Ask the BlueDogs: What PLANET Do You Live On?
BlueDog "Democrats" are waging a quiet but crucial battle to kill this year's global warming bill. Thanks to Republican opposition, we're already two decades behind in taking decisive action - and next year is an election year. President Obama wants action now, but he's being blocked by BlueDogs.
“New Dems are in a tough spot,” said one Blue Dog member, explaining that New Democrats are more likely to have an environmental constituency at odds with their business constituency. Blue Dogs, by comparison, have more freedom simply to vote no on climate change legislation.
So BlueDogs plan to simply vote NO - and do nothing about global warming?
Here's a simple question for all the BlueDogs: What planet do you live on??? Because the one we live on is in deep trouble.
Below is the current list of BlueDogs. Call them and post their replies below. Maybe if they hear from enough of us, they will realize they live on Earth - just like all the rest of us.

Update 1: dday nails it as always:
Whew, I wouldn't want those Blue Dogs to feel conflicted about voting against doing something about a boiling planet! Thank Jeebus they have some "freedom."
