The House convened at 9 am today to take up the American Clean Energy and Security act. House Republicans are already tweeting about their opposition to the bill.
Rep. Judy Biggert (R-Ill.) tweeted:
I’ll be voting no on the Waxman-Markey “cap & tax” bill today. Thanks to so many of you for contacting me on this, great to see people care
Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) tweeted:
Rules Committee “approved” only one of the 220 proposed amendments. Not much of a chance for Members to offer ideas and debate issues.
Twitter feeds across the political world will certainly light up as the House proceeds on the bill. Currently, the House is taking procedural votes on the bill and debate will continue for the next three hours. Stay tuned to Twitter Room for the tweets you need to read on ACES.
