The U.S. House of Representatives has passed by voice vote Congressman Cynthia Lummis' (R-Wyo) amendment to the Equal Access to Justice Act (EAJA), legislation passed in 1980 to reimburse individuals who otherwise could not afford to legally pursue claims against the government. Congress intended that EAJA operate as a social safety net program, with reimbursements available for the nation's veterans, seniors and small business. However, as scholarly journals from Virginia Tech and Notre Dame, GAO reports, and open court and tax records show, in recent years EAJA funds have been flowing to environmental organizations filing suit on procedural grounds.

    Anything, anything to support "Big Energy" and try and cut the "evil environmentalists." This person also voted against the recent GI Jobs bill that was co-written by four of her Republican colleges who also voted against it. Why? Because it is more important to play politics now than help wounded vets get jobs.

    Enzi writes responses to me explaining his positions if he disagrees. Barrasso panders or waits until after a vote until answering. But Lummis won't even acknowledge you exist.

    A fascist military empire like the GOP USA! USA! USA! (the largest employer in Wyoming is the USAF) has no use for "environmentalists" Lummis will get those anti-fascists because she is the representative who used a blocked telephone in the Capitol to harass me Feb 1, 2012: (202) 226- 9928 at 11:12, 11:41, 11:57 and 14:16 Just what you'ld expect from a staff whose chief is the self-serving former head of the "Wyoming Business Council", Mr. do-nothing Tucker Fagan
