Pelosi Statement on Earth Day April 20, 2012

Washington, D.C. – Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today in recognition of Earth Day, which falls on Sunday, April 22:

“For more than four decades, Earth Day has brought Americans together to protect the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the environment we all share. This day is an opportunity to rededicate ourselves to the cause of a cleaner planet, to the promise of a clean energy economy, to the potential of new technologies, and to the movement to confront the challenge of climate change.

“Democrats in Congress and an army of allies nationwide have led the charge for action – taking concrete steps to expand the clean energy sector, invest in research and launch new industries, create good-paying jobs at home, and cut energy costs for families, workers, and businesses.

“Too often, the environment – from clean air and clean water to the drive for innovation – has come under direct attack by our Republican colleagues. Yet the future of our environment must not fall prey to partisan political games. We must work together to reduce our dangerous dependence on foreign oil, promote and develop renewable sources of energy, lower emissions, and build on Americans’ extraordinary success in conservation.

“Addressing this challenge is about building a more sustainable future for our children and grandchildren, securing prosperity and opportunity for all, and keeping America number one across the globe. And on this Earth Day, we must continue the fight to preserve our environment, strengthen our economy, and combat the crisis of global warming, for ourselves and for generations to come.”

Democrats could have the most positive effect on Mother Earth by removing themselves. It wouldn’t hurt my feelings either.

The planet has been through a lot worse than us. Been through all kinds of things worse than us. Been through earthquakes, volcanoes, plate tectonics, continental drift, solar flares, sun spots, magnetic storms, the magnetic reversal of the poles…hundreds of thousands of years of bombardment by comets and asteroids and meteors, worlwide floods, tidal waves, worldwide fires, erosion, cosmic rays, recurring ice ages…And we think some plastic bags, and some aluminum cans are going to make a difference? The planet…the planet…the planet isn’t going anywhere. WE ARE! - George Carlin

Although Einhorn was only the master of ceremonies at the first Earth Day event, he maintains that Earth Day was HIS IDEA and that he’s responsible for launching it.

Message to Bella Pelosi: I celebrated "Earth Day" by watching an hour long piece I recorded from the Crime Channel about its *FOUNDER*,one Ira Einhorn (pictured below).I think the most enjoyable part of the show was seeing how,after the police found his girlfriend's dead body in his closet,he fled to Europe and evaded capture for 20 years and,when finally ordered to be deported by a European court he tries to slit his jugular like a little girl.

He's all yours,Bella...and you're welcome to him!

[Democrats are] taking concrete steps to expand the clean energy sector, invest in research and launch new industries, create good-paying jobs at home, and cut energy costs for families, workers, and businesses.

Sure glad the price I pay for gasoline has gone down from the exorbitant levels we were paying under the evil Dr. Booosh.

Apparently she's been earning her diploma at "Dr. Obama's School of Prevarications."

This woman is plainly bat sh!t crazy.
