Darrell Issa’s Push To Abolish An Antiquated Law...LOL
Memo to: Fellow Members of Congress
From: Darrell Issa, Republican of California
Re: Support for legislation to abolish an antiquated law.
I urge you to join us in sponsoring the Hall-Latta-Flake-Issa-Upton-Noem-Goodlatte Act.
For too long, science has been trotted out to justify environmental protection, when it is actually being used to mask tax-and-spend policies that sink our economy. With that in mind, I ask you to support the next logical step in our Republican Caucus crusade to abolish job-killing environmental laws and excessive regulations.
Please join us in cosponsoring H.R. 32174, a bill to repeal the Law of Gravity.
Congress never passed this law. No president signed it. No court reviewed it. Not even Al Gore voted for it. As Sen. James Inhofe has said of putative global warming, so-called gravity is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people.
Congress never intended that whatever goes up must come down with the exception of taxes.

The Issa can't even get that right.

I can't tell anymore. I seriously never thought I would see legislatures trying to outlaw the birth control pill yet there they are trying to with a bill that would taken to it's logical conclusion do just that.
