Most of the email for Representatives do not allow for people out of their Districts to contact them and my Representative is Steny Hoyer, I have emailed him several times and called his office in Waldorf , and they are polite.

That ‘s it . They are polite.

Steny has a close personal relationship with Obama, much like a sucker fish to a shark.

He should recall the Texas National Guard to return home. Why do you think the NG of every state has been turned over to the US Military command? Control of the States, complete control. I have no problem with them being mobilized to defend the country from attack, or in the event of a war, but for political purposes in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and numerous other places? If the Federal Govt wants more troops, they should recruit them, instead of extending the NG endlessly. This usage of them by GW Bush and now Obama, virtually guarantees that few will join in the future.

Perry should kick the EPA out of Texas and warn King Obama.

Perry should explain to America what -bama wants to do to make "electricity rates necessarily skyrocket" and to tell -bama to expedite the EPA shutdown of our powerplants. Let's let Perry allow -bama to go full bore into dip $#i+ anti-capitalist/fascist/socialist/communist/DEMOCRAT anti-Americanism. Shut down 25% of America's energy refining and chemical production, please!!! Here's an opportunity to give the wannabe cave dwellers the chance to live like they so dearly hope to (I say "hope" because they deny the existence of God so don't know what prayer is). Let the Owl gores roast this summer and freeze next winter. Let them sit around in the dark unable to charge their iCrap or watch their crap on MTV. This is a wonderful opportunity for all of us that have said "I wish for one day that they could experience what they hope for". I can survive it and welcome it to watch them endure what they have condemned us for for so long. Bring it on.

IF Perry really wanted to be POTUS he would ignore the ruling by the EPA or any Federal Court and taunt Obama with this:

"He has made his law, now let him come enforce it".

With apologies to the late and not at all great Andrew Jackson.

“Perry should kick the EPA out of Texas and warn King Obama.”

This is EXACTLY what he should do.

This is what MUST be done.

It has to happen on a “state-wide” level, hence, from the governor backed up by the legislature.

If one state stands up to them, it will encourage _other states_ to do the same.

Perry should send the Texas Rangers to literally round up all E.P.A. operatives in the state, and kindly escort them (under duress) to the border.

And issue a notice to the administration that any attempt to send them back in, will be met with more of the same.

Otherwise — the EPA wins.

Just sayin’....

I thought that needed to be repeated! BTTT!

"Texas was not included in the EPA's draft rule related to sulfur dioxide cuts because EPA modeling had shown little downwind impact from Texas power plants on other states.

"On Thursday, however, the EPA said Texas would be required to meet lower SO2 limits to avoid allowing the state to increase emissions.

"Five states -- Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Louisiana, Massachusetts, along with the District of Columbia -- were dropped from the final EPA rule"

Did anyone else pick up on the 5 dropped states?
Connecticut = blue state
Delaware = blue state
Florida = purply state
Louisiana = blue state
Massachusetts = blue state
DC = really blue
Texas = red state

A last minute add? Obummer really has it in for Texas and we should just refuse to take it. Immigration and refusal to declare state of emergency for 2 million burned acres! Come on Gov. Perry, stick it in his eye.

Is Texas a net exporter of electricity? Pull Texas off the interstate power grid.
