LOL That was brilliant! Thanks for the subtitles, I couldn't understand a word she was saying. Something about banning free speech and taxing the air we breathe. Oh no wait...that comes later.

looks like a plan to get the ecoterrorists to send in their ideas under the guise that it came from the people,and the perfect example of democracy.Btw who decides which idea wins?

i know this woman! I am working in the Office of Enviormental Information as a summer intern. I was put in charge of helping to "revitalize" our youtube channel, regulationsgov. I have no idea what qualified me for this position, other then the fact I'm 20 years old an avid youtube user. I don't have enough text to express to you the true nature of the regs.gov programme, but I can tell you this video does address some of the key issues.

I'd like for you to give me your feedback on what you

"This is where we need your help.

You see, in order for our system to persist, it has to be validated.

You need to believe that you're making a worthwhile contribution to the political process.

That way, you're kept content and complacent, so we can do our jobs.

Which is for your own good."

The EPA - Let's see ... can they be voted out? Oh. No they can't - they are not accountable to any voter. They are not in any way related to "Of the people, by the people, for the people" ... again, they do not answer to the citizens of the USA. They cannot [easily] be stopped. But they must.
