They all support EPA efforts to regulate greenhouse gases, even though that circumvents the citizens’ right to have their elected representatives make U.S. laws. More on the Obama Administration overreach and his crony corporatists support at the National Legal and Policy Center blog today.

I think conservatives should organize a boycott of those businesses who are a part of the organization that sent this letter to Harry Reid. It is time something is done to hit these folks in the pocketbook. I know, easier said than done. But it is ridiculous that Obama seeks to do by regulation what he could not accomplish legislatively. And the Clean Air Act is such a poor vehicle to be using to regulate this, anyway. It will be a disaster.

Hey, I own Target stock (not a lot). But if they are stupid enough to support this then boycott the crap out of them.

And they probably have 'diversity' in their mission statement and they probably support equal rights for LGBTQAIOSP's, too.

They are just more examples that illustrate the truth of Willi Schlamm's Maxim: "The trouble with socialism is socialism. The trouble with capitalism is capitalists." http://old.nationalreview.com/.....200907.asp
Robert Pinkerton| 1.1.11 @ 11:48AM
Those "capitalists" to whom Schlamm's quote refers, are mono-maniacal short-term tunnel-vision economo-maniacs. The economy may be the circulatory system of the Body Politic; but a culture, just as an individual physical human body, is composed of more systems than merely the circulatory.

"The solution to Capitalism is more Capitalism." That was Jonah Goldberg's comment. It fits here. If the bureaucrats at the EPA knew something about capitalism they would be capitalists, not bureaucrats.

That should read, "The solution to capitalism's problems is more capitalism." That is to say-not bureaucratic. These corporations should not be volunteering cooperation with the EPA

The House should call in the head of the EPA and lay down the law...regulate CO2 and your budget goes away.
Bob K.| 1.2.11 @ 8:09AM
The 2011 House of Representatives should call in the Heads of these companies hold hearings and ask them why they are manufacturing the goods they sell here in the US in countries that refuse to cooperate in the effort to lower these greenhouse gases! What gall these people have! What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander! If the people running these corporations really believe the nonsense about greenhouse gases that the EPA is pushing then their profits should have a surcharge on them to help pay for the "damage" they are helping to cause!
The so called capitalists running these corporations are hypocrites of the first rank!
Curtis Rasmussen| 1.2.11 @ 2:16PM
This is a crony capitalist move. Promote the regulation of business to the point that only large, established companies can survive and make any new private business ventures prohibitively expensive.
Bob K.| 1.2.11 @ 6:19PM
EXACTLY!

emailed Target and the others this am -
I learned today that Target supports the EPA regulating Greenhouse gases, and, thereby, American people. I will not discuss the minutia. I will stop shopping at Target until Target changes their policy regarding the EPA, and publicly states their opposition to the EPA's activities. I will encourage everyone I know to follow my lead. I will work endlessly to lower Target's profitability.

Haven't they all moved their HQs to Red China?... after decades of demanding that the product firms move manufacturing there.
