Thank you for helping to support the Murkowski Resolution of Disapproval - a resolution that would stop the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from pursuing its backdoor cap and trade schemes. Your help - sending emails, making phone calls - on behalf of the resolution has brought the roster of bipartisan cosponsoring Senators up to 41. Now, we're asking you to take action again to push the Murkowski Resolution across the finish line.That's why we're declaring Tuesday, May 25 a Day of Action to Stop the EPA.
It looks like the long-awaited Murkowski Resolution of Disapproval will be up for vote shortly. Many readers have taken action to urge their Senators to cosponsor the bill (if you haven't, do so here) and these efforts have helped bring the bipartisan support up to 41 cosponsors.
Recently, the Obama administration unveiled its plan to implement a policy that the Institute for Energy Research (IER) reports would “require that new cars and light trucks get an average of 35.5 miles per gallon by 2016.” This fuel economy mandate imposed upon automakers is an irrational policy because as IER reports:
There's no rest for weary tea partiers - Project 21 and FreedomWorks fellow Deneen Borelli has a hard-hitting piece at the Daily Caller about the next big battle, the EPA's CO2 regulation scheme.
With cap-and-trade legislation nearly dead in the Senate, the Obama administration now hopes to ram climate regulation through the backdoor.
By now you should have heard all about the People's Surge Against ObamaCare 2.0 on March 16. If not, go here to get caught up.
Tuesday looks like it will be a nice 64 degrees and partly cloudy, great protesting weather. Bring yourself, a friend or five, and comfortable walking shoes - we have alot of ground to cover.
Slowly but surely, Democratic support for the EPA’s regulation of greenhouse gases is waning. Recently, West Virginia Democratic Sen. John Rockefeller introduced legislation that would prohibit the EPA from going forward with its regulation scheme for the next two years. Sen. Rockefeller, a coal state Democrat, contends that protecting jobs is vital, and that that is precisely what his EPA proof legislation intends to do. Politico reports that Sen.
Sen. Murkowski isn't the only one with a resolution to stop the EPA from regulating greenhouse gases under its endangerment finding. Like the 41 Senators now backing the Murkowski resolution, a similar bipartisan efforts is now underway in the House:
Two top House Democrats have introduced a measure aimed at blocking the Environmental Protection Agency from regulating pollution-causing greenhouse gases.
Apparently a mere $10 billion in FY11 isn't enough for EPA Adminstrator Lisa Jackson to finish her diabolical economy crushing plan. So she trekked up to the Hill this week looking for more taxdollars to pay for greenhouse gas regs.
It has been reported that 16 lawsuits have been officially filed against the EPA endangerment finding, a ruling by the agency that allows them to regulate greenhouse gases as pollutants under the Clean Air Act.
