The Carbon Tax AND California’s Turn at Gun Legislation

Mark Tabbert, co-founder of the Newport Beach area chapter of Citizens Climate Lobby talks about his organization's laser like focus on national legislative adoption of the Carbon Tax. The carbon tax, a revenue neutral measure, is a policy that has been supported by economists across the political spectrum. Interested individuals can get started with CCL's weekly telephone conferences and or monthly meetings by contacting one's local chapter through citizensclimatelobby.org and they can read "The Case for a Carbon Tax," by Dr. Shi-Ling Hsu. Charlie Blek, President of the OC Chapter of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, returns to the show to talk about the Colorado and New York States' recently enacted gun legislation; then offers full throated support for CA Senate Bills in the LIFE Act (Livesaving Intelligent Firearms Enforcement Act): SB 374, 396, 47, 567, 755, and 683.
