Thank God for men like Ken Cuccinelli

   Yes; Ken Cuccinelli..attorney General of Virginia...
            The control freak liberals in the Obama administration have been prevented from destroying the American way of life..at least in this instance.
     The EPA..always overreaching any sense of their duties, have just tried for a huge power grab which would have put ALL of us at the mercy of the obama supporters.

   If the EPA were to have been able to call rainwater a pollutant, there would have been absolutely NO LIMIT to the damage they could do to ANY person or TOWNSHIP they had a grudge against.   
   AFTER ALL, WHERE IN THE US DOES RAIN NOT FALL UPON ?   Without much study, one can see where the EPA under presidential direction, can DICTATE to virtually any person or any jurisdiction.
 
   ..But Ken Cuccinelli stopped them .....

For a moment I was speechless.
that has to be the most ludicrous thing the EPA has ever dreamed up.

  It does sound ridiculous; but it perhaps the biggest ever attempt at a "power grab" ...and this by a control freak administration.  If they had sneaked this through, they could blackmail any person, business, farm, or municipality..
       The only ones excluded... would be those which the rain never falls upon...

COULD BLACKMAIL ANY PERSON ironglow? Hell fail to pay your taxes, and we'll take you personal belongings, including your house isn't blackmail?

  Right you are Dee...guess I stand corrected..

People want the Chesapeake Bay cleaned up, the government tries to do something about it and gets shot down. That's the way things work.
The issue isn't rain it's unmitigated runoff which is a pollutant, maybe just not under the EPAs domaine. Back to the drawing board!

  We are supposed to "TRUST" big government.. it was only a few months ago when Obammy said he wouldn't try to mess with our guns.
   BTW:  Which farm, home or other business does not have rain fall upon it?  When big government says "trust me"..red flags go up.
 
  Those same flags should raise when we hear, "I'm from the government, and I'm here to help"..
