WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Kit Bond today introduced a pair of amendments to protect farmers, families and workers from backdoor attempts by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to impose new carbon dioxide regulations.

“

These amendments will shut out new job-killing energy taxes proposed by cap-and-trade advocates, who are trying to push their agenda through the backdoor with EPA regulations,” said Bond. “As communities across the country continue to suffer from this economic downturn, it is critical that we protect workers and families from backdoor job-killing and energy tax-raising regulations.”

With climate change legislation stalled in the Senate, there is a growing fear that the Obama Administration will use backdoor tactics or EPA requirements to impose burdensome carbon emission penalties. These penalties will affect many small businesses and organizations including local bakeries, livestock and dairy operations, schools, hospitals, and apartment and commercial buildings. Earlier this spring, the Obama Administration started the regulatory process that will cap carbon emissions.

Many, not just Partisan politicians, are expressing doubt in a troubling aspect of the Obama administration in general.

Using an 'alphabet agency' to 'backdoor' Cap & Trade legislation, effectively bypasses Congressional scrutiny and gives power to an Executive Agency, created by the Office of the President and with the power to impose and enforce regulations never approved by Congress.

Similar tactics in 'Reconciliation' procedures to bypass a 60 vote majority in Congress to force a 'Public Option' into law without the usual role of Congress being respected.

Many claim the H1N1 scare has been created by government that has already begun planning of mandatory innoculations to Health Care workers; can public school teachers and students be far behind?

Add in the corruption within the Community Organization, ACORN, funded by government and instrumental in registering Democrat only voters in the last election.

It appears to many, that the Left Wing agenda of the Obama administration and the Democrat controlled Congress are going to force that agenda on the American people no matter what and if evading Congressional procedures are required, they will do that too.

Not since the 1930's when FDR tried to 'pack' the Supreme Court and bypass Congressional oversight, has an administration flaunted the rules of Government with such audacity.

One need be alert to these issues.....
