Enjoy Independence Day while you still can. If President Obama gets his way, this could be the last Fourth of July worth celebrating.
New ground-level ozone standards being pushed by Obama and the Environmental Protection Agency would result in widespread bans on fireworks shows, backyard grilling and other Independence Day traditions.
Because the proposed ozone rule is set so low, things as harmless as a few backyard chefs grilling burgers in the same area at the same time, or even festive fireworks being launched during an Independence Day celebration, could cause an area to violate federal ozone standard thresholds. Such a violation of the EPA’s unreasonably low ozone limit would result in fines and other penalties for local governments from federal regulators.
In an attempt to steer clear of punishment, local lawmakers will have to respond to the new EPA rules by enacting municipal grilling bans and canceling fireworks shows from sea to shining sea.
Outlandish environmental regulations are nothing new for Obama’s EPA, but the proposed ozone limit is likely the most costly and oppressive regulation yet. Besides ending Independence Day as we know it in many places, the lower ozone limit would stall construction projects and prevent job-creating manufacturing facilities from being built in hundreds of cities across the United States.

I’d expect WIDE spread civil disobedience on this one.
Even in liberal states, a petty bureaucrat enforcing this in a town could expect to at the very least get his car keyed.
Designed to make more Americans lawbreakers
The local governments should tell the EPA Nazis to crumble up their pages of “rules” and shove them up their jack booted a$$es.
Grow a pair, local governments, and refuse to comply with fedzilla!
“Dependence Day” with welfare queen and ghetto dioramas and theatricals and tofu burgers with buns made from cricket flour?
Haha. Good luck with that.
It’s all about destroying culture
I’d expect WIDE spread civil disobedience on this one.

The closest thing to civil disobedience was Tea Party. And that movement has pretty much faded away. For the most part the sheeple are passive and apathetic. I don’t mean to be negative; just keeping it real.
Valerie Jarrett will do it if she can get away with it

The Republican congress won’t do anything to stop her. Of that we can be certain.
and after eating and enjoying the show i will sit back and add the methane levels.
...from my cold, dead hands.
The Amerikans have shown their disgust about OUR country before.
Buck Ofama. Huck him fard.....
That won’t end barbecues or fireworks. Tomorrow, I will walk about a mile to the high school to watch a fireworks display. Afterwards, as I proceed through residential neighborhoods, illegal sky rockets, fire fountains and Roman candles will light my way home.
His agenda is simple and straight FOWARD.
Destroy a nation’s institutions and traditions and you destroy the nation.
Yeh good luck with that one Barkey.
And the former WH bathe in fag colors!
Screw him and his EPA
