(202)-225-6205 —— Boehner’s office,
let’s light up the lines, people
This is an incomplete statement I hear time and time again, and I have a need to clarify something for those who want to stock up: Sales of the 100 Watt bulb are indeed illegal after next January 1, but what most folks aren't getting is they've been illegal to manufacture since last January 1. If you don't stock up right away, they'll be gone by December.
Sellers are limited to stock on hand TODAY!! No restocking is happening at the wholesale level!

I was criticized on another thread when I said that Boehner was and is partly responsible for Fred Upton’s violation of his promise to repeal the light bulb ban.
I’m sorry, but Boehner made a big mistake when he appointed the guy who CO-SPONSORED the ban as chairman of the committee. Not because he was qualified, not because he represents Republican or conservative values, but simply because IT WAS HIS TURN.
And now Boehner is making another big mistake by not disciplining Fred Upton or even speaking out about this miserable behavior.
That’s all we need—a leftist, global-warming jerk in charge of our congressional energy policy. Boehner put him there, and Boehner is responsible for keeping him there and failing to exert any pressure to make him do his job.
I did agree last fall that we should wait and see how this plays out. Well, it’s playing out extremely badly. These guys are RINO losers. And I’m not being an unrealistic purist when I say that. Because this ban is unpopular with the voters as well as stupid and counterproductive.
I can only suspect that Boehner and Upton are being paid off by General Electric for letting them make those compact flourescents in China.
I also happen to be a CF user. But that’s from choice, to save money on my electric bill, not because some jerk in Washington wants to force me to.
I believe that RINO’s, the alleged “Moderate Republicans” are all as much a part of the course towards a NWO as the Socialist/Democrats, and wouldn’t trust a damned one of them anymore than I would the Democrats.
They lie. They obfuscate. They will go to exteremes to do what they have to to stall the pitchforks, the tar, the feathers to advance their NWO goal.
It is my opinion that Dems, and RINO’s are comrades in purpose.
GOP voters have been betrayed over and over and over again. The situation is so dire, we can't afford that anymore. The House GOP has become the do-nothing-except-stupid-deals-with-Obama party. My message to the elected GOP. Going through life, fat, drunk and stupid is no way to live as a political party.
These House GOP are playing with fire. How stupid can they be? It's absolutely amazing how stupid, out of touch, insane they are. What do they think is happening in this country.
We've got to pick the RINO's and primary their butts. Get them out before they can do anymore damage. Send them back to their country clubs.
One meaningful division applicable to 2011 is between the lying, foul and corrupt; compared to the relatively clean-a distinct minority. Where the congress creature forming the subject of the article fits in the scale is manifest.
Michelle Bachman should have run for Speaker of the House instead of President.
They all need a little more time to sell off their stock in the companies that produce the CFL’s. Then watch out.
Upton also has a facebook page where he can be reached.
