ASI E-News Survey

1. The energy overhaul bill has passed the U.S. House of Representatives and is currently before the U.S. Senate. It is predicted by some that, if passed and implemented, this bill will have the effect of "devastating the country's battered industrial base while pushing polluting industries to countries with lower environmental standards." John Boehner, R-Ohio, says, "This is the biggest job-killing bill that has ever been on the floor of the House of Representatives." Do you agree with these assessments?
Yes
No

2. Do you think the bill will pass the Senate?
