		<description>Tacit permission emboldens the audacity of these thugs and that&#039;s what our ignorance and the spinelessness of our representatives is doing:  giving away the power of the people each and every day that they are permitted to remain in office.</description>

		<description>People - we&#039;re getting what we&#039;re asking for.  He should have been impeached two years ago.  Closing our eyes, holding our breath and counting the days till he&#039;s waving ta-ta isn&#039;t going to save this country from the self-destruction within.

We need to begin our own recovery by &quot;doing the next right thing&quot; - which is impeachment.</description>

		<description>With each passing scandal and the knowledge that everything that&#039;s criminal or illegal has BushCheney&#039;s fingerprints all over it, this horrendous tacit approval wrought by the ignorance of Congress, simply emboldens this enemy within.</description>

		<description>This Dioxin Scandal will not go away; in fact, it&#039;s contamination has ruined the lives and will continue to ruin the lives of people exposed to it for generations.

The interference by the White House is criminal.  It&#039;s time to begin impeachment proceedings - there&#039;s nothing left to do with this level of criminal behavior except that.

Let&#039;s get on with impeachment, you spineless sycophants in Congress!</description>

		<description>The presence of Dioxin in the environment is an absolute CRISIS! One small example of this issue:

&quot;I… the Endometriosis Association [has] found that 79% of a group of monkeys developed endometriosis after exposure to dioxin in their food during a research study…&quot;
The severity of endometriosis… …was directly related to the amount of TCDD (2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin – the most toxic dioxin) to which they had been exposed. Monkeys that were fed dioxin in amounts as small as five parts per trillion developed endometriosis.&quot;
&quot;In addition, the dioxin-exposed monkeys showed immune abnormalities similar to those observed in women with endometriosis.&quot;

As the father of a young woman who contracted this disease, I am appalled that the EPA would not relentlessly pursue the effort to rid the environment of it, and would instead direct this &#039;hatchet job&#039; against a member of its regulatory staff who sought to insure the reduction of this danger.

If your are unfamiliar with this disease, you should understand that &quot;endometriosis is an endocrine and immune disease that affects an estimated 89 million women and girls around the world, regardless of ethnic or social origin. The incidence of allergies, asthma, and chemical sensitivities in women with endometriosis is higher than in the general population. Women with endometriosis are also at higher risk for autoimmune diseases and certain types of cancers.&quot;

More information about endometriosis and the causal link to dioxin is available from the &lt;a href=&quot;http://endometriosisassn.org/environment.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Endometriosis Association&lt;/a&gt;.</description>
