The mainstream news media are campaigning for the president again on the subject of global warming.

Are we the American people so lazy that we can’t even think for ourselves? Do we have to be told what to eat, how to live and where to bank our own money?

I looked up all the severe weather for the U.S. back to the 1900s and I don’t believe the hurricane in Galveston, Texas, had anything to do with global warming. So does the government have another order of business for its propaganda?

I believe that some of the things we do have repercussions on this planet, but let’s not go to extreme by allowing the Environmental Protection Agency and government officials to legislate and destroy our economy.

We are not living in a fantasy world; people have to exist. Global warming is not going to be prevented unless the whole planet is involved; we all have to be on the same page. All countries have to participate, not just the United States.

Other states say that Maine is a backward state; well, at least we knew where to protest and that was in front of the Capitol building, not in front of businesses stopping the working class from going to work.

Wall Street protesters should park in front of the White House to get their point across. How proud is the president of these protesters now? They must be the lazy ones the president was referring to. The more you read the more disgusting this administration is. Vote responsibly.
