No more contributions to the ALA. We have lost enough jobs because of envirofreaks and their commander obama.

Some people are horrified by any debt we pile on our children and grandchildren, wanting them to breathe easy in the knowledge that grandpa in congress didn’t touch defense spending, but fought against the will of the people (for their own good) to slash programs which make education, health and safety, dignity, and a living wage possible. They should remember that a future without a strong EPA will obviate having to breathe at all.

The fact that our government is rolling back clean air protection is going to give thousands more children respiratory problems - and THAT is offensive. Not the people pointing it out.

I find the ad offensive. Close your eyes and just listen to it. Anyone who has had a child or grandchild with resperatory issues/death is sadly reminded of the months/years of listening to those sound effects. It's a shame to use a sick baby in this way.

Brilliant video. Shame on the pollution-huggers in Congress for trying to roll back clean air laws. Don't they have kids?

It should have to be a trade off--jobs or clean air. We can have both! The technology is there. We need the will to do it and show Washington that's what we want.

@ohiohomey1 I have TWO 1966 Chevy Nova 4 door sedans that were manufactured in Ohio...and both of them rolled out of what used to be the General Motors plant, which used to provide jobs for your neighbors right there in Ohio.

With your employment numbers and economy in the sewer, you should worry more about people dying as a result of poverty and a lower standard of living. Drive out industry & jobs and maintain a standard of living of Ethiopia, then you wont have to worry about dirty air.
