Please join us on Thursday, December 22nd for an engaging evening with Author and Vice President of Americans for Prosperity, Phil Kerpen.
Phils new book, Democracy Denied, is a guide to understanding and defeating the radical agenda that President Barack Obama is implementing by unilateral regulatory action through his agencies and czars. It exposes the Obama administration's agenda that disregards the American people, Congress, and the U.S. Constitution and offers a plan of action to stop it.
Mr. Kerpen regularly publishes columns and op-eds in the Wall Street Journal, on foxnews.com, National Review and in newspapers across the country and is a frequent radio and television commentator on economic freedom issues.
We know you will enjoy this informative evening with our special guest!

Taxation Without Representation" - Cap & Trade in New York
CLICK HERE TO SEND YOUR REPRESENTATIVES IN ALBANY A MESSAGE: STOP THE RGGI CAP & TRADE TAX NOW!
For the past three years, New York has participated in the RGGI Cap & Trade scheme without the authorization of the state Legislature! Already this Cap & Trade energy tax has cost New York businesses and ratepayers a staggering $327 MILLION!
Now it is up to you and me to fight back!
Americans for Prosperity will be educating citizens about this Cap & Trade scheme that threatens to drive our electricity rates through the roof and kill thousands of jobs across New York.
New Yorkers already pay the second highest electricity rates in the nation and we cannot afford this additional tax on our electricity bills!

Late last week, a group of 100 U.S. Representatives sent a letter to the so-called Super Committee urging the handpicked group of twelve legislators to consider all options for mandatory and discretionary spending and revenues in order to reach the committees goal of $1.2 trillion in deficit reduction over the next ten years. In Washington, speak this is code for raising taxes.
Five New York Republicans signed that letter: Peter King (R-NY 3), Bob Turner (R-NY 9), Mike Grimm (R-NY 13), Richard Hanna (R-NY 24), and Tom Reed (R-NY 24).

New York is part of the 10 state Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, a cap and trade scheme.
Unlike the other 9 states, the NYS Legislature never voted on RGGI's participation. This cap and trade program that requires that energy producing plants that emit CO2 to purchase permits was implemented by a Memorandum of Understanding by Governor Pataki and an Executive Order by Governor Paterson.
To date, NY has collected over $320 Million dollars on these required permits driving the cost of electricity up. With New York having the third highest electricity rates in the nation, businesses and ratepayers continue to struggle to pay these astronomical costs or they up and leave as 1.6 million people have done in the last decade.
Learn more about this unconstitutional tax, NJ's withdrawal, repeal efforts in other states, the legal challenges to NY RGGI, the impact on local communities and what you can do to reverse this ultra vires tax.
