Smart move calling it the "Light Bulb Freedom of Choice Act".

Liberals are always talking about a "woman's right to choose" and "choice", so why not play them at their own game - allow people the "freedom to choose" the lightbulbs they wish to use.

No doubt we will see much hypocrisy from the liberals...

I like how they linked George Bush to the United Nations' call for a Global Ban on incandescent light bulbs.

Nice touch.

Bachmann is history with me after voting to extend the patriot act. Done. Finished. Nada. I will never trust her ever again. It saddens me.

There are like 20 bills on this aren't there? I never saw something more people wanted to sponsor... I mean, without being shoved into it.
