Do they now vote as a single block, with a common mind? I think you'll find D's and R's on both sides of the issue. There shouldn't be any problem passing a bill that authorizes the EPA to exempt pleasure vessels' "discharges incidental to the normal operation of a boat" from the more stringent- and proper- regulations prohibiting foreign ships from dumping tons of organisms with ballast water. Most of the enviro-groups seem to realize they will have to live with this exemption if they want the overall law to stand. You're as likely to find some R's who might oppose the bill in an effort to get the ban on foreign bilge dumping lifted entirely. That additional expense and inconvenience can't be good for the bottom line of the various corporations that run shipping lines to US ports. |

Go back and read the title of the thread. It has to do with the "ruling", and that was last September. Agreed? |

And, it might remove one's reason for whining. Who would want that to happen? |

This is my doing, although I suspect a few other people yelled, too: http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquer...:@@@L&summ2=m& How about you? |

Last fall, Federal judge rules that the EPA does not have authority to exempt recreational vessel discharges from the permitting and enforcement process. 2. In Jan/Feb of 2007, NMMA begins spearheading an effort to convince congress to draft legislation that would allow the EPA to exempt recreational vessels. 3. Letters and calls from thousands of boaters (voters) around the country bring the issue to the attention of congress. 4. The HR was introduced. My point is simply that one doesn't have to wait until there's a bill before the House or Senate to lobby for congressional action. |

I already know, and so do you. But are you man enough to admit it? |

A list of senators is he http://www.senate.gov/general/contac...nators_cfm.cfm By noon on Saturday June 2nd, I want you to present the list here in a message, with a Y or N indicating how you think each senator will vote. Then, you will get back here and remind us when the vote happens, so we can compare your drunken prediction with the reality. |
