WASHINGTON (AP) -- The new Congress just got to work, but House Republicans are already moving to try to block the Obama administration from taking action on global warming.
GOP lawmakers have introduced several bills that would hamstring the Environmental Protection Agency from moving forward with regulations to reduce heat-trapping pollution from factories and other sources. The bills are part of a plan by House Republicans to reverse what they consider job-killing policies of the administration.
The bills introduced by Rep. Ted Poe of Texas, Rep. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee and Rep. Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia would stymie the EPA in different ways.

EEOC, Interior and HHS, too.
Fired, no pensions, go figure it out.
“Deny any funding for this scam. That’s all it takes.”

The Tea Party Rocks!
Pray for the Tea Party Congress
This idiot IS a tool.

And while they are at it, they can also hamstring the bullsh** “home lead certification” of contractors that the EPA just required. Nothing but another government overreach by a bunch of EPA zealots that does nothing but increase costs for everyone.
You got my vote. Can I put their heads on pikes?
Excellent!
Hang Michael Mann. An example needs to be made.
Great idea....on the steps everyday!!!
Home lead abatement is just another tool for the big companies to bar independent home repair contractors ;lead paint is no problem if you don’t let your children chew on the walls.

A bill that would have placed a limit on heat-trapping gases died in the Senate last year, after it passed the then Democratic-led House. Boxer said there are no plans to pursue another one because there are not enough votes.”
Kinda sucks to have the drive, but not the votes (anymore)...
and so it begins...
DEFUND OBAMMUNISM!
It’s like Christmas morning.

Poe's measure would prohibit the EPA from using any money to implement or enforce regulations to impose a limit on global warming gases. Blackburn's bill would change the Clean Air Act so the EPA could no longer use the law to control greenhouse gases.

Guess I'll see if the Bills are out on the web....
The house can defund much of the DUh-bama agenda. WE THE PEOPLE vote more of the JACKASSES out in '12, then cut out the rest of DUh-bama burro-cracy!
