Taxpayers of Wisconsin join ol’Capt. Karl with this Civil Remedial REJECTION of “sneaky” taxation by The tyrants of The State of Wisconsin.  Either they face us with their taxes directly and clearly or we don’t pay them!  Don’t put them in ultility bills that we HAVE TO pay to live.

Here is Capt. Karl’s letter to Wisconsin Public Service:

Dear Wisconsin Public Service:

Explanation of Wisconsin Taxpayers Civil Rejection 28 Act.

Enclosed along with a recent bill we received from your electric service company, was a notice stating;

Beginning September 28, 2009, Wisconsin Public Service customers in the state of Wisconsin will begin seeing a “Wisconsin 2009 Act 28” fee on their monthly electric bill.

 This charge is a result of a provision included in the Wisconsin Legislative budget bill, which requires that all Wisconsin electric utilities collect a fee from customers to help fund District Attorney salaries and benefits across the state. The charge will appear on customers’ bills through June 30, 2011, unless additional action is taken by the legislature.

 For WPS, this means that our residential customers will pay about $3.24 annually, while the charge for commercial customers will be close to $10 annually. The fee is to be charged per electric meter or service, so customers with multiple accounts could see higher charges.

 If you have any questions, or would like more information about Act 28, please contact the Department of Administration at 866-432-8947 or visit their Web site at www.homeenergyplus.wi.gov.

           **************************************************************** 

Electricity has become an essential part of living in America.  I find it heinously appalling that the State of Wisconsin would attach ‘General State of Wisconsin Operational Taxes’ to a utility bill of such life supporting necessity.  What irks me the most about this is the obvious Wisconsin tax incrementalism that is certainly to follow over the course of the next few months and years on our utility bills, for utilities necessary and essential for life itself,  now that the tyrannical spendthrift legislators have their despotic “camel’s nose” under the tent.  Doesn’t electricity cost enough already?

By what right does the oppressive State of Wisconsin Legislators have to force Wisconsin businesses, like Wisconsin Public Service, to do their dirty work for them?

Please be advised, therefore, that I, as a customer of Wisconsin Public Service and a Wisconsin Taxpayer, hereby rejects payment of the Wisconsin Act 28 Fee, which has nothing to do with your electrical service, and that this fee will be subtracted from all future bills with the balance for the electrical service to be paid in full as per the due date provided.

Please be further advised that a copy of this e-mail will be going out to over FIFTY Freedom and Liberty organizations across the State of Wisconsin one being the humongous Americans For Prosperity.  Additionally I will be submitting this letter to many Wisconsin bloggers for posting on the Internet for Wisconsin Taxpayers and Wisconsin Public Service customers to view.

This constant insult to our intelligence and our family finances, due to legislators not cutting the State budget like our families have to do continuously, is coming to an end.  I feel that it is awful for the Wisconsin Government to put your company in the middle between us and them in the attempt to mask their tax increases on us.

Believing themselves to be smarter than the average bear, bureaucrats in the Obama administration continue their quest to create a, well, bear market — at least for oil. The White House decided to designate more than 200,000 square miles of Alaskan land and coastline as “critical habitat” for polar bears — the same bear population that has reached greater numbers than previously recorded in history. In fact, despite what Al Gore and his fellow global warmists would have us believe, the population has actually risen by 40 percent since 1974.

This new non-endangered species habitat is enormous enough to qualify as the third largest state in the union, placing it between Texas and California in terms of square miles. Former UnitedHealth general counsel and now Assistant Interior Secretary Tom Strickland claimed at a news conference that the greatest threat to the bear is Arctic ice melt and that “we will continue to work to protect the polar bear and its fragile environment.”

However, the new designation as a critical habitat is the first step in requiring even more government consideration of the supposed negative effect on the escalating polar bear numbers before allowing oil and gas development. The state of Alaska responded by filing a complaint in an effort to stop the listing under the Endangered Species Act.

In the meantime, some 30 percent of the world’s gas supplies and 4 percent of the estimated global oil supply will be placed off limits because of this deceitful claim that the polar bear population is endangered. Next up, the loggerhead turtle, which, if listed as endangered, would bring regulations on everything along the eastern seaboard, including what lights you can put on the ocean-facing side of your house.

Here are some more reasons:

Obama Administration Blocking Domestic Oil Leases

Posted by nationalforestlawblog at 09:06 PM on October 08, 2009

Regardless of receipt of the report they both LIED directly to the American public about the cost of this proposal now in Congress.  Waxman stated that it would only cost about 40 cents per day.  Obama stated that it would only cost ”about the same as a postage stamp per day”. 

Waxman and Obama BOTH - – - LIED BY OVER 1,200 PERCENT!

See for yourself, in the following video, the horrendous corruption of the U.S. Congress.  See what this MASSIVE TAX increase for Cap and Trade will cost you as reported by The U.S. Treasury Department as received by Henry Waxman and Barack Obama BEFORE they lied to us about the cost of the Waxman – Markey Cap and Trade Climate bill.  It seems self-evident that President Obama, Henry Waxman and the vast majority of both houses of Congress are trying to make us Americans go broke.  The only question is,,,  Why?  In any case, they certainly cannot be trusted. :

Isn’t That Special?

How are we ever going to trust either house of Congress or EITHER Party or President Obama again?  I say that we are not so stupid as to trust any of them.  I say we completely investigate ALL OF THEM, try them ALL just like we did the NAZIs at Nuremberg, make the appropriate convictions and PROSECUTE each and every one of them to the FULLEST EXTENT of THE LAW; upto and including treason if so found.  While this is going on we rebuild our country under THE LAW word for word as WE The People wrote, established and ordained on the U.S. Government in The Constitution. – - Capt. Karl

God created all sorts of energy resources, only a few of which have been developed and utilized to drive our economy.  Energy is the life blood of freedom and it is what allows our economy to produce individual wealth for all Americans.  And, this is why energy, in all forms, is so very important to the average working American.  Cheap inexpensive oil is what results in the costs of everything to go down to reasonable affordable levels for us all.  When energy is inexpensive it is also an incentive for Americans to start new small businesses, because then it is easier to make a good profit, and therefore lower energy costs results in hundreds of thousands of new jobs and allows for significant increases in money available for wages on the shop floor or out in the field.

Energy prices, like prices for everything, are determined by the principles of supply and demand.  The more supply of energy the United States has available to meet the demand of our large and small businesses and individual needs and desires the less it costs.  That is why we the American people have so much power to lower the cost of our energy and make ourselves individually more wealthy.

The fact is that there are HUNDREDS of BILLIONS of barrels of oil and vast volumes of natural gas available DOMESTICALLY right here in and around America.  In addition America has vast resources in coal energy.  Combining the unfathomable quantities of these resources with new developing energy sources would immensely improve all of our families’ economic conditions.  The Liberty Tree Lantern is astonished at how little the mainstream media is reporting all of the new and existing volumes of domestic energy available for us.  We also find it interesting how little it is reported that the Obama Administration is standing in the way of releasing the leases necessary to drill and harvest these vast resources that would so greatly improve our economy and restore the prosperity of individual citizens.

What we need to do as Americans is to get together and with one Tea Party like voice demand that Obama and his Secretary of The Interior release the leases that our Oil companies need to drill for oil out west on federal lands and offshore all around our country and Alaska so that we can build up America and strengthen our freedom through massive infusions of domestic energy.

The Liberty Tree Lantern is happy to provide just one story, of dozens of available, regarding domestic American energy just waiting for the Obama Administration to let us produce the energy we so desperately need to lower our costs of everything.   Please send a personal message to Congress via, paper, e-mail and phone that you want Obama to release the drilling leases immediately.  Tell them to DRILL  HERE AND DRILL NOW!  (Do you know that Obama is stealing American taxpayer money to “give” to Brazil for ‘them’ to drill for oil offshore?  See:  U.S. Taxpayers to Provide Financing To Brazil for “Their” Offshore Drilling)

When you write or talk to your Congressman, make sure that you mention that the LAST thing we need are taxes on energy that will increase costs on every single thing the American family needs to live and businesses need to create well paying jobs.  Reject Cap-n-TAX in any form, folks, because such taxes will set our entire country back by decades destroy jobs, wealth, savings and create poverty.

The Liberty Tree Lantern has a few questions for our readers to ponder: 

1. Why, after the people of America demanded that the ban on offshore and western Federal Lands expire, which it did some months ago now, has the Obama Administration withheld exploration leases and not allowed oil companies to go where they know the domestic oil likely is for exploration and harvest? 
2. Why is the Obama Administration keeping America from our own domestic energy instead of depending on and importing energy from other countries?
3. Why doesn’t the majority of mainstream media report on the Billions of Barrels of crude oil available in Western Federal Lands and offshore when this energy would obviously improve the lives of so many Americans?
4. America is in a horrible recession RIGHT NOW that could OBVIOUSLY be greatly remedied by dramatically increasing that availability of our own massive volumes of domestic energy, doesn’t the Obama Administration care about the average individual American who is out of work and quickly running out of money due to job loss and increased prices on utility bills, gasoline, food and just about everything else?

Editor’s note: This is another is a series of monthly “Freedom Index” polls conducted exclusively for WND by the public opinion research and media consulting company Wenzel Strategies.

Almost half of the Americans who responded to a new poll say they have concerns about the impact of carbon dioxide on the climate, but two out of three say they have no interest whatsoever in opening their wallets to pay for any mitigation.

Asked whether they “believe that man-produced carbon dioxide and other so-called greenhouse gases will induce catastrophic climate change” if unaddressed, 49.6 percent of the respondents said yes. Twenty-seven percent said no, and 23.4 percent were uncertain. The concern from Democrats and Republicans was reversed with Democrats saying 10-1 yes and Republicans saying 2-1 no.

However, when asked if they were willing to “pay significantly higher energy bills in the hope of heading off what some scientists believe to be impending climate change,” 63.6 percent said no. That included Democrats by a margin of almost 3-1 and members of the GOP by 12-1.

The WND/Wenzel survey was conducted July 12-17 using an automated telephone technology calling a random sampling of listed telephone numbers nationwide. The survey included 16 questions and carries a 95 percent confidence interval. It included 807 adult respondents. It carries a margin of error of +/– 3.4 percentage points.

“This dramatizes the decades-old problem that environmental activists have had in pushing for structural change in society to accommodate fears of environmental doom – many people may agree that some long-term harm may befall humanity, but they are much more concerned about the short-term cost,” said pollster Fritz Wenzel.

“After an unusually cold winter followed by a summer where U.S. temperatures have been unusually mild, the urgency to act is clearly waning in the minds of many,” he said.

Only 15.2 percent responded they are willing to pay much more, while 21.2 percent said they were uncertain.

Asked about the pending “cap and trade” legislation in Congress that restricts the amount of carbon dioxide and water vapor that can be produced – generating financial penalties for violators – only 23.7 percent of the respondents support the measure.

Nearly 42 percent opposed it and another 35 percent were unsure.

“As the U.S. Senate considers the bill, the fact that fewer than one in four Americans favors its passage should give them serious pause,” Wenzel commented.

The core of the opposition appeared to be the costs, but Americans also were worried about the impact on the economy from rocketing prices for gasoline, natural gas, electricity and other sources of energy.

“Nearly half – 46 percent said they think it will harm the economy. And while President Obama and other Democrats have been touting the concept of ‘green jobs’ as the savior of the wallowing economy, few are buying it, our polling shows,” according to Wenzel.

“Just 17 percent said they think ‘Cap and Trade’ will help the economy. Even Democrats are unconvinced – just 26 percent said they think it will help the economy, while an identical percentage of Democrats said it will cause economic harm,” he said.

There also were significant doubts about the constitutionality of the tax program and concerns about its wisdom.

Fewer than 25 voters out of 100 believed the plan to limit production of natural gases that are not actual pollutants, such as carbon dioxide and water vapor event, is constitutional. Nearly 32 percent said it violates the nation’s founding document, and about 43 percent were unsure.

Forty-five percent said it just isn’t wise for the government to attempt it, and 30 percent said they weren’t sure. Only 24.9 percent agreed with the wisdom of the taxing program.

“Even among those who voted for Obama in the November elections, less than one-third (30 percent) said they believed it was constitutional. And, among those same Obama voters, just 31 percent said they thought it was wise to try to regulate man–breathed carbon dioxide and water vapor,” Wenzel said.

“[It] creates a problem for the Obama administration at a time when his job approval rating is sinking and his legislative agenda remains packed with controversial proposals,” Wenzel said. “With the public so heavily weighted against it, to pass ‘Cap and Trade’ may cost the Obama administration much more political capital than it can afford, especially given the looming battle over health care reform.”

Wenzel is president of Wenzel Strategies a public opinion research and media consulting company. Formerly associated with Zogby International, he spent 25 years as a news and political reporter for major metro dailies.

WND recently reported when former Vice President Al Gore, whose “An Inconvenient Truth” video epistle on the claims of global warming has not weathered recent scientific research, promised at a conference in the United Kingdom that the impending virtual energy tax under the U.S. “cap-and-trade” legislation will bring about “global governance.”

Gore, who this year famously left his Nashville mansion’s driveway brightly illuminated during the “Earth Hour” event that promoted energy savings, was speaking at the Smith School World Forum on Enterprise and the Environment.

He said the “cap-and-trade” legislation will be beneficial.

“But it is the awareness itself that will drive the change, and one of the ways it will drive the change is through global government and global agreements,” he said.

His address was captured on video and posted on YouTube:

Only a few weeks ago, a former NASA climatologist asserted global warming simply isn’t happening.

While so-called “global warming” was supposed to bring more and more horrific hurricanes, according to many scientists and politicians, since 2005 only one major hurricane has struck North America.

WND also reported that a team of scientists with years of expertise in climate issues recently wrote to Congress asserting the “sky is not falling” and there is no evidence man is causing global warming.

The letter was signed by physics professors Robert H. Austin and William Happer of Princeton, environmental sciences professor S. Fred Singer of the University of Virginia, retired manager for strategic planning at ExxonMobil Roger Cohen, physics professor (emeritus) Harold W. Lewis at UC-Santa Barbara and others.

WND also has reported on the Petition Project, which has compiled the signatures of more than 31,000 scientists, including some 9,000 Ph.D.s, who flatly reject the “global warming” agenda

See detailed results of survey questions:

Do you believe that man-produced carbon dioxide and other so-called greenhouse gases will induce catastrophic climate change on the planet if they are not addressed?

The U.S. House of Representatives recently passed a Cap and Trade bill that restricts the amount of carbon dioxide and water vapor that can be produced and imposed stiff penalties on violators. Supporters say it will help stop global climate change, but critics say it won’t help and will cause significant increases in the cost of energy and other products. Based on what you know about this bill, do you favor it or oppose it?

Are you willing to pay significantly higher energy bills in the hope of heading off what some scientists believe to be impending climate change?

If it becomes law, how do you think the Cap and Trade bill will affect the U.S. economy?

Do you believe it is constitutional for the U.S. government to impose limits on the production of natural gases that are not actual pollutants, such as man-produced carbon dioxide and water vapor?

Do you believe it is wise for the U.S. government to impose limits on the production of natural gases that are not actual pollutants?

The U.S. House of Representatives may vote this Friday on the “American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009” (the Waxman-Markey bill).  We need the many voices of the Partnership for America’s Energy Security to write and call your legislators, urging them to oppose this harmful and misguided legislation.

Addressing climate change is an important issue, and the U.S. oil and natural gas industry has made substantial commitments to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.  The industry supports balanced legislation to reduce greenhouse gases and replace the patchwork of state and federal regulatory programs, but the Waxman-Markey bill is not the answer.  This hastily drafted legislation would:

• Significantly increase consumer and business costs for gasoline and other fuels;
• Hurt American refiners—costing U.S. jobs and impeding our nation’s ability to produce energy domestically;
• Discourage domestic development of clean-burning natural gas.

We ask that you take two immediate actions:

• Call your U.S. Representative and urge him or her to vote “NO” on the Waxman-Markey American Clean Energy and Security Act
  Just call 877-354-7783 toll free, enter your PIN—10456—listen to the brief instructions, and you will be patched through to your U.S. Representative’s office automatically.
• Send an email to your U.S. Representative urging him or her to vote “NO” on the Waxman-Markey bill
  Visit the Partnership website to send an email.  It takes just a few minutes to participate.

Our nation needs sensible energy policies that meet economic and environmental needs—without giving advantages to foreign competitors or costing U.S. jobs. Unfortunately, the Waxman-Markey bill will cause new problems without solving our nation’s energy needs.

Remember—your voice is a vital part of our nation’s discussion about energy. Please take action on this issue today. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Bill Rozett

ACTION NEEDED

threat to our nation’s economy and energy security.  The Administration is proposing at least $400 billion in new taxes and fees on the oil and natural gas industry, which would result in:

Raising taxes in a time of economic decline is a recipe for disaster.  Public policy should spur job growth, not hurt businesses and consumers.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

Take Action Today!

Thank you to all of the Partnership members who have already contacted their legislators about this important issue.  If you haven’t had a chance to take action, there is still time!

Let your Members of Congress know that you oppose tax and fee hikes on the oil and natural gas industry.

Please take the following two actions:

It’s critical that we add our voices
to the debate—before it’s too late!

Kathleen Sebelius, a Global Warming nutcase and Illegal Alien enabler is the last person we need at HHS.

Kathleen Sebelius is another Global Warming nutcase.  She has three times, as Governor of Kansas, vetoed a coal fired power plant in Kansas, exceeding her State Constitutional authority.  America will soon realize what Kansans have known for awhile.   The way she did it was pretty shocking.  She declared that burning coal is inherently hazardous to Americans health because anything that emits carbon dioxide, such as humans exhaling, is a hazard.  The way Kansas law is structured she could only deny a permit to the power plant if it the building was dangerous or emitted a pollutant.  Under Kansas law carbon dioxide isn’t a pollutant.

She reminds me of Joe Biden in Ohio in September of 2008 when he said that China could build clean coal plants but America could not.  Who the hell is Biden to deny Americans cheap coal energy, the S.O.B.!  B.O. and his administration has been against coal and nuclear power plants every step of the way since day one.  But yet B.O.  lied when he stated that he was not against them during his campaign.  B.O. lied, people losing their homes due to high energy costs, cried; as they sit on the curb holding their children’s hands shivering in the cold and being forced by our “merciful” U.S. Government to be “herded” into BIG BROTHER Government TV and sound monitored one and two bedroom crime ridden welfare apartments or more properly called “projects”.  That is where they are going to herd us all into, after they cause us to lose our jobs and all our money by destroying our economy, so we don’t have a large “carbon footprint”.   Isn’t that special?

Sure,  Government breaks our legs, gives us crutches and then states; “See without us you wouldn’t even be able to walk”.

50% of our energy is from coal.  Sebelius, who B.O. appointed,  thinks that we shouldn’t build a new coal fired power plant anywhere. And, that is despite the fact that coal is our cheapest, most abundant form of power.  And, when she vetoed the power plant in Kansas she stopped the creation of Twenty Five Thousand important jobs.  To refuse this during tough economic times is absolutely ludacris!

When you get 50% of your power from coal, America, and the Administration and Congress are pushing hard for “Cap and Trade carbon credits” super taxation on carbon dioxide, gee, do ya think the cost of heat, light and electricity is going to go up next year?  You better buy some good hefty blankets, if you want to stay in your homes next winter because you sure as heck are not going to be able to afford the utility bills, thanks to our wonderful Congress and Administration.  Isn’t that special?

Sebelius, the Health and Human Services Director appointee, is a big advocate of Socialist universal healthcare.  A few weeks ago the U.S. Congress passed a new SCHIP bill.  The bill, which few people knew, took away the existing requirement to make sure that a State check to make sure that a person is legally present in the United States before agreeing to use taxpayer money to pay for these services.  Enter Kathleen Sebelius, who favors giving away in State tuition to Illegal Aliens and favors drivers licenses to Illegal Aliens.  She is the LAST person we want interpreting the this new law and issuing regulations, because she will certainly ensure that States can’t check for legal status anymore.  Oh my God!  Our economy is going bust, we are losing our homes, States are BILLIONS of Dollars in debt and now we have to pay for the Health Care of Illegal Aliens through raises on our personal Income Taxes?  This will facilitate all of our States going down the same path as California.  Isn’t that special?  My, what a great U.S. Government we’ve  got hey?  With U.S. Congressional Representatives and Senators, and Administration cabinet personal like this, who needs enemies?

Time to get another fix with a box or three of Ammo, again.   I think I’m going to buy another rope and tie a noose for the Liberty Tree too.   Bye, Capt. leaving the deck…
