Here you are, the context for aware and non compliant.
Dear John:
"Well, we all thought the big problem for our US democracy was Citizens
United/Koch Brothers big money in politics. Silly us; turns out that money
isn't all that important if you can conflate entertainment with the
electoral process. Trump masters TV, TV so-called news picks up and repeats
and repeats to death this opinionated blowhard and his hairbrained ideas,
free-floating discontent attaches to a seeming strongman and we're off and
running. JFK, Jr would be delighted by all this as his "George" magazine saw
celebrity politics coming. The magazine struggled as it was ahead of its
time but now looks prescient. George, of course, played the development
pretty lightly, basically for charm and gossip, like People, but what we are
dealing with now is dead serious. How does this get handled in the general?
Secretary Clinton is not an entertainer, and not a celebrity in the Trump,
Kardashian mold; what can she do to offset this? I'm certain the
poll-directed insiders are sure things will default to policy as soon as the
conventions are over, but I think not. And as I've mentioned, we've all
been quite content to demean government, drop civics and in general conspire
to produce an unaware and compliant citizenry. The unawareness remains
strong but compliance is obviously fading rapidly. This problem demands
some serious, serious thinking - and not just poll driven,
demographically-inspired messaging.
Rubio's press conference yesterday AM was good and should be repeated in its
entirety, not just in nibbles. I will attend the Clinton fundraiser here
next week but as I can only afford the low level of participation may just
get to wave without a "hello."
I fear we are all now trying to navigate a set of forces that cannot be
simply explained or fully understood, so it is and will reamin interesting!
Sent with a handshake,
Bill"

39 days to sign this Shillberto, but he forgot it because his donors told him to forget.
Carbon Tax
H.R. 2069:Save Our Climate Act of 2007. This bill would amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to impose a carbon tax based on the carbon content of primary fossil fuels.
H.R. 2069:Save Our Climate Act of 2007. This bill would amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to impose a carbon tax based on the carbon content of primary fossil fuels. The tax would be imposed on any taxable fuel—coal (including lignite and peat), petroleum and any petroleum product, and natural gas—which is extracted, manufactured, or produced in the United States or entered into the United States for consumption, use, or warehousing.
H.R. 2069:Save Our Climate Act of 2007. This bill would amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to impose a carbon tax based on the carbon content of primary fossil fuels. The tax would be imposed on any taxable fuel—coal (including lignite and peat), petroleum and any petroleum product, and natural gas—which is extracted, manufactured, or produced in the United States or entered into the United States for consumption, use, or warehousing. The tax would be imposed on the manufacturer, producer, or importer of that fuel, and would start at $10 per ton of carbon in such fuel. The bill directs the Secretary of Transportation and the Secretary of Energy to determine the carbon content of taxable fuels. For each calendar year beginning after 2008, the tax will increase at a rate of $10 per year, until the level of US CO2 emissions does not exceed 20% of 1990 levels, as determined by the Energy Information Administration. Sponsor: Rep. Fortney Stark (D-CA) (1 cosponsor)
H.R. 3416: America’s Energy Security Trust Fund Act of 2007. This bill would amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to impose a tax on the carbon dioxide content of coal (including lignite and peat), petroleum and any petroleum product, and natural gas, which is extracted, manufactured, or produced in the United States or entered into the United States for consumption, use, or warehousing. Beginning in 2008, the bill would impose a tax of $15 per ton of CO2 content, increasing incrementally each year thereafter. The bill provides for tax refunds for generated CO2 that is sequestered or offset by a qualified offset project. Revenues generated by the tax would fund the America’s Energy Security trust fund, which would be used for clean energy technology research and development, industry transition assistance, and payroll tax relief. Sponsor: Rep. John Larson (D-CT)
