House votes to block EPA from implementing new water-regulation plan
Fox News ^ | May 13, 2015 | AP

The House of Representatives on Tuesday voted to block the EPA from implementing a new plan that critics say could significantly broaden the agency's ability to impose environmental regulations over America's waterways.

Many farmers and landowners across the country say rules proposed last year by the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers would give federal regulators even more say over waters. The issue had become a hotly contested one for many who say there are already too many government regulations affecting their businesses.

The House bill, approved by a 261-155 vote, would force the EPA to withdraw the rules and consult with state and local officials before rewriting them.

So they will consult with state and local officials, threaten some source of funding with a cut, and viola’ state and local officials approve, no muss, no fuss.

Baby steps, my FRiend. It can’t be stressed enough how important State and local elections are. I don’t care if it is a local statehouse representative, county commissioner, town councilman, school board member, local sheriff, the judge, or the dogcatcher... all candidates need to be GRILLED MERCILESSLY to determine their core values, before, during and AFTER all elections. Circle the wagons and fight the extraconstitutional overreach of the Federal Government at EVERY TURN. Constitutionalist Conservative values are where they need to start. If a candidate is unwilling to stand for and live to support these basic values, they fail my “litmus test”... and are not fit to serve.

When they are serious they will legislate that Congress shall ONLY be in session for 2 weeks of the year, during which time they shall propose and vote on bills, and vote on a budget. The other 50 weeks of the year they can go home and work their “other job” picking up litter on the side of the road.
