Boxer says no to further environmental rollbacks

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Environmental rollbacks from the Bush administration "in the dead of the night" are history, the Senate's incoming environment chairwoman said Tuesday.

"That's over. We are going to bring these things into the light," Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., said in a wide-ranging interview laying out her agenda with The Associated Press. She cited concerns about a host of new Bush administration rules on air, land and water quality.

"Some of the things are so outrageous that when they hit the light of day, you'll see people back off," she said. "And that's something I do, and I will do. The oversight function of this committee is going to be very important to me."

2. She is so one of the reasons why I'm tolerating Lieberman

Inhofe was hellbent on destroying the country. Boxer is gonna do something to make a difference in this country!

on a radioactive landfill. Where all his water comes from a well.

9. Yet another reason I ask, "Why does everyone keep droning on about Hilary,when Boxer should be

'in the ring' as Prez/or VP candidate. She has a MUCH longer Senate record than Hilary...is every bit as STRONG, won re-election to Senate by HUGE margins, is very well liked by constituents, and tends to be more "Democractic" in the TRUE sense...not just in the "D" next to her Senate title.

IF we're talking FEMALE candidates, WHY is Boxer never mentioned seriously?

ENUF with the Hilary stuff...pls! "Boxer for Prez or VP!"

10. Cheers to Boxer

I'm so proud to have her as my Senator! :thumbsup:
