It’s time for government to stop meddling in America’s energy markets. Hardworking Iowans deserve an energy policy that is based on market principles, not one that is based on extending handouts to politically connected industries, such as the wind PTC.
The House Energy and Commerce Committee sent this out earlier today as a press release and has some good points of rebuttal to the current energy policies of the President.

Thanks to Daniel Garza for penning this good read.
Americans today are seeing a surge of an ancient malady we thought had long been ushered away with the likes of Spains Borgia family, Mississippi's infamous Gov.Willie Stark, past Olympic Committee members, and union bosses like Jimmy Hoffa.
I am referring to cronyism, the activity of dispensing monetary or political favors, looking the other way when criminal or regulatory violations are afoot, or covenanting payoffs in the form of government appointments, grants and contracts to political supporters, allies and associates who serve to influence elections and public policy.
The practice of favoritism based on relationships and connections - rather than someone who demonstrates top credentials and well-suited experience ultimately results in vastly inferior government service to the public.
Governor Brandstad has introduced a bold plan to provide property tax relief to Iowas taxpayers. His plan will prevent a $1.2 billion property tax increase in the next eight years and provide permanent relief from future tax hikes.
However, he needs our help to make sure the Senate passes this plan.
Thats why we are inviting you to join your fellow Americans for Prosperity - Iowa members at a townhall with Governor Brandstad and Lt. Governor Reynolds at two Town Hall style events this week!
