CEI's 'Send Your Underwear to the Undersecretary' Campaign Goes *Virtual* Faster Relief for People Tired of 'Regulatory Wedgie' by CEI Staff June 18, 2007
Washington, D.C., June 18, 2007— CEI’s campaign against the U.S. Department of Energy’s disastrous washing machine efficiency rules has gone virtual. Rather than physically mailing underwear to the Undersecretary of Energy, the public can now email “virtual underwear” from CEI’s website with a few mouse clicks. This makes it far easier for those fed up with poor-performing washers to register their protests with the agency.
This is the latest salvo in CEI’s campaign against the DoE rules. According to the June issue of Consumer Reports, the new rules have resulted in “washers that don’t wash”, forcing consumers to spend “$1,000 dollars or more” for reliable top-loaders.
A CEI video on YouTube explains this sordid regulatory affair. And, in contrast to the restricted options that washing machine purchasers have under DoE’s rules, the CEI website lets people choose from 4 different underwear styles for their protest email.
Despite these findings, Congress is now considering proposals to raise efficiency standards even further--not only for washing machines, but for a huge array of devices ranging from light bulbs to automobiles. “If government can ruin something as simple as our washing machines, imagine what it will end up doing to something as complex as our cars,” said Sam Kazman, CEI General Counsel.

I’m sorry, but if they receive a few hundred thousand pieces of actual underwear (preferably soiled), I believe that would make a little bit more of an impression.
I suspect that’s went virtual
Your link doesn’t work.

Thanks, I haven’t out how to add link to body of text.
Or we could end immigration and end population growth.
That way we won’t have to make room for more people by rationing things like water.
Had we ended immigration in 1965, we’d have half the number of people we have today.
And twice as much of everything, including water.
Link that does work:

CAFE standards have been in the news here a lot lately (MI) and ironically the more vocal opponents are the sadistic dems like Senator Carl Levin.
Not because it the right thing to do, but to monger up to the unions and dems that are keeping MI in a single-state recession.
Why would anyone send underwear to Nicholas Burns?
“if they receive a few hundred thousand pieces of actual underwear (preferably soiled), I believe that would make a little bit more of an impression.”
Like the mexican general told the troops, today it’s time to change your underware.
Everyone take off your shorts and put the brown stripe out!

I suspect that as in Europe, the far left likes to get involved with so-called Green issues. It’s a sneaky way control economies and the ex-communists all seem to be in the Environmental departments (That’s why they call them watermelons; green outside,red inside).
No one can even figure out that place.
And The White House is in the middle of it all.
I can’t either. Most sites have some sort of translator that configures the HTML protocol for you.
wow.. i am stealing that picture lol
My thoughts exactly.
“reliable top-loaders” Unless you buy a Maytag.
Mine,$1,000 + $250. to fix all the problems after the $250. the warranty covered.
