Stop the Cap and Trade Scheme! Cap DC Instead.

To stop the cap and trade scheme, or cap & trade legislation, we have to be creative. The tea parties were ignored. Phone calls get logged by staffers and dismissed as a small right-wing fraction of America. Carrying signs and screaming is not what we do best. To have an impact, we have to make the news in a way that is true civil disobedience. I think this idea will work to stop the scheme.

Rather than protesting on the lawn in Washington, D.C. we protest on the roads. Instead of in our local communities, we all drive to D.C. and show them the sheer volume of our opposition. With enough cars, we should be able to clog up DC completly. I suggest we drive right to the capital and demand meetings with our representatives. Get as close as we can and leave our cars there or drive around causing commotion all day.

Come with coolers, spare gasoline, bumper stickers and fully decked out cars covered in signs. Show the politicians and lobbyists we will not stand for this cap and trade tax. They want to cap carbon emmissions, we will cap Washington, DC. We will truly surround them with cars, trucks, and SUVs. If we can get 1 million or 2 million cars into the city; we should shut it down completely. Global warming alarmists will have a cow with the amount of carbon we will spew into the D.C. air.

I am nothing more than someone with an idea. For this to work we would all need to decide this is the way to protest cap and trade. The timing would need to be the day of the Senate vote or the 1st day of voting after the conference committee. Give me feedback, take ownership of the idea. If you are a group who is able to run with this and promote the idea, I will gladly give it up to you.
