In 2000 and 2001, while Barack Obama served as a board member for a Chicago-based charitable foundation, he helped to fund a pioneering carbon trading exchange that is likely to fill a critical role in the controversial cap-and-trade carbon reduction scheme that President Obama is now trying to push rapidly through Congress.

A d v e r t i s e m e n t

During those two years, the Joyce Foundation gave nearly $1.1 million in two separate grants that were instrumental in developing and launching the privately-owned Chicago Climate Exchange, which now calls itself “North America’s only cap and trade system for all six greenhouse gases, with global affiliates and projects worldwide.”

One of those gases is carbon dioxide, the most ubiquitous greenhouse gas and the focus of the most far-reaching — and contentious — efforts to combat “climate change.” On Monday, Obama’s Environmental Protection Agency declared carbon dioxide a public health threat.

if we the people would just reclaim our “sovereign citizenship” things of this nature could never happen, because as is stands as of right now if you have not reclaimed your “sovereign citizenship” you have no rights no declaration of independence rights, amendment rights, or any other right for that matter, THIS IS FACT that has been proven in the courts time after time,the only thing you have is 14th amendment privileges which can be given or taken at any time by the grantee.
see now i know that many of you think its just a null adhesion contract that was voided by the state or federal government abuse, but that is simply not the case, because as long as whatever is being done is being done to a people who have a “birth certificate” no matter what it is, they can do it with the backing of the courts because the grantees are sovereign people who are making things, and restricting things from a non- sovereign people, within a sovereign state, within a united corporation. and so, by reclaiming your sovereign citizenship, it restores all the rights that you where given at birthright by the state in which your born. the sovereign people would be able to make decision with the full backing of the declaration of independence, and the amended rights which where exchanged for “privileges” through adhesion contracts, please i challenge anyone who does not believe me or think im in left field about this to research, so you can see for yourself that what i speak of is FACT. please people it is the only other way then revolution to make the government get back into its proper smaller place working the the People!!!
TO ALL THOSE BORN IN AMERICA, PLEASE RECLAIM YOUR SOVEREIGN CITIZENSHIP, INDIVIDUALLY DRAW THE LINE IN THE SAND, SO WE THE PEOPLE CAN MAKE THE PUSH!!!
IF YOU ARE TO TAKE PLACE IN THE BATTLE OVER FREEDOM IN THE TRUE SENSE YOU CAN NOT, AND SHOULD NOT BE ACCEPTING ANY PRIVILEGE OR GRANT FROM THE OPPOSING FORCE, BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW WHAT ACCEPTING ANYTHING FROM OPPOSING FORCE/CORPERATION IS LABELED AS “TREASON, OR DOUBLE AGENT” THE SAD THING IS, IS THAT MOST WHO ARE, DO NOT EVEN KNOW THAT THEY ARE. WAKE UP!!WAKE UP!!!! RECLAIM WHAT IS RIGHTFULLY YOURS GIVEN TO at BIRTH, BY THE STATE IN WHICH YOU WHERE BORN!!!!!!!!!!

What I have a problem with is that they are not concerned at all about the Environment. It is just another way to tax the public.

To much paperwork!

I drive a 2009 jetta clean diesel. Only water comes out of tailpipe.

No GOVERNMENT DOUCHEBAGS required,to operate this VW!!!

You can inhale but don’t exhale . We exhale carbon dioxide. So I wonder how they write that bill up?
