Obama Wants Cap and Trade Next Year: Where Is Jack?

In recent news reports, President Obama has promised that he is committed to pushing Cap and Trade national energy tax legislation through Congress next year. Any Cap and Tax scheme from Washington will surely mean hard times for Kentucky's coal industry, all of the other industries that rely on affordable energy from coal, and all of the Kentucky families who rely on those jobs to put food on the table.

Where is Jack?

Jack Conway's friends, President Obama, Nancy Pelosi and the liberal Washington crowd, are planning on forcing their job-killing agenda onto Kentucky and our hardworking families will pay the price, and Conway wants to go to Washington to be just another rubber stamp for the Obama-Pelosi agenda. Why won't Jack stand up for Kentucky families?

As reported in the Louisville Courier-Journal and Paducah Sun, Conway originally supported Cap and Trade. (Courier-Journal, 7/11/2009; Paducah Sun, 7/16/2009)

Now since Jack wants to be sent to Washington he has flip- flopped on the issue. (Courier-Journal, 11/29/2009)

How can we trust him?

So, on protecting Kentucky jobs...Where is Jack?

Kentucky will never know...until Kentucky families are hurting from him and his liberal friends' job-killing schemes.

Dr. Rand Paul understands the toll that a Cap and Trade national energy tax will take on the coal industry, coal jobs and the people who depend on them. As a senator, Dr. Paul will stand up for Kentucky families and Kentucky jobs, by fighting against and stopping the Obama-Pelosi-Conway agenda.
