Virginia, House Republicans battle Obama and EPA
March 2, 2012 at 3:41 pm in Accountability, News by Cathy 9 Comments
Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli joined 14 other states in challenging the Environmental Protection Agency’s regulation of greenhouse gases.
Attorney Generals are challenging the EPA’s rule on greenhouse gases. In discussing the EPA rule Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli referred to the EPA as the “Employment Prevention Agency“ and voiced concern that the EPA’s policies could cost every American household thousands of dollars per year. Virginia is joined by Texas, Alabama, Florida, Hawaii, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota and Utah.
The House Energy and Commerce Committee also sent a letter to the OMB. In this letter 221 Bipartisan House Members ask the OMB to Stop EPA’s Costly Regulation on Power Plants.
Dick Morris also agrees with Cuccinelli and Commerce Committee. “Many people believe that our great nation will be energy independent in the next several years” he said while speaking to Tea Party Coordinators from across the country in January. “We have the capability to be independent of the need for foreign oil. We need to allow production of our country’s resources in order to reduce the dependency on foreign oil.” Morris went on to say he believes the US can be energy independent as soon as 2016.
House Speaker John Bohener has also renewed calls for the Obama Administration saying, the fact that Transcanada is moving forward on part of the pipeline means Obama should just approve it.” House Republicans have launched The American Energy Initiative, a plan that proposes to save taxpayers money by increasing the production of oil and energy in the United States. The Keystone XL Pipeline is part of that plan.
A recent Huffington Post article reports that Transcanada announced plans to begin building the southern part of the pipeline from Oklahoma to the Gulf of Mexico. Transcanada states that this portion of the pipeline would be used to ship oil overseas.
Despite the Obama Administration’s stance on the Keystone Project, Former President Bill Clinton is on record as supporting the pipline, saying “We should embrace it.”
He’s not alone. Union leaders like Terry O’Sullivan of LIUNA (Laborers’ International Union of North America) and William P. Hite (The United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipe Fitting Industry) have both blasted President Obama for “letting job-killers win.”
“We had hoped the decision would have been made on the basis of economics, facts and the best interests of the nation, not on the basis of a political calculation.”

VOTERS: ARE YOU BRAINWASHED AND DO NOT KNOW IT ?
ARE ROMNEY s Super Pacs DICTATING WHO TO VOTE FOR ?
“Restore America”, “Restore Our Future” et all, = Romney’s ‘super PACs”=
Murderous attack dogs WITH PRIVILEGE AND LICENCE TO LIE, DECEIVE, KILL REPUTATIONS WITH IMPUNITY.
PAID BY ANONYMOUS BILLIONAIRES and MILLONAIRES .
They can NOT be dragged into court since The Federal Election Commission will levy only modest fines.
Ron Paul’s Pac has a commercial calling Santorun a fake conservative. This is in content A DUPLICATE of the Romney’s Commercial ! Coincidental ?
Romney and Paul playing it like they did in Michigan. Will you allow it ?
These perfidious Pacs depend, bank on the natural DECENCY of the american people that KNOW SLANDER IS SEVERELY PUNISHABLE BY LAW , so that the defamation against Santorum “must be true” . WELL, IT IS NOT !
WHY THE BILLIONAIRES are trying to ram The Former Mormon Bishop down Our
Throats ?
If the Pac succeeds in purchasing the nomination for Romney, Obama will have 4 more glorious years. Investigate for yourselves.
Romney is THE GREATEST flip flopper that ever was !

Rick Santorum respects us enough to tell us the real truth. Common sense tells us: It takes MORE than 1 ( ONE ) vote to pass a law.
Ron Paul is living proof that voting alone results in failed causes. He used his 1 vote against legislation again and again…and the laws he opposed continued to pass anyway.
WAKE UP AMERICA, FOLLOW YOUR HEART. BELIEVE !
RICK SANTORUM IS THE ONE WITH A BRAVE HEART and WILL UNSEAT OBAMA Reposted by We The People- Standard Bearers for Andrew Breitbart !

Governor Huckabee: “If a man’s dishonest to get a job, he’ll be dishonest on the job.”
Lores, Get it together. You’re ranting. I don’t like Romney either…here’s why: I’m originally from the NE and a NE Republican is really only a moderate Democrat. Vermont elected an actual, avowed Socialist, for Pete’s sake!! He is behaving like a Democrat…saying and doing whatever he thinks it takes to get elected (not necessarily lies, but half truths framed to make the others look bad.) The character assassination of his opponents by his supporters seems so like the Dems! And the media, which favors Obama, seems to be giving him a pass…what’s that about? He says it is not in his nature to attack his opponent. Does that mean he will be sweet to Obama when the time comes? We’ve been running boring moderates (Dole, McCain) lately with no success. (Though the idea of creating unbelievable excitement with the first black president was genius…pretty much unbeatable.) We need a real conservative. I like Gingrich, but Santorum would be great too. They both have the guts to tell it like it is. I think Newt has a more clear plan. But let’s face it…I will vote for anyone but Obama.
Thanks for your feedback. Let’s hope the best true conservative wins.
Regarding the EPA: It was established to clean our air and water. The situation was pretty bad in some areas back in the day. But, after they cleaned up most of the problems (polluted water, acid rain, inappropriate dumping of trash, nuclear waste, etc.) they must just be sitting around dreaming up ridiculous stuff to justify their phony-baloney jobs (got that from “Blazing Saddles”) I would start by repealing the “endangered species act”. The EPA requires extensive studies before any building project can be started. Projects are delayed years for the study, and longer if they find some bug or grass that we would kill if we saw it. This is why there were no “shovel ready jobs”. It is impossible under the EPA. Now (and for years) they have been strangling all of the proven, affordable, USA energy production: coal, oil, gas, nuclear. They are destroying this country! How can we run factories, trucking, skyscrapers, offices, computers on wind and solar? It’s been tried for years and it’s not going to happen anytime soon. The govt. may be useful during the research phase…but marketing should be left to the public sector. These products are not ready for prime time. So, these states are doing the right thing, and I wish them success.
Thank you for your feedback.
