Jim Risch actually said...

"Rather than allowing members of Congress to dictate what light bulbs must be used in every American's home, my legislation allows the market to work."

"It gives consumers the option to decide what works best for them and avoids that one-size-fits-all approach that Washington should reject."

"People in Idaho are just going nuts and they are astonished that the federal government is telling them what kind of light bulbs they have to put in their home. Where's this country gone?"

"I guess a free people should be able to make that decision without the government saying you will put this kind of a bulb in your home."
