Keepin them honest or exposing the tall tales, misinformation and just plain ole lies like last night on his first debate or whatever that was. It is offensive to most if not all on Social Security by calling it a Ponzi Scheme, edging toward telling Americans that they do not believe in Evolution and when an audience applauds the support of execution and in what appears to have been a possible innocent man should provide info that proves how unqualified a Presidential Candidate is but that’s just my opinion
While I am among those who are advocating for Clean Air and the Clean Air Act as well as better EPA rules and regulations I am not among those who have decided to disregard information from the Obama Administration like those who seem to be ignoring the info and pushing more of the same meme about broken promises. I cannot subscribe to the meme of yet another cave or broken promise especially after reading the letter sent to EPA administrator, Lisa Jackson from OIRA administrator, Cass Sunstein. President Obama may have delayed did not block or roll back or compromised his promise to families with illness, kids with asthma and or people with lung, upper respiratory illnesses. Again, I do Support President Obama and coming from a family of asthmatics, i felt i had to look into what is being said and while it is important to maintain regulations that will positively affect our environment, I am not sure that the points being made by you and MoveOn.org considered the 5yr review cycle already in place. The letter that i am basing my comment and feelings states that EPA ruling is usually…. i say usually because apparently the left wants him to change the ruling before the 5 year cycle that it normally is on which is 2013 as stated in the letter below. I am not an expert but i did read the letter and what i read does not even come close to what you and a few other progressive organizations are claiming in my opinion. I would like someone to support your claim or admit that your call to action is because you feel progressives want action now not in 2013, which again is when the policy is set to be on review… again, as scheduled. I do not know about anyone else that supports move on or organizations that are claiming President Obama caved to Republicans when it looks like an attempt to keep the 5yr cycle intact though progressives seem to want what they want when they want. I am confused as to why try to change the policy cycle when in all actuality the policy will need a second vote and my question is why do that? However, with that said and knowing you disagree, there probably will be new information and even more important, new members of Congress who believe in improving the lives of their fellow Americans. Again, I do not believe at this moment that President Obama compromised his mandate but as we have all watched this is one of many things that he will need a better Congress in place to pass legislation on climate change, EPA rules/regulations. I feel our jobs are to vote in better a group of people (Congress) that should want to work for the Middle Class not eliminate it.
If you click on the link below you will find the letter from Cass SunStein. The letter is very honest and does not appear to be as sinister as your email projects out to be. I have to say the tone was offensive and not only prompted my response but I would like more information from valid sources not News Papers or online News sources like blogs that he in fact caved to Republicans and or the corporate world. I might agree that the three reasons used as an explanation sound political yet the 5yr review cycle does comes up in 2013 and I, like everyone else expect President Obama with a Congress that backs him to pass great legislation that will may all our lives improve. I have yet to see a statement from EPA Administrator, Lisa Jackson making such negative comments, so, until or unless the EPA Administer puts out a similar statement I have to say no to the call to action after reading the letter explaining why the delay. I have to ask, isn’t it obvious that any legislation regarding climate change is DOA given the Party of No continues to move further and further extreme right, which, if we Democrats get out the vote will change the dynamic with a positive move into the 21st Century and Number One in the Nation again.
Thank you for your time

I renewed my call to Congress to stop subsidizing the oil and gas industries. Understand, I’m not opposed to producing oil. I believe that if we’re serious about meeting our energy challenge, we need to operate on all cylinders, and that means pursuing a broad range of energy policies, including safe and responsible oil production here at home. In fact, last year, America’s oil production reached its highest level since 2003.

Every single month is a separate fundraising battle with the GOP. Winning these battles means we pick up momentum, and more races get funded. Losing these battles means momentum is lost, and we won’t be able to fund enough races. Pretty simple.
But does that matter now, in late August? You bet it does. Losing a monthly fight will allow Republicans to attack early, taking potentially competitive seats off the map right now. Imagine if Barbara Boxer’s first Senate run had ended before it started because a flood of unanswered attack ads drove her out of the race.
If we win every monthly battle, we can protect future progressive champions and current champions like Sherrod Brown, and make sure President Obama sees four more years. If everyone joins in and we can raise $55,000 in the next three days, it should be enough to win August.
