Compared to paper grocery bags, plastic grocery bags consume 40 percent less energy, generate 80 percent less solid waste, produce 70 percent fewer atmospheric emissions, and release up to 94 percent fewer waterborne wastes.

There you go again; playing the facts cards.

I remember when we switched to plastic bags back in the 70s to save the trees. The plastic bags were more ecological.

Now we are banning plastic bags.

The tree huggers making these decisions can never make up their minds. Or did the plastic bag companies not pay their protection money to the tree hugger mafia?

Today I learned the American Legion Post I am A member of allowed Obama to rent the hall last Thursday to host 200 Vets. I am so ashamed. I am asking hard questions to the people who allowed this. Will get back to all of you. We are located across from Ellington Field in Houston TX.

The American Legion and the VFW have a lot of Democrat members. Just as there are Democrats on active duty. They are Patriots but have a misguided political view. At least they charged him rent.
