Aug 04, 2008 -- Your Fight the Right-Wing Wacko Links of the Day.

** Public Citizen **
EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson has denied initiatives aimed at reducing global emissions for too long. When important, practical opportunities arise to curb our carbon output Johnson bends to the will of the Bush Administration.

He recently denied California's request to set stricter regulations on greenhouse gas emissions from automobiles that would benefit the environment. Even though the EPA's staff supported the request, Johnson - after meeting with the White House - denied the request.

Recently released EPA internal memos and testimony of former EPA employees show that Johnson put politics before environmental protection. In fact, Johnson himself was in support of a full or partial grant of California's request; that is, until the White House reminded him of Bush's policy preferences.

This doesn't just affect California, but all states that want to fight global warming and use California's standard. Today members of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee are calling for his resignation. Join them in their call for a responsible EPA head!
