Corrupt Government Title: EPA Union Asks American People, ‘Why Do You Love the EPA?’ You can send your love letters to these parasites directly here: LL2EPA@afge.org HomePress ReleasesEPA Union Asks American People, Why Do You Love the EPA? FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 13, 2017 Contact: Cheston McGuire (202) 639-6453 Cheston.mcguire@afge.org EPA Union Asks American People, Why Do You Love the EPA? Categories: Washington, D.C. , Videos , EPA , Senate , Congress , Budget , Labor , District 2 AFGE Local 3911 will be giving $10,000 worth of cash prizes to winners of Love Letters to the EPA contest WASHINGTON Working people at the Environmental Protection Agency have dedicated their careers to keeping Americas air clean and water safe. They serve without political agenda and keep their focus on protecting community health for all Americans now and in the future. But, despite making massive strides in keeping dangerous pollutants out of our drinking water and air, civil servants at the EPA may soon see their work unraveled. To help combat the narrative being slung by those who want to give polluters free reign, American Federation of Government Employees Local 3911 is asking the American public, Why do you love the EPA? in their Love Letters to the EPA contest open now through September 1, 2017. The 2018 budget proposed by the Trump Administration is calling for a 31 percent cut to the EPAs budget, a massive reduction of staff, and the dismantling of services and programs millions of Americans rely on. These proposals, paired with unnecessary rollbacks of life-saving regulations, threaten the existence of the countrys frontline community health defender. The EPA has faced intense scrutiny this year as the President has rolled out his plans for the agency, said AFGE Local 3911 President Antony Tseng, We want the American people to tell us why they dont want to see the EPA dismantled, and why they want us to continue to protect our citizens for years to come, he added. The contest is open to individuals who are United States citizens, and residents of the United States or a U.S. Territory, who are not employees or former employees of the EPA or their immediate families, and are not members of Local 3911 or their immediate families. Eligible contestants are being asked to submit a video up to two minutes in length about why they dont want to see the President expose future generations to an environment that is hazardous to their health. Love Letters to the EPA is your chance to resist the proposed and inadequate federal budget for 2018, said Tseng. If your video is the best, the $5,000 first prize is yours. We know that a fully funded EPA protects human health and the environment. Who do you trust to tell you the air and water is safe? More Americans trust the U.S. EPA, he added. More information about the Love Letters to the EPA contest can be found on www.afge.org/LL2EPA and by following #LL2EPA on Facebook and Twitter. Winners will be announced in October 2017. ### The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) is the largest federal employee union, representing 700,000 workers in the federal government and the government of the District of Columbia.

Remember, these are the geniuses who poisoned the Animas river and turned it yellow. These same geniuses decided it would also be a great idea to increase pollution and frack up our gasoline by forcing us to burn our FOOD in our cars. Plus, it's a bunch of greedy, corrupt, useless, greasy, lazy union thugs. People who could only get government jobs, mobbed up into a union because they have no skills or self-respect. I want Trump to throw them off a cliff, but I'm expecting the GOPussies to increase their funding theft instead.
The EPA was set up in 1970 and their work was completed by 1985. Since then, all they've done is harm local industries with their additional nit-picky and punitive regulations.
