Once upon a time, Congress created independent regulatory agencies for a reason. It gave them five-member commissions, in which the chairman of each commission holds the deciding vote, for a reason—to avoid ill-advised, partisan agendas. In another words, each agency has a significant amount of freedom to make nonpartisan regulations and rulings for the betterment of the US.
So it is with some sorrow that I mention the following Federal Agencies who have directly or indirectly joined together with White House to advance a partisan environmental agenda that has no real democratic support.
- Department of Homeland Security
- Consumer Product Safety Commission
- Environmental Protection Agency
- The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
- Federal Communication Commission
- Office of Natural Resources Revenue
- Department of Labor, the Mine Safety and Health Administration
- Bureau of Land Management
- National Park Service
- Department of Interior
- Department of Energy
- Bureau of Ocean Energy Management
- Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement
- Department of Transportation,
- Consumer Product Safety Commission
- Department of Defense
- Department of Health and Human Services
- Department of Agriculture
- Army Corps o Engineers
- Department of Commerce
- Internal Revenue Service
- Inspector General
- Surgeon General
- NASA
- Office of Science and Technology
