Close the EPA

Stop tighter Ozone standards
 
America's air is getting cleaner. EPA data shows that air quality has substantially improved since the 1970s and existing EPA regulations will continue that trend. Why, then, is the EPA trying to heap even tighter regulations onto the backs of working families and small businesses?
Tell the EPA “Not So Fast!” We Can’t Afford Another Regulation!
Ignoring the fact that air quality continues to improve and that households and industries have invested billions of dollars reducing emissions, the EPA has announced it plans to impose upon the American people the most burdensome ozone regulations in history. The economic results of their out-of-touch move could be devastating—lost jobs, a shrunken U.S. economy, and possibly even higher energy costs for consumers.
Steamrolling ahead with this regulatory plan could be a grave and costly error.  The EPA knows full well that many parts of the country are still working to meet existing ozone standards—the strictest previously set. They also know that the new targets they’ve proposed are so tough that some pristine parks and wildlife areas wouldn’t be able to pass. Moving the regulatory goal posts now isn’t fair, and it sure seems out-of-touch.
Make sure the EPA knows where you stand on this issue. Tell them now is not the time to be changing ozone standards.
