EPA Tyranny

The tyrannical Environmental Protection Agency is going to force Cap and Tax on you whether you like it or not. And if you don't like it, you won't be able to tell them.

From the Federal Register yesterday (this is a ton of stuff):

[Federal Register: September 7, 2010 (Volume 75, Number 172)] [Proposed Rules]                [Page 54292] From the Federal Register Online via GPO Access [wais.access.gpo.gov] [DOCID:fr07se10-6]                           ======================================================================== Proposed Rules                                                 Federal Register ________________________________________________________________________  This section of the FEDERAL REGISTER contains notices to the public of  the proposed issuance of rules and regulations.

(Deeka's note:  EPA WILL regulate greenhouse gases)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).  ACTION: Notice of public hearing; correction.  -----------------------------------------------------------------------  SUMMARY: In this document, EPA is making a correction to the Action to  Ensure Authority To Issue Permits Under the Prevention of Significant  Deterioration Program to Sources of Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Federal  Implementation Plan; Public Hearing to be held on September 14, 2010  (published in the Federal Register on August 30, 2010, 75 FR 52916). We  inadvertently within the summary section of the document stated that  the hearing will be held in Arlington, VA. This document corrects the  location to Washington, DC.  ADDRESSES: Public Hearing: The September 14, 2010 hearing will be held  at the EPA Ariel Rios East building, Room 1153, 1301 Constitution  Avenue, Washington, DC 20460. The public hearing will convene at 9 a.m.  (eastern standard time) and continue until the later of 6 p.m. or 1  hour after the last registered speaker has spoken. The EPA will make  every effort to accommodate all speakers that arrive and register. A  lunch break is scheduled from 12:30 p.m. until 2 p.m. Because this  hearing is being held at U.S. Government facilities, individuals  planning to attend the hearing should be prepared to show valid picture  identification to the security staff in order to gain access to the  meeting room. In addition, you will need to obtain a property pass for  any personal belongings you bring with you. Upon leaving the building,  you will be required to return this property pass to the security desk.

  No large signs will be allowed in the building, cameras may only be  used outside of the building, and demonstrations will not be allowed on  Federal property for security reasons. 

(Deeka's note: You will NOT be heard.  Period. The great OZ has spoken)

Now, we can argue whether or not EPA has this authority (they don't) and whether or not GHG is a danger to human health (it's not). But for EPA to say there shall be no protests? I may have to go protest just because they said I can't.
