Astroturf Alert??
Environmental Defense Action Fund ^ | 03/22/2012 | Loonie Libs

Someone on facebook posted this on his wall, to which I promptly commented More Pablum for the Masses. But then I tried to find the referenced bill and came up blank, except for S.J.Res. 37 (111th): A joint resolution calling upon the President to issue a proclamation recognizing the 35th anniversary of the Helsinki Final Act. Am I missing something or is the EDF clairvoyant, or just making stuff up? I'm sure all those thoughtfully-penned letters will make a difference.

I am surprised there are not 500 posts on this thread.

So far:
No Moose
No cheese
No Bunny
No pancake
No hugh and series
No manatee
No all your turf belong to us
No sister was bitten
No shower
No belly girl
No mention of Laz hitting it

What have I left out?

Here is the background - it has passed the House as HR 2250 and was introduced into the Senate as S 1392 and that S.J. RES. 37 is different.

From this article you can see the senate version is S 1392:
EPA Needs More Time to Reconsider Boiler MACT Rules

http://www.redstate.com/cathymcmorrisrodgers/2012/02/16/epa-needs-more-time-to-reconsider-boiler-mact-rules/

Rep. Morgan Griffith’s (R-VA) bill H.R. 2250, of which I am a cosponsor, initiated the Boiler MACT legislation along with its Senate counterpart, S.1392, and enjoys broad support in Congress. The legislation passed the House by a vote of 275-142, with no Republican opposition and 41 Democrats in support. The Senate Boiler MACT bill (S. 1392) currently has 41 bipartisan cosponsors. This is an issue that affects each of us, but none more so than the hundreds of thousands of workers in critical American industries.

You are welcome! It could be a really important piece to the puzzle of blocking the EPA.

I am sorry that the other posters couldn’t be more helpful.
