According to this article from CNSNews.com, a letter from Jay Rockefeller is challenging the EPA’s attempts to regulate CO2 and bludgeon traditional providers of energy. It was signed by seven other Senators:

“The letter to EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson was signed by Democrats Mark Begich of Alaska, Robert Byrd of West Virginia, Sherrod Brown of Ohio, Bob Casey of Pennsylvania, Claire McCaskill of Missouri, Carl Levin of Michigan and Max Baucus of Montana.”

So much for that clout and tireless fighting for North Dakota that we hear about from Senators Conrad and Dorgan, eh? They can’t even stamp their name on a letter standing up for our state’s energy producers.

How’s that Hope™ and Change™ working for you, my fellow North Dakotans? Right now our state is the only one bucking the recession trend. The federal government wants to put a stop to that, and our Senators can only sit like good little Democrat pets and vote the party line. Where’s all that seniority, clout, and experience they brag about every election season?
