Henry Waxman: “These new standards will cut emissions of toxic mercury by 90 percent. This is a major step forward.”

What the Constitution does not allow is our leaders breaking the Constitution, or the law, to serve their political needs.

I think of how Henry Waxman showed America the true face of the tobacco industry, exposing decades of deceit.

I hope this committee will initiate a detailed investigation examining this network of front groups and trade associations, determine who funds them and expose how they coordinate with industry.

Because of the time when nothing was being done to address global warming, we are now faced with the fact that tomorrow is today.
