MoveOn ad accuses McCotter of cozying up to Big Oil
Rep. Thaddeus McCotter is the target of an ad launched today by MoveOn.org Political Action.
The ad hits McCotter, R-Livonia, for voting against cap-and-trade legislation in the House before it recessed in August while taking $112,000 from oil interests since he was elected to Congress.
"When it came time for Congressman Thaddeus McCotter to vote for new jobs for Michigan, he chose to stand with the fat cat big energy donors who have funded his campaigns," Justin Ruben, executive director of MoveOn, said in a press release announcing the ad.
The ad, called "Paid for By Big Oil" will air in Michigan, Missouri, Montana and Virginia.

cap and trade
When I see all these Michigan manufacturing jobs that have been NAFTA-ed off to Mexico.
I'm grateful for my energy sector job with an oil company. I worry that "Cap and trade" could, in time, send me to the unemployment line.
If you look closely at cap and trade, there are plenty of reasons to be concerned that it will cause even more jobs to be lost here in Michigan. Here in this link you can see that, not only is Rep McCotter concerned about the possibly of cap and trade, causing even more Michigan manufacturing jobs to get outsourced, but Some of the Michigan Democrats also see the potential harm this cap and trade could bring to Michigan families.

Cap and trade could be even worse than NAFTA.
