office opens if show at dual if you Call yourself an you need to know about a crucial Issue that is now confronting the con Gress motto remaining firmly in office since this is an Issue that affects every regardless of race or gender or religion or briefs or boxers this is an Issue that is fundamental to the whole entire cherished american Way of this Issue is in talking about the toilets now being manufactured for Home they you have to flush them two or three times to get the Job it has become very Embarrass ing to be a guest at a party in a newer because if you need to use the you then have to Lurk in the bathroom for what seems to you like sever Al presidential while the other guests Are whispering what is your name doing in there the laundry i know this because i live in a Home with three new and i estimate that i spend 23 per cent of my waking hours flush ing this is going on All Over and its causing a serious loss in National productivity that could really Hurt us As we try to compete in the global Economy against nations such As where top com Mode scientists Are developing totally Auto mated household models so High tech that they make the space shuttle look like a the weird thing the old american toilets flushed just so Why did we change what Force would cause an entire nation to do something so stupid heres a hint its the same Force that from time to time gets a Bee in its Gigantic Federal Bonnet and decides to spend millions of dollars on some scheme to convert us All to the metric or give us All Swine flu or outlaw or you guessed it our government what happened in Congress passed the Energy policy and conservation which declared to save All consumer toilets would henceforth use Gal Lons of water per that is Way less water than was used by the older models toilets that made this nation great the toilets that our founding fathers fought and died for which Are now prohibited for new the Public was not consulted about the of course the Public has to go to so it never gets consulted about anything going on in but its the Public that has been stuck with these new Toi which Are saving water by requiring everybody to flush them enough times to Drain Lake Erie on an hourly the new toilets Are so bad that there is now i am not making this up a Black Market in gallon people Are sneak ing them into new despite the fact that the Energy policy and conservation act provides for i am not making this either a Fine for procuring and installing an illegal i checked this out with my local who told me that people Are always asking him for but he refuses to provide because of the the irony is that i live in Miami you can buy drugs Here simply by opening your front door and Yelling hey i need some crack heres another irony the fed eral toilet Law is administered by the department of ener according to a Washington Post article sent in by Many Alert the Doe recently had to close several mens rooms in the Forrestall build ing because i am still not making this up overpressure sized air in the plumbing lines was causing urinals to that Correct these people Are operating the urinals of and there threatening to Fine us if we pro cure working the this is Why i love this nation is not taking this sitting there has been a grassroots led by commode to change the toilet and a Bill that would 859 the plumbing standards act has been introduced in con Gress by Joe Knollenberg of i talked to Knollenberg press Frank who told me that the Public response has been very but the Bill has two strikes against it it makes people want these Are huge liabilities in the toilet Bill will probably face lengthy hearings and organized opposition from paid lobbyists for All we know it will get linked to Whitewater and wind up being investigated by up to four special pros ecu so it May not be passed in your but i urge you to do what you write to your and Tell them you support Knollenberg while youre at Tell them youd like to see a Constitution Al amendment stating that if any Federal Agency has so much spare time that its regulating that Agency will immediately be and its buildings used for some activity that has some
