Let me start by emphasizing that I am open to efforts to expedite environmental procedures for true emergencies or in other clear cases where current laws are needlessly burdensome.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If a natural disaster strikes your community, reach out to your friends, neighbors, and complete strangers. Lend a helping hand.
I am working to make sure we don't only protect the environment, we also improve governance.
Local innovation and initiative can help us better understand how to protect our environment.
The need to protect the environment has emerged as an undeniably important priority for me.
I welcome a discussion on a long-term, pro-active approach to disaster relief for Americans. Until Congress arrives at a conclusion, however, we must continue to honor America's honorable tradition of helping Americans recover for natural catastrophes.
The potential in many environmental issues is that if you undertake corrective action without appropriate understanding of the problem, then you wind up doing more harm than good.
I am above the weakness of seeking to establish a sequence of cause and effect, between the disaster and the atrocity.
It is imperative that when thousands of selfless volunteers respond to those who have incurred the wrath of a natural disaster that legal liability need not be hanging over their heads.
I invite you, citizens, to open your eyes and to give serious attention to the future. Reflect on the disasters which may ensue from longer obstinacy. Submit to lawful authority, if you wish to preserve the South untouched. Save your families and your property.
What we aim to do, through public pressure, is help the environment protection bureau to enforce the law.
