Come to the Rally on Saturday June 18, 2005! Wear Red, White or Blue and plan to meet between 8:30 and 9:00 AM at the BlueRidge High School Auditorium, Pinetop-Lakeside, Arizona.

 

Congressman Rick Renzi has announced a Congressional Hearing in Pinetop, Arizona on Saturday June 18, 2005.

The hearing will focus on improving the National Environmental Policy Act.

 

“The National Environmental Policy Act was intended to ensure that federal decisions are made in an environmentally sound manner, not to stifle community and regional economic development,” said Congressman Rick Renzi.  “We must balance environmental protection and the implementation of NEPA with Arizona ’s growing economy." 

 

Arizona citizens will gather for a Rally prior to the hearing. Individuals, business owners and members of civic groups are expected to share personal experiences related to the environmental policies of the United States.

 

America's environmental policies and legislation have not produced the intended results and the Endangered Species Act and the National Environmental Policy Act have been disastrous for citizens of western states and natural resource producers across our country.

 

Every aspect of our economy is affected by this legislation. We have only begun to witness the disasters occurring across our country while these impediments to American ingenuity adversely affect our environment.

 

Have you noticed the price of gas lately, or did you sit in line, in Phoenix while the pipeline was being repaired? Have you experienced interruptions in electrical supplies or are you concerned that the next blackout may affect you? Has your business ever experienced delays or impediments to progress while complying with environmental regulations? Has your family experienced limitations while trying to enjoy our public National Forest Lands? Has environmental litigation contributed to the hazardous conditions of forest land near your home or business? Do you fear a government that is out of touch with its citizens and unresponsive to their needs?

 

Show your support for American citizens and the natural resource producers that fuel our economy and put food on our table. Come to the Rally on Saturday June 18, 2005! Wear Red, White or Blue and plan to meet between 8:30 and 9:00 AM at the BlueRidge High School Auditorium, Pinetop-Lakeside, Arizona.
