Your cost for energy is about to skyrocket

The House passed the climate bill known as Cap & Trade. This bill will add significant taxes to manufacturers who will pass those costs to consumers. The Heritage Foundation (AskHeritage.org) estimates that the average American family will see its average annual energy bill increase by $1500. That does not include the increase in the cost you will pay for everything you purchase as a result of the producers increased costs. This bill will cost millions of jobs in this country because manufacturers will relocate to less expense locations. This bill could result in the largest tax increase for Americans in history.

How will this bill help improve the climate when there will be no restrictions on the rest of the world that will begin to manufacture more as a result. America already has some of the strictest pollution requirements in the world, but many countries have virtually none.

I urge you to write your Senators and tell them you are against the Waxman-Markey bill known as Cap and Trade.

Write your congessman and tell them NO to HR45

Are you aware of HR 45 being discussed in Congress? If you value your right to bear arms, you need to write your representatives and tell them you are against HR45.

HR45 - The Blair Holt's Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act would establish a nationwide system for prohibiting unlicensed gun-ownership. If approved, the law would require gun owners to apply for five-year licenses to own firearms, and would give the U.S. Attorney General broad authority over the program. There are no co-sponsors to the bill, and there is very little chance it will be adopted.

Can't program BMW Homelink - here is a solution

Having problems programming BMW Homelink? This may be a solution. I coult not program my BMW Homelink and I have tried for 3 years. I finally got a new garage door opener and thought that would be the solution, but I still could not get it to work. I did a lot of research a theme seemed to be the distance between the remote control and the homelink button in the car. Here is how I finally got it to work.

I followed all the normal steps of erasing the codes. When I tried to program to match the remote I never got the rapid blink. I finally held the remote so it was touching the button I was programing and it blinked rapidly in a few seconds. When I pushed the learning button on the door opener, I pushed the car Homelink button once for 2 seconds, then again for 2 seconds and a third time for 2 seconds and it work. One interesting note, I was not in my garage when I got the remote to synch up with the Homelink button. I had to run out in the middle of trying to program my remote and while I was away, I held the remote to the button and got the rapid blink.

Hope this helps you.
