Should we condition our funding on them putting the names up?

Is there ever going to be an answer?

Do you want the recommendations of the BP Commission to be implemented?

Congress has still failed to put in place the safety reforms recommended following the Deepwater Horizon disaster, the independent Blue Ribbon BP Spill Commission gave Congress a grade of D+ on its legislative response to the spill.

Do you think it is critical for Congress to act to put them in place?

We should be working to strengthen the scientific information EPA uses to protect public health and improve air and water quality.

Good legislative process is similar to the scientific method every elementary school student learns.

These issues over the use of science would benefit greatly from having experts in the use of science explain to us the pros and cons of this approach.

Peer review is the foundation of modern science. It is a self-correcting process that has helped to advance science, technology and public health in America and around the world.

Science should be at the foundation of health and environmental policymaking.

Our Nation's environmental laws have succeeded over the years because EPA is required to use the best available science.

This amendment would change the criteria for scientific and technical information by striking the language that effectively limits what information EPA can use.

This bill sets up a trial process to determine a chemical safety with the EPA serving as the judge and the jury.
