Al Gore attacks Chuck DeVore
September 29, 2009
A friend of our campaign just forwarded a remarkable email to us. It was from Al Gore. The email from the former Vice President was a financial appeal to Barbara Boxer’s supporters.
Al Gore says this about Chuck DeVore: “Assemblyman Chuck DeVore, is already campaigning hard across California. He voted against AB 32, the landmark global warming legislation…”
Al Gore is right, Chuck DeVore voted against AB 32 – and debated against it – and fought tooth and nail against its implementation every step of the way. Because, unlike Al Gore, Chuck DeVore understands that neither California, nor America, can solve a global issue on the backs of hard working Americans.
California’s AB 32 is one big reason why Forbes ranked California as having the worst tax and regulatory climate in America – we’re 50th. And, with 12.2% unemployment, the 4th highest in the nation, Californians are suffering under a foolish energy policy while China proceeds to build 100 coal-fired power plants per year AS WELL AS several modern nuclear power plants too. It’s a fact: we can completely shut California down in the name of global warming and ONE YEAR’S worth of economic growth in China would wipe out any supposed benefit.
Al Gore says that he and Boxer “had many chances to team up… on the climate crisis in her role as a tireless environmental advocate… She’s been a vital leader in our efforts to stop global warming, even when it wasn’t a popular position, and I can’t thank her enough for everything she’s done.”
The fact is that Boxer is trying to “solve” what she calls a climate “crisis” with a $2,000 per year tax on working families, rather than with a logical plan to build modern nuclear power plants while increasing other cost-effective sources of domestic energy. Boxer’s “solution” will only drive more American jobs overseas to coal-fired China, reducing American greenhouse gas emissions by eliminating American jobs.
California has already done this with AB 32 and it is not working – not for the environment, and most importantly, not for hard working Californians. We must stop what the Saturday Los Angeles Times quoted Chuck DeVore as saying was “a gigantic mistake” from spreading to the rest of America through Boxer’s cap-and-trade energy tax bill.

With Cap and Trade legislation looming which will drive up energy prices, we need a conservative in that senate seat! Boxer MUST go! – FedUpEditor
