and the bill is flawed. His latest information can be found on OPEDNEWS.COM. This bill was rushed through giving our representatives very little time to read and analyze what was written. Here is the link to the article: http://www.opednews.com/articles/Kucinich–Passing-a-weak-by-Dennis-Kucinich-090626-786.html
Despite the squealing of the Republican Pigs and their Blue Dog Democratic Allies, the Bill does very little for the environment and will transferBillions more to corporate America and then they will blame it all on the environmentalists.
Dennis Spisak great work!
You have indeed read the Green New Deal at the World Watch Institute http://www.Worldwatch.org
Positive solutions for Solar, Geothermal, Wind, and Rail power.
Dennis we hope you’ll be on the ballot for U.S. House as Green Party candidate in 2010.
Who is the Ohio Green Party running for Governor?
Have any volunteers stepped forward?
Why don’t you run for Governor? Unless if you don’t live in Ohio.
Is Jayne Lattka running for office in 2010? We need dedicated Greens to step up!
“Apparently Congressman Dennis Kucinich also voted NO on this bill and the bill is flawed.”
Yeah, this bill was a fraud. No matter what issue congress tackles these days, their answer is always more corporate welfare. The difference is that Wilson apparently voted no because he thought the bill should be even more generous to his corporate sponsors. The question is, who’s going to take up the banner of the Green New Deal and run against this guy?
Why not send an e-mail to Dennis asking him to run for governor as a Green?
