Well, looka heah ... That li'l ol' EPA is so bereft of ideas and persuasion that they're gonna enlist the help of the 'Useful Idiot' brigade to produce videos telling us poor illiterate and gullible serfs just how good all those 'gub'mint reg'alations' are for us ... I don't know about anyone else, but anytime I see a new regulation promulgated to further restrict my freedom, why, I get excited ... how 'bout you ... ? And if you read the story real good, you can see how anxious that ol' EPA is to have you and anyone else who can't walk and chew gum at the same time 'splain to the rest of us reg'lar folk just WHY we can't get along without them and their fancy-pants 'reg'alations'. And yes, federal regulations DO, unfortunately, touch just about EVERY aspect of our lives. That's why government needs to be cut down to size - starting in November. Git t' steppin', now ... and remember: That $2,500 Grand Prize ... ? That's taxable money ...

EPA Contest Seeks Videos Promoting Government Regulations

Monday, April 19, 2010 | By Matt Cover, Staff Writer

(CNSNews.com) – President Obama's Environmental Protection Agency is encouraging the public to create video advertisements that explain why federal regulations are "important to everyone."
 
The contest, which ends May 17, will award $2,500 to the makers of the video that best explains why federal regulations are good and how ordinary citizens can become more involved in making regulations. The videos must be posted on YouTube and can be no more than 60-90 seconds in length.
 
In the current contest, each video must include the slogan “Let your voice be heard,” and it must direct viewers to the government’s regulatory website www.Regulations.gov. The winning video will then be used by the entire federal government to promote the regulatory process and enhance the public’s participation in it.

The EPA is managing the contest, part of the government’s eRulemaking program, on behalf of the entire government.
 
As explained in the EPA press release announcing the contest, the purpose of the videos will be to remind the public that federal regulation touches “almost every aspect” of their lives and to promote how important those regulations are.
