Why are Republicans so strongly in favor of waste when it comes to America's energy? Michelle Bachmann leads the Dim Bulb Caucus in Congress, opposing efficient light bulbs in favor of outdated technology. Tell Representative Bachmann to stop defending waste!

The <I>Light Bulb Freedom of Choice Act</I>, H.R. 5616, would repeal sections of the <I>Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007</I> that establish a national phase out of old-fashioned inefficient light bulbs and a phase in of compact fluorescent light bulbs.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://thatsmycongress.com/index.php/2008/04/27/bachmann-light-bulb/"><P>It’s sad that Michelle Bachmann has put her head in the sand, deciding to ignore the larger threats of mercury pollution, the economic impact of energy inefficiency, and the devastating effects that climate change is already having on humanity around the world.  What’s even more regrettable, however, is that Michelle Bachmann has convinced 24 other members of the House of Representatives to go along with her scheme to attack the <I>Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007</I>.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/C555B3F4-B2CB-4B00-A524-15249842DB55/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
