Yeah.....Republicans want dirty water and a dictatorship...................

Like the 104th Congress when Republicans controlled the House of Representatives, the House today is swinging a sledgehammer at a cornerstone of contemporary American democracy and undermining the most extraordinary body of environmental law in the world.
Chief among the attacks is HR 2018, known as the "Clean Water Cooperative Federalism Act of 2011." The bill, currently working its way through the House, hogties the federal government's role in administering the federal Clean Water Act and gives states a veto power over a host of critical water quality decisions that the Clean Water Act currently authorizes the Environmental Protection Agency to make. This approach will foster a 1950s-style race to bottom as shortsighted and self-interested state politicians dismantle their clean water laws in order to recruit filthy polluters.
Corporate polluters -- through massive campaign donations and relentless fear-mongering -- can easily dominate the state political landscapes. Their indentured servants in Congress -- many flying the Tea Party banner -- are working to disrupt the existing balance between state control and federal oversight in our environmental laws by returning us to the days of limited federal supervision -- a time when local government was on the side of polluters in a partnership that was stealing people's livelihoods, their recreation, their health, safety, property values and their childhoods.
The original drafters of the Clean Water Act were keenly aware of the problems inherent in leaving all responsibility to the states. Prior to 1972, that scheme had ignited rivers and firestorms and left Lake Erie declared dead. We saw the results first hand here on the Hudson River in the 1960s -- where hundreds of fishermen lost their jobs because their beloved waterways had become too polluted to allow anyone to safely eat the fish. The Clean Water Act, enacted shortly thereafter, created a beautifully simple yet powerfully effective tool to help address these problems: a federal safety net for water quality that guarantees a minimum level of protection to all Americans, no matter where you live. And for nearly 40 years this approach has been working.

Put blame where it belongs
ATF decided it could not regulate bump stocks during the Obama administration.
It that time," the NRA wrote in a statement. "The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semiautomatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations."
The ATF and Obama admin. ignored the NRA recommendations.

It will never make it through the Senate. The current CWA currently permits States to create, manage and implement their own water management program as long as it is at least as stringent as the CWA or more so. The same also applies to the other two major polluton programs, CAA and RCRA. So any "States Rights" argument would be a facade.

Because the Dems don't propose legislation that is an assault on clean water and democracy. Because the Dems don't propose elimination of the EPA.
It is truly ironic you call Dems Marxists, because the 'rape the planet' environmental philosophy of the Soviet Union is exactly the same as Republicans and the opposite of Democrats.

LMAOooo... yeah, you got us! We want to have dirty nasty water, so we can sell you expensive bottled water! It's all about the dollar!Republican's Assault on Clean Water and Democracy
And "Democracy" is very dangerous, it could have given us a President Al Gore! We must kill it while we have the chance!
Democracy DID give us President Al Gore, but the Reich wing robes gave the election to Fuhrer Bush, and over 100,000 human beings no longer exist because of that miscarriage of democracy. And Bush sabotaged the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act so polluters will NEVER have to clean up their pollution and any polluter can dump waste into any stream in America by merely filing for a permit with the Corp of Engineers, through the mail.

We're supposed to believe not just a Kennedy's perspective but RFK Jr's?
Stop being such a 'tard.
Believe what you want, but he is not the only one calling out Republicans on their rape the planet for short term gains agenda. They are a danger to every man woman and child in this nation. Bush's 8 years of sabotaging environmental protections will lead to the premature death of over 100,000 fellow Americans...maybe even YOU...

The EPA has grown too big and no longer answers to the People. It needs to be pruned heavily.
