EPA lawyers: Cap-and-trade bill is “fatally flawed”
Michelle Malkin — The EPA has two more whistleblowers in its own ranks calling out the agency’s flawed agenda and the cap-and-trade monstrosity. [...] Read the rest »

How Free Should Gov't Workers Be? EPA Lawyers Get Into YouTube Trouble over Cap-and-Trade
techPresident — Nearly everyone can publish online in one form or another these days. Should they? That's a question with particular resonance when "everyone" includes government employees, particularly those working in service of a presidential administration. Two Environmental Protection Agency attorneys have drawn the attention of their higher-ups because they posted a YouTube video calling into question the wisdom of the Waxman-Markey bill on cap and trade. The ten-minute video essay, made by a husband and wife team of EPA attorneys stationed in the San Francisco regional office, is called "The Huge ...

Video: EPA lawyers blast cap-and-trade proposals
Hot Air » Top Picks — Video: EPA lawyers blast cap-and-trade proposals posted at 1:36 pm on November 10, 2009 by Ed Morrissey Share on Facebook | printer-friendly What happens when EPA lawyers criticize proposals for cap-and-trade bills wending their way through Congress, demand more investment in nuclear power, and expose the failures of similar systems in Europe?  The most open and transparent administration evah tells them to shut up , at least to the extent of their expertise to discuss the issue.   First, let’s watch the video that explains their problems with cap-and-trade: For this apostasy, the EPA told them to shut up: The Environmental Protection Agency ...

EPA Lawyers Give Honest Assessment Of Cap And Trade Bill, Obama Tells Them To Shut Up
Say Anything — Two EPA lawyers produced this YouTube video pointing out just how bad and misguided the proposed “cap and trade” bills winding through Congress are: The response from the Obama administration acting through the EPA brass?  Well they kindly explained to these two lawyers that they could shut the hell up:   The Environmental Protection Agency has directed two of its lawyers to makes changes to a YouTube video they posted that is critical of the Obama administration’s climate change policy.   The agency, citing federal policies, told ...

EPA Threatens Own Lawyers Over Video Critical Of Cap and Trade
NewsBusters.org - Exposing Liberal Media Bias — The Environmental Protection Agency has threatened two of its own attorneys over a video they posted at YouTube which was highly critical of pending global warming legislation. This wasn't the first time the agency came down on its own people for having views contrary to the Obama administration, for in March it suppressed an internal report which challenged the connection between rising temperatures and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Somewhat surprisingly, the New York Times reported this incident Tuesday (video embedded below the fold, h/t Hot Air): The Environmental Protection Agency has directed ...

EPA to two of its lawyers: Alter critical video or face “disciplinary action”
Sister Toldjah — Hmm. And here I thought dissenting points of view were going to be “welcomed” within this admin? Apparently not: The Environmental Protection Agency has directed two of its lawyers to makes changes to a YouTube video they posted that is critical of the Obama administration’s climate change policy. The agency, citing federal policies, told the two lawyers, Laurie Williams and Allan Zabel, who are married and based in San Francisco, that they could mention their E.P.A. affiliation only once; must remove language specifying Mr. Zabel’s expertise and their years of employment with the agency; and must remove an image ...

Chairman Zero Clamps Down on Dissent
Moonbattery — Hey, Remember Jimmy Hansen, the NASA bureaucrat and "climate scientist" who whined that the Bush administration had silenced him from speaking out on "climate change?" He became well-known for speaking out on "climate change" in the New York Times, the Washington Post, the AP, CBS, ABC, NBC, NPR, the BBC, Mother Jones, as well as multiple conferences and gatherings... all the while complaining that the Bush Administration was preventing him from speaking out on "climate change." Remember how the progressive left thought it was terrible, just terrible, that the administration would punish someone for expressing dissent from the administration's "climate change" policy. ...

WaPo: EPA Forces Employees to Pull Down YouTube Video Critical of Cap-and-Trade
NewsBusters.org - Exposing Liberal Media Bias — Imagine if you will, that during the prior presidential administration two EPA employees put up a video on YouTube that criticized environmental and energy policies supported by Republicans in Congress and President Bush, only to be told by EPA officials that they need to take down the video. Given the media's consternation about the Bush administration's alleged efforts to squelch proponents of the theory of manmade global warming, such a story would likely be front page news in many newspapers, including the Washington Post. But in this instance, the administration in question is Obama's, and the EPA employees are going at the president from his left flank, ...

The Anti-Cap and Trade Video That Embarrassed the EPA
RedState — Laurie Williams and Allan Zabel are lawyers in the Environmental Protection Agency’s San Francisco office. They are also married to each other. Williams and Zabel are Global Warming “true believers”. They’ve done the research, and they think the Waxman-Markey-Boxer-Kerry Cap and Trade scheme is a very bad idea. So they wrote a position paper for the website www.carbonfees.org. They wrote an editorial that was published in The Washington Post. And they made the following video: Their conclusion — that what we need is a big old tax on ...

EPA censors emplyoyees youtube video criticizing cap & trade--PEER keeps it on the web
Open Left - Front Page — Last weekend, I ran a two-part interview I did with Jeff Ruch, executive director of Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER). (Part 1 / Part 2) This week, PEER announced that the Obama EPA had ordered two EPA attorneys to take down a youtube video they had posted--"The Huge Mistake - Climate Change Solutions 2009"--criticizing the Obama-supported cap & trade approach to climate change as fatally flawed.  PEER has reposted it for them. The two attorneys, Laurie Williams and Allan Zabel, are married to each other, and each has worked at EPA for over 20 years.  In the video, Zabel, ...

EPA Cracks Down on Cap & Trade Dissenters
Moonbattery — We have a consensus on global warming all right — at least to the extent Big Government has been able to impose it. Here's what happens when Environmental Protection Agency employees try to alert the public about the looming catastrophe of Tax & Charade: The EPA has told two longtime agency veterans and outspoken critics of the administration's cap-and-trade plan to remove any references to the agency in their critiques and to get approval for any future "outside writing projects." That includes removing their critical video from You Tube. Laurie Williams and Allan Zabel, a married couple and EPA lawyers in San ...

EPA Lawyers Challenging the White House 'Truth' Machine
JammieWearingFool — Dare to oppose the party line? Prepare to have your life and liberties turned upside down. Dissent is to be crushed. I don't care if you are Fox News, a health insurance company, or simply private citizens who question the propaganda coming out of this administration. Laurie Williams and husband Alan Zabel worked as lawyers for the Environmental Protection Agency, EPA, in its San Francisco office for more than 20 years, and they know more about climate change than most politicians. But when the couple released a video on the Internet expressing their concerns over the Obama administration’s plans to use cap-and-trade legislation to fight climate change, they were told to ...
