Let’s git er done. Contact your congresscritter and get them to get on board with the other 103 co sponsors and support H.R.750 - Defending America’s Affordable Energy and Jobs Act.
It effectively strips the EPA of the power to regulate.

We need to push this as soon as the GOP retakes the Senate. There is no way this passes the Senate and all politicians are in election year mode.
Next year we need to beat on the GOP House and Senate to pass this, then beat on Romney to sign it.
Stupid.
The EPA must be disbanded.
I was actually quite interested in this a few years ago, to the point of drafting model legislation to repeal the law creating the EPA.
Except, there is no such law.
The EPA was created by executive order (Nixon), and since it has no legislative existence, a repeal bill would be meaningless.
I got busy with other stuff, and never figured out how exactly we can get rid of it.
But defunding it or attempting to restrict its power won't work. The EPA exists to enforce the Clean Air Act, the Air Quality Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, the and the Clean Water Act, and as long as those vague and (obviously) unconstitutional laws continue to exist, we will continue to have this problem.
