The Biggest Issue Facing Congress/ Obama: Support of the EPA -Lack of support -Republican rejection

If it is not dealt with... -The republicans would get rid of the agency all together -People would not be protected from health risks "We made our choice, to create a single agency to safeguard public health, protect our land, water and air, and hold polluters to account. The results have transformed our nation, strengthened our economy and improved our lives beyond measure." -Peter Lehner, executive director of the Natural Resources Defense Council 2

What needs to be done: -Rally public support. -Use endorsements from Congresspeople. -Become more involved in international policy-making. -Make their role in the lives of everyday citizens more pronounced.
