"The Ohio Valley Environmental Coalition (OVEC), West Virginia Rivers Coalition (WVRC), and twenty-three other environmental organizations and citizens filed a lawsuit on January 23, 2002 against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)"
www.tlpj.org...
"On May 8 (2002), a federal district court in West Virginia ruled against the Bush Administration's Clean Water Act violation in a civil suit challenge. The court stated that the Clean Water Act does not allow filling U.S. waterways solely for waste disposal and only the U.S. Congress can rewrite the Act."

""Big polluters, legislators and the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection colluded on this plan. They led the state in the wrong direction. They didn’t even bother to come up with a policy that complies with federal law. Their plan offered no balance between the public good and private gain. They forced us to sue – it was our only recourse," Muller said."

Rolling Back Enforcement Through Budget Cuts
"The Bush administration’s budget proposal for the 2003 fiscal year reflects a deliberate strategy of cutting the EPA’s budget for inspections and workforce reducing environmental enforcement actions against polluters."

"According to a report by the EPA's Inspector General, the system used by the EPA to track water pollution is "...obsolete, full of faulty data and does not take into account thousands of significant pollution sources." (quote from New York Times story on the report.) Read the Inspector General's report. (May 2003)"

"These Bush administration rollbacks are in direct disregard of directions from Congress to maintain or improve enforcement at the Agency. These rollbacks put public health and the environment at risk. The administration’s attempts to substitute existing enforceable programs with unenforceable voluntary programs and to shift responsibility to the states eliminates the federal backstop of environmental protection that has ensured that all states meet minimum requirements for the environment and public health."

March 30, 2004: Polluters Continue to Violate Clean Water Act: 60 Percent Exceeded Pollution Permits in Recent 18-Month Period
www.ems.org...
"...communities, large and small, may have a false sense of security about the quality of their water (but) ...utilities can avoid spending money to correct the problem. …In some cases, state regulators have helped the utilities avoid costly fixes. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which is supposed to ensure that states are monitoring utilities, has also let communities ignore requirements... Jim Elder, who headed the EPA's drinking water program from 1991 to 1995, said he fears that utilities are engaging in "widespread fraud and manipulation."
"The problems we know about are just the tip of the iceberg," said Erik D. Olson of the nonprofit Natural Resources Defense Council, "because utilities are gaming the system, states have often been willing to ignore long-standing violations and the EPA sits on the sidelines and refuses to crack down."

The NWO does march forward. Bush isn't the anti-christ. Nor is he anti-environment. The insanity of the enviro "movement" must be counterbalanced with logic and scientific FACT.

FACT: yes microbes and bacterium are increasing in the water supply.
FACT: chlorination and fluoridation eliminate these "bugs"
FACT: chlorination and fluoridation have been REDUCED significantly nationwide due to moronic lawsuit's filed by the same groups that are crying "oh my water is contaminated".
... must be counterbalanced with logic and scientific FACT.

And sorry but Chlorine does kill prions, UV doesn't.
www.infectioncontroltoday.com...
It has been established that most disinfectants are inadequate for eliminating prion infectivity. There are four chemicals that have been demonstrated to reduce prion titers by >4-logs: chlorine, a phenolic, guanidine thiocyanate, and sodium hydroxide (Table 3). 47-55 Of these four chemical compounds the disinfectant that is available and provides the most consistent prion inactivation results is chlorine but even chlorine has had unexplainable reduced activity.
www.healthnewsflash.com...
Normal sterilization procedures such as cooking, washing, and boiling do not destroy prions. Caregivers, health care workers, and undertakers should take the following precautions when they are working with a person with CJD:
* Wash hands and exposed skin before eating, drinking, or smoking.
* Cover cuts and abrasions with waterproof dressings.
* Wear surgical gloves when handling a patient's tissues and fluids or dressing the patient's wounds.
* Avoid cutting or sticking themselves with instruments contaminated by the patient's blood or other tissues.
* Use disposable bedclothes and other cloth for contact with the patient. If disposable materials are not available, regular cloth should be soaked in undiluted chlorine bleach for an hour or more, then washed in a normal fashion after each use.
* Use face protection if there is a risk of splashing contaminated material such as blood or cerebrospinal fluid.
* Soak instruments that have come in contact with the patient in undiluted chlorine bleach for an hour or more, then use an autoclave (pressure cooker) to sterilize them in distilled water for at least one hour at 132 - 134 degrees Centigrade.

CHLORINE is a greenish-yellow gas which combines with nearly all elements. It is a respiratory irritant to the mucous membranes and lungs. Chlorinated liquids burn the skin and many fabrics. As little as 3.5 ppm can be detected as an odour. 1000 ppm is likely to be fatal after a few breaths which is why it was used by the Nazis as war gas in 1915.
Dioxin and the precaution principle
www.mad-cow.org...
Two years ago, in 1997, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) formally concluded that dioxin causes cancer in humans.[1] IARC is a division of the World Health Organization (WHO) and its recommendations carry considerable weight in the world of public health policy.
Dioxin is the name of a family of 219 toxic chemicals, many of them created as unwanted byproducts of numerous industrial processes: incineration of municipal solid waste, hazardous waste and medical waste; the smelting of metals; the manufacture of chlorine-bleached paper; and the production of many pesticides and other toxic chemicals. Basically, any time you have high temperatures and the presence of chlorine-containing chemicals, you have conditions that can spawn dioxins.

???
No. My dad died Christmas day - I haven't been thinking clearly and I seem to have mucked up my project. Just trying to figure out how to get it on track.
...I'm not "anti-Bush" per se - I just see him as the current puppet being manipulated by the corporate NWO. ...My concerns are more with identifying the larger strategy and specific steps, and blocking the takeover.
