The Environmental Protection Agency was created in 1970 to address legitimate concerns regarding pollution and contaminants that were potentially dangerous and needed to be managed.
Since then, however, it has become a rogue federal agency of some 18,000 employees issuing unconstitutional mandates and living off of huge, unreasonable fines against businesses and individuals that it targets, and that do not have the means to fight the out-of-control behemoth. The EPA levied a fine against the Wal-Mart Corporation of $110 million for the improper disposal of pesticide products returned to their stores, and the list goes on.
Another story in the news deals with a 77-year old Montana resident who simply wanted to provide watering holes on his property for his horses and to protect his property from fire. The EPA instead has decided to make an example of the senior citizen and to completely destroy his life.

Who paid for , and pays taxes on, this property? The government is in the wrong. Since Obama over-stepped his power regularly, those in his administration think they can too. This needs to change at once. This agency should be shut down completely and the people who have harassed this veteran should be fired at once. The government isn’t supposed to try to get citizens in trouble, they work for us and are there to protect and defend us. Shameful to put this man through this kind of stress when he fought for his and our freedoms,.use some common sense and drop the charges.
I buy land it mine, though it’s not, only renting, why? If you don’t pay taxes, it’s taken away, rent, but if I am a lawfully paying Taxpayer and want to build, nope, pay for a permit.. and if I own the same land in some places putting a camper on wheels there is $10.00 per day to the town, oops I forgot, if you collect rain water, it’s against the Law.. it’s all true. You will never own anything because when your day is up, you can’t take it with you… I guess I’m saying Count Your Blessings and live as if tomorrow is your last day. Figure everything thing out as you go along until that Day.
OMG. This is crazy.
Get rid of the E P A now this is wrong
Hopefully now that someone else is in charge of the E.P.A. they will review his case and exonerate him!
