Maybe the government should shut down

Clear that many don't have our health and welfare in mind when they vote!

House Votes Yes For Polluters, No To A Clean Environment For The American People
The Senate voted against this yesterday: As expected, the House of Representatives voted yesterday (255-172) to prevent the EPA from regulating greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act--something which was decided to be within its mandate and authority by the Supreme Court back in 2007 and approved by the Obama administration in 2009.


The vote went down roughly along party lines, with 19 Democrats joining Republicans in voting to handcuff the EPA and no Republicans voting against the bill. Six people did not vote. Given that the Senate and the President oppose the bill, it's unlikely the bill will become law.
Okay, so it won't pass. But they will try and try again - bacause it is to the benefit of their wallets.
