Morning Briefing

For January 17, 2013


1.  ATTN Gun Owners: McConnell & Reid Cutting Deal on the Filibuster

The Senate Republican Leader and Senate Democratic Leader are cutting a deal on the filibuster.


You may think it is over and done with, but it is not.


Harry Reid, through Senate procedure, has kept the first day of business in the Senate going on. This allows the rules of the Senate to be changed with just a majority vote if he decides to claim the Senate's business does not continue and constitutes itself as a new body every two years (it's a Parliamentary thing). Meanwhile, behind the scenes Mitch McConnell and Harry Reid are cutting a deal to drastically curtail the filibuster. The left is fully on board and gearing up for this fight because they think they can get gun control through the Senate and other liberal initiatives.


Don't relax and say, "Oh well, we have the House," because we may have the House, but John Boehner is in charge of it. . . . please click here for the rest of the post

2.  Sierra Club Targets Colorado Springs, Scrubber Technology In War On Coal

In negotiations between Colorado Springs and the Sierra Club, clean coal technology has been offered up as a casualty following the Sierra Club's September 2012 threat of a lawsuit.


The Martin Drake power plant is part of the community owned Colorado Springs Utilities (CSU), and has the net capacity to provide 254 megawatts of power generation. In addition to providing power for more than 50,000 businesses and homes, Martin Drake is also the site of a clean coal technology created by Neumann Systems Group (NSG) which has been proven to remove 95% of all sulfur emissions created by burning coal. . . . please click here for the rest of the post
