Resist EPA encroachment

From The Committee For A Constructive Tomorrow:

The Obama administration is currently proposing a new rule to regulate every ditch and puddle in the nation as a "water source" under the Clean Water Act.

Even worse, they want to bypass Congress and sidestep the Supreme Court along the way.

If they get away with this scheme, we can expect new layers of red tape and control over people responsibly using their own land. It must be stopped!

Please sign CFACT's petition and together let's tell EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers to "ditch" this ill-conceived land grab.

The public comment deadline is less than 90 days away - and we need your help to swamp the administration with these petitions!

For Green-Left ideologues dreaming of using the Clean Water Act to redefine the "waters of the United States" and bring vast amounts of land under control of the Environmental Protection Agency - this proposed water rule is a dream come true.

But the EPA is already out of control. It slapped a fine of $75,000 (PER DAY!) on Wyoming homeowners Katie and Andy Johnson for building a pond on their own property! How's a hard-working welder like Andy Johnson supposed to stand up against that?

Those who understand what this new proposed rule would really do want no part of it. That's why the bureaucrats want to keep their science secret and speak a language all their own.

That's also why farm bureaus across the nation kicked off their "ditch the rule" campaign, which CFACT is proud to advance.

We need as many signatures as we can get. Please sign CFACT's petition today and circulate it to as many people as possible.

CFACT is the Committee For A Constructive Tomorrow, one of the nation's premier organizations dedicated to bringing a positive, market-oriented, and scientifically sound perspective to environmental issues.

Since our founding in 1985, we have fought tirelessly to protect American families, jobs, and businesses from the economy-crippling regulations being pushed by Green environmental extremists - regulations just like this insane land grab proposed by the federal government.

Won't you stand with us today by taking a moment to sign CFACT's petition right away?

Farmers and ranchers are especially threatened. This rule can literally cost them their farms - not to mention impact everyone's food prices.

But they're not alone.

Over 26.1 million U.S. homes rely on septic systems to process household waste. That's over 20 percent of all the homes in the nation the EPA will be able to target for control if they have standing water on their property or live anywhere near property that does.

This rule will also hammer communities and businesses across the country. As the President of the American Farm Bureau recently noted, this "proposed rule would impact everything from local governments trying to start or expand infrastructure projects to community gardens ... the rule will dictate land use across the United States." Even fireworks could be halted altogether in some places!

Millions of homeowners are in for a bureaucratic nightmare!

State and local governments have our non-navigable waters well in hand. They know better than bureaucrats in Washington what oversight homeowners, farmers, businesses and developers need to responsibly use their own land.

EPA has no valid scientific basis for pushing this rule. EPA's cost-benefit analysis is deeply flawed, employing decades-old cost estimates that were not adjusted for inflation, nor current economic and market conditions.

Let's cut straight to it. This rule is not about the environment. It's an attack on property rights and giving radical Green gadflies power to interfere with how other people responsibly use their land.

Will you stand by and let them succeed?

Stand up for your property rights, your neighbor's... everyone's.

Our government is bloated enough. Time to put it on a diet.

Sign CFACT's petition opposing this foolish land-grabbing water rule today and help us get thousands of signatures more.
Together let's tell the Obama administration to "ditch this rule."

Open up the Keystone pipeline

From Fueling Jobs:

Obama said he wants to “slash the bureaucracy and streamline the permitting process for key projects.”

This promise is straight out of his State of the Union (SOTU) address from last month.

He wants more “shovel-ready” construction jobs to put Americans back to work.

Well my friend, projects don’t get more “shovel-ready” or more beneficial to America than the Keystone Pipeline Extension.

And right now Obama has the power to authorize all the necessary permits with a stroke of a pen.

So why didn’t he mention Keystone XL by name in his SOTU address?

I’ll tell you in just a minute, but first let me back up and tell you why the Keystone Project is so important to America.

The Keystone Pipeline Extension is a massive project to bring newly accessed oil reserves down from Canada to refineries in Texas.

The construction of the Pipeline Extension alone will generate thousands of jobs in the heartland of America.

And it will create thousands more permanent positions that will stay with us.

Secondly, it will give the U.S. a new, strong source of North American energy -- further protecting us from overseas disruptions.

And most important for you and me: It will directly lower the price we pay at the pump.

It is the single greatest option America has to lower the gas and energy prices that have risen sky-high under the Obama Administration.

And that’s why Obama didn’t mention Keystone in his SOTU address.

He doesn’t want to sign the permits to authorize it.

Two years ago -- even with gas prices at a whopping $4.00 per gallon -- President Obama OUTRAGED the overwhelming majority of the American people by stopping the Keystone Pipeline the first time.

You see, cheaper gasoline is bad news for “Gang Green” and their radical energy agenda.

Obama has already invested billions of our tax dollars into so-called green energy companies under his administration.

Companies like the infamous Solyndra.

But even with Obama’s massive subsidiaries, these experimental (and EXPENSIVE) companies can’t really compete with natural energy sources like oil and gas.

That’s why Obama is looking for any excuse he can find to kill the Keystone and shore up his Gang Green buddies.

And he is running out of options.

The State Department just released their Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) report showing once again that there is no conclusive threat to the environment from this project.

So it’s time for you and me to apply pressure directly to the White House before the Official Comment Period ends next week.

Fuelingjobs.com has prepared a petition supporting the Keystone Pipeline Extension special for President Obama, which you can sign by clicking right here.

Obama’s opposition to Keystone is nothing more than crony capitalism at its absolute worst.

That’s why your signed petition is so critical before the Official Comment Period ends next week.

The good news is, national support is on our side.

Polls show Americans are FED UP with the radical environmentalists’ chaining of our fragile economy under regulatory lock and key.

So will President Obama KILL Keystone once again and risk our wrath?

It’s up to you and me to find out.

But our window to collect and deliver petitions is only 30 days long... and that window is almost closed.

That’s why we don’t have any time to lose.

Please don’t set this email aside, or say to yourself “I’ll get to it later.”

By the time you do get back to it, it will be too late.

That’s why I need you to take action right now.

And then, if you can, please consider making a generous donation to help fund FuelingJobs.com.

Obama has a long, disastrous track record of siding against real American energy in order to appease Gang Green.

Just a few months ago Obama’s EPA actually outlawed most of the wood-burning stoves in the U.S.!

So you and I can be sure that he wants to kill the Keystone Pipeline.

And his best excuse for doing so will be to say “I heard from lots of Americans, and they don’t want it.”

You better bet the radicals are gathering all the letters they can... so we need to gather even more to tip the scales in our favor.

Your signed petition will show Obama definitively that you will not tolerate any denial of the Keystone permits.

With Obamacare proving to be one big disaster, the president can’t afford any more unpopular decisions.

If he knows you want this pipeline, he’ll be forced to approve it.

So please, click here right now to sign your Keystone Pipeline Petition!

Then please consider chipping in a generous donation for as much as you can afford.

$500, $250, $100 or even $50 or $25. Any amount will be greatly appreciated.

We don’t have much time to reach America... but every dollar allows us to do that much more.

Obama’s solution to every problem is more government.

Kinks in the American health care system? Burden the nation with the expensive and useless Obamacare.

Green energy can’t hack it in the open market? Prop them up with tax-dollar subsidies.

Americans out of work? Create pointless “busy-work” construction jobs -- paid for, once again, with your tax-dollars.

You and I both know the best way to get economic sectors back on track is with hard work, ingenuity and private investments.

And that’s just what the Keystone Pipeline represents.

A chance to put Americans back to work and lower fuel and energy costs across the country.

All without the U.S. government spending a dime of your hard earned money.

Right now, the White House is gathering comments from U.S. citizens, which Obama will take into account before deciding whether or not to approve the Keystone Pipeline.

But radical environmentalist activists from all over the country have set a goal of generating ONE MILLION comments to KILL the Keystone Pipeline!

So it’s up to you and me to beat the radical environmentalists at their own game.

Just click here to send a clear message straight to President Obama.

Every voice matters in this fight.

And once you have signed, please consider chipping in with a donation -- $50, $25, or even $5 or $10. Any amount will be a tremendous help in our efforts.

Sincerely,

Geoff Goble
Chairman, FuelingJobs.com
P.S. We only have days left to send your comments directly to the White House.

If Obama doesn’t hear from enough pro-energy Americans, he’s likely to kill the Keystone Pipeline once and for all.

That’s why I’m counting on you to send a loud-and-clear message to Barack Obama that there will be a political price to pay for blocking construction of the Keystone Pipeline.

Click here to sign your petition DEMANDING President Obama approve the critical Keystone Pipeline Project.

And if you could make a generous contribution of $500, $250, $100, $50, $35 -- or whatever you can afford -- I'd really appreciate it.

Somehow I don't trust contacting Obama alone since he can't be trusted. I suggest contacting your elected representatives in both the House and the Senate as well and let them know you support opening the Keystone pipeline. A little Congressional pressure should help Obama give the green light for the opening of the Keystone pipeline. If you want to pay European type gasoline prices then do nothing. However if you want to drop the price of gasoline to reasonable levels then sign the petition and contact Congress. Your wallet will thank you.

Tell your Senators to defend the filibuster by opposing Harry Reid

From Campaign For Liberty:

When the Senate reconvenes on January 22, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is expected to launch an all-out war on the Senate filibuster.

And he's willing to flat-out break Senate rules and longstanding traditions to achieve his goal.

If the statists in Washington, D.C. get their way, they'll be able to ram their entire Big Government agenda through the Senate.

That's why it's vital you sign your C4L Fax Authorization Form to your U.S. Senators demanding they vote against Harry Reid's attempt to destroy the Senate filibuster.

Of course, as with virtually all parliamentary bodies, the Senate's rules can be changed or amended.

But changing the rules requires 67 votes - or a two-thirds majority of the Senate.

Unfortunately, Harry Reid doesn't care about the rules, and he's scheming to abolish the Senate filibuster with just 51 votes - or a simple majority.

Should he succeed, the statists in Washington will have the unchecked ability to push through their entire Big Government agenda.

And the really bad news is, according to inside sources, Senator Reid believes he has 51 Senators willing to break the rules with him to destroy the filibuster.

That's why it's critical you sign your C4L Fax Authorization Form IMMEDIATELY.

You see, the Senate filibuster has been an indispensable tool in stopping some of the worst of the statists' Big Government power grabs over the years.

When Al Gore's radical environmentalist pals in Congress attempted to ram through "Cap and Tax," it was the Senate filibuster that stopped them - preventing this disastrous scheme from destroying our economy.

When Big Labor's allies tried to ram through the union bosses' Card Check Forced Unionism Bill, it was the Senate filibuster that stopped them - saving secret-ballot elections for union organizing.

When the anti-gun crowd attempted to renew the so-called "Assault Weapons Ban" back in 2005, it was the Senate filibuster that prevented its renewal.

And when the statists wanted to make sure they could get easy access to the names and addresses of those who opposed their schemes, the Senate filibuster allowed us to beat the so-called "Disclose" Act.

Without the ability to filibuster, the statists will be able to ram through gun control, tax hikes, massive spending increases, and virtually anything else they can dream up.

That's why it's vital you sign your C4L Fax Authorization Form IMMEDIATELY!

Together, you and I can stop Harry Reid from destroying the Senate filibuster.

Sounds good. I'm not a big fan of runaway government so if this makes it more accountable then I'm in. I don't like the idea of my rights being stampeded by statists. If you feel the same way then sign the authorization form.
