House Dem: Change title of EPA bill to 'Koch Brothers Appreciation Act'
By Andrew Restuccia - 04/05/11 11:34 AM ET


Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) wants to change the title of a bill that would permanently block Environmental Protection Agency climate regulations to the "Koch Brothers Appreciation Act," a reference to the billionaire brothers who are active in Republican politics.

Connolly has submitted to the House Rules Committee a series of amendments that would change the title of the bill to everything from the "Middle Eastern Economic Development and Assistance Act" to the ]b]"Head in the Sand Act."

Others include the "Protecting Americans from Polar Bears Act” and the "Oil Producing Economy Capitulation Act.”

The amendments are a last-ditch effort by Connolly to criticize Republicans ahead of the upcoming floor debate Wednesday on the legislation, which was authored by House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton (R-Mich.).

2. Hey, the RW have been labelling laws with what can only be called

interesting and misleading names (Clean Air Act, Patriot Act). It's about time we get into the game. They keep winning with their creativity.
