Congressman Devin Nunes today announced that he will be speaking at the Tea Party Patriots’ march in Sacramento on Friday – an event expected to draw more than 30,000.

“The theme of this march is “eco-regulation” and, more specifically, how radical environmentalists are contributing to the destruction of our way of life. As the Representative of an area under siege by laws and regulations written by environmentalists and their allies in government, I am particularly aware of the hardship this movement is causing,” said Rep. Devin Nunes.

Congressman Nunes has been a leading critic of radical environmentalism and its impact on the San Joaquin Valley. He has fought to reform the Endangered Species Act, and has authored legislation that would make significant changes to resource management in the United States. Reforms are urgently needed because timber, oil, natural gas, water and other domestic resources have been locked-up by laws, regulations and lawsuits spearheaded by environmental radicals.

“We have entire communities that are being systematically destroyed at the hands of trial lawyers, judges and lawmakers – who are all at the beckon call of these radicals. Just ask anyone who once worked in California’s timber industry. In addition, farmers and rural communities have long been under assault by these groups. Today, they are suffering unprecedented levels of water depravation which will be the death blow in many San Joaquin communities,” said Rep. Nunes.
