Mr. President, I listened very intently to the first two speakers this morning. As somebody who has now been a physician for almost 30 years--I practiced full time for over 25 years--I heard the Senator from Iowa and what his desire would…

I see America, not in the setting sun of a black night of despair ahead of us, I see America in the crimson light of a rising sun fresh from the burning, creative hand of God.

It has turned out that could be the most damaging thing in terms of ag.

I would ask, how does the Administration's policy, as articulated in the new guidance, differ from the overreach that was overturned by the Supreme Court?

This goes way back. And I can remember sitting up here back when Senator Feingold actually introduced the Clean Water Restoration Act.

I think that the mistake here in the way it is being applied is that they consider the ultimate consumer to actually be coming from a Walmart or something like that.

We will be supporting him, Senator Session and Senator Heller, with a bill that stops the EPA from finalizing the guidance.

But even as President Obama stands in the oil field pretending to support this pipeline, he continues full force with his efforts to regulate fossil fuels out of existence.

I just want to get some kind of a commitment that we are going to let them enjoy the exemption that is in the law right now in terms of the fertilizers sales.

I would recommend it to every person who works at the Environmental Protection Agency.

EPA's war on hydraulic fracturing needs to stop.

It makes little sense for the EPA to continue to try and expand its jurisdiction under the Clean Water Act.

What is more important is there appears to be nobody watching over or implementing the much needed reforms.

Well, we told the public that the new unit MACT Standards would not prevent new units from being built.

In these tough economic times, it doesn't make sense to spend $240 million on something that will have no effect.

I would like to remind everyone, I do not have to remind everyone, everyone knows it was the President unilaterally that stopped the XL Pipeline.

If we could get all of the politicians out of the way, we would be able to be totally independent of the Middle East not in a matter of years but in a matter of months.

Instead of taking a hard look inside EPA and making difficult choices about programs that burden our economy, this budget cuts the funding to States that actually pay for some of the unfunded mandates imposed on communities.
