Presidential Control of Climate Change

E-mail to Congress:

EIN News says, "Agencies Told to Reduce Emissions. The U.S. federal government will require each agency to measure its greenhouse-gas emissions for the first time and set targets to reduce them by 2020, under an executive order signed by President Obama Monday. (washingtonpost.com)".

Here is an example of your loss of power. Congress set up laws establishing various agencies and left the President in a position to develop most of the programs. As you see from the above news quote, he has now bypassed Congress with respect to climate control by initiating a directive. The most significant agency is probably the EPA, which has the power to regulate emissions at electric power companies. Note that this bypasses any opinions that Congress may have on carbon dioxide Cap and Trade.

You can either fight this and other similar Administrative directives or ignore it and let the country slide further into the power of a dictator.
