Share on Facebook Friend, “I have never proposed anything that I thought would be so well-received as this, that has fallen totally flat on its face.” That’s what EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy had to say about public reaction to the Obama Administration’s new rule to redefine “waters of the United States” (WOTUS). The pressure is on. Let’s keep it up. Thanks to CFACT’s friends and supporters, over 30,000 people have already signedCFACT’s statement to EPA to “ditch” it’s land-grabbing WOTUS rule. We need many thousands more before the October 20th deadline arrives. How bad will this WOTUS rule be? The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals just ruled that if the feds say you have wetlands on your property, you can’t even appeal to the courts. You have to go through the tortuous and expensive Clean Water Act licensing procedure — wetlands or not. Phony rationales about water are among a Green gadfly’s favorite weapons. On Monday, Oregon killed a plan to export coal from its ports. The reason given? Trace amounts of coal dust might might impact Native American fishing! Goodbye 3,100 jobs and billions of dollars! We have details on all this at CFACT.org. EPA’s WOTUS rule is a disaster. Let’s educate, speak up, and ditch EPA’s harmful rule!
