Tell your Congressmembers to ask EPA head Stephen Johnson to resign

Public Citizen, a respected public safety group in Washington, DC, is asking Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) head Stephen Johnson to resign. We need this federal executive branch agency to actually fight for the environment. Please ask your two US Senators and US Representative to support this cause- send a letter from Public Citizen's web site, or call them directly at 202-224-3121 now. Thank you.

Sound science should overrule high powered lobbying

Our legislators in Washington have increasingly over recent years taken stock on the ill-educated lobby industry over sound scientific advise. Clearly, there is a campaign finance element behind this, as this is a corruption of the decision-making process for our Congress and President. Below is a letter I wrote to my U.S. Representative on the topic and corn ethanol, as an blind alternative energy issue drive in Washington:


Dear Representative Neugebauer,
I understand the federal government is still moving forward on the scientific fallacy that ethanol is an improvement on our environment. Quite the opposite! The subsidies from Congress has encouraged a replacement of the food of corn and raised it's price and the entire food chain corn gives! Also, the subsidies encourage a plowing away of land around the world to land cover that is much worse for the climate than what was already there! Please, let's consider more effective alternative fuels before the high-powered lobbyists once again take the place of sound science.
Thanks in advance, David Weller

Tell the EPA to allow states to regulate car emissions

California and 11 other states have passed bills to cut global warming pollution from cars. But the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is standing in the way. Yes, the ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION Agency [emphasis mine].

In spite of a recent Supreme Court ruling urging the EPA to FIGHT GLOBAL WARMING, they have not taken the first modest step of granting states a routine waiver to cut auto emissions. Please, do your part-- ask the EPA Administrator to grant California's waiver to regulate car emissions; help pave the way for statewide global warming actions across the country.

The EPA is doing damage right now by not helping. The fight against global warming starts at the local level, and states are having a stronger effect than our feds.
