Chattanoogan: Pledge-Signer Robin Smith Denounces EPA “Assault On Jobs”

December 8, 2009

Third District Congressional Candidate Robin Smith denounced Monday’s announcement by Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa Jackson that the Obama Administration intends to seize new authority to regulate carbon dioxide emissions as a pollutant.

Ms. Smith noted her “long standing opposition to energy tax schemes that threaten job creation in an already faltering economy. I am proud to have been recognized by Americans for Prosperity as the candidate for Congress in the Third District who has signed the ‘No Climate Tax Pledge.’ I am committed to representing the people of the Third District in a way that promotes job growth, individual freedom and respects honesty in our public debate. The actions of the Obama Administration show they are more committed to their liberal agenda than putting food on the table of working families.”
