The Environmental Protection Agency was created in 1970 to address legitimate concerns regarding pollution and contaminants that were potentially dangerous and needed to be managed.
Since then, however, it has become a rogue federal agency of some 18,000 employees issuing unconstitutional mandates and living off of huge, unreasonable fines against businesses and individuals that it targets, and that do not have the means to fight the out-of-control behemoth. The EPA levied a fine against the Wal-Mart Corporation of $110 million for the improper disposal of pesticide products returned to their stores, and the list goes on.
Another story in the news deals with a 77-year old Montana resident who simply wanted to provide watering holes on his property for his horses and to protect his property from fire. The EPA instead has decided to make an example of the senior citizen and to completely destroy his life.

And how about in some areas or states it’s illegal to catch rainwater off of your roof into a barrel because they say it depletes the aquifer. Where do they think the water is going to go out there is taken out of the barrel if they use it for irrigation back into the ground and besides 50 gallons into a barrel is a mere pittance.
EPA Democratic Dictatorship
Government over reach time to look at all laws on the books that liberals and rino past presidents have passed George Bush was not our friend one world order man
Ella Jernigan, for real.. Maybe you should educate yourself. Water is treated before it is made drinking water. There is still the things in place to prevent any deadly pollutants into the air, without over regulating. Most of the EPA things was a Government Money Grab to line the pockets of the politicians. You have lets those idiots brainwash you.
