President Reagan said, "When you can't make them see the light, make them feel the heat."

Washington is now completely in the dark—we are here to help you put the heat on.

Wall Street Journal, "NRA Under Fire for Campaign-Finance Move", June 18, 2010
Myron Ebell, president of Freedom Action, a grass-roots small-government group, blasted the NRA's move as a "sellout."
New American, "Obama's Gulf Oil Spill Agenda", June 18, 2010
"In a knee-jerk move with perverse consequences, the President's total ban on drilling in the Gulf has created further hardship for communities already reeling from the impact of the BP spill," said Myron Ebell in a Freedom Action press release. "Now in addition to the tourism and fishing sectors ... the oil and gas sector ... is also being knocked down at exactly a time when its high-paying jobs could be helping to support families in the region."
Washington Post, "Conservatives take on the NRA over deal on disclosure bill", June 16, 2010
The most visible critic of the deal is Myron Ebell, director of Freedom Action and a fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, who is encouraging conservatives to slam Congress with calls and e-mails. He is pointedly attacking the NRA for the carve-out.

"The House appears to have scheduled a vote for tomorrow," he said. "They have the votes, and before the NRA sell-out, they did not have the votes. Look, it's one thing when a ship is sinking and you want to save your group. But the ship was not sinking until they did this."

Freedom Action urges Senators to vote Yes on Thursday on S.J. Res. 26, Senator Lisa Murkowski’s Resolution of Disapproval of the Environmental Protection Agency’s Endangerment Finding. Senate passage of the Murkowski Resolution will be the first step in stopping EPA from using the Clean Air Act to regulate the economy into stagnation. This is a key vote that will have a major impact on Americans’ future living standards.

Senators who vote No on the Murkowski Resolution are voting for a regulatory train wreck that will result in much higher energy prices, less money in consumers’ pockets to spend on other things, and lost jobs in manufacturing industries that will lose competitiveness from higher energy costs. It is therefore critically important for the Senate to pass the Murkowski Resolution on Thursday and begin the process of taking back Congress’s authority from an out-of-control EPA.
New York Times, "Reading the Tea Leaves on the Sen. Murkowski-Epa Climate Resolution", May 20, 2010
Freedom Action, which was launched in 2009 by members of CEI, also plans to air radio ads this week to support the resolution, citing the recent controversy surrounding e-mails stolen from scientists at the Climatic Research Unit of the University of East Anglia as a cause for concern about the scientific data used to underpin EPA's climate rules.
Washington Times, "Scientists defend global warming work", May 19, 2010
Already, Freedom Action, a project of employees of the free-market think-tank Competitive Enterprise Institute, is running radio ads in six states arguing that the e-mails in question taint the entire process.

"The National Academy of Sciences reports are swimming against the tide here, which is they're trying to save the establishment position supporting alarmism, when not only the science is moving against them, but public opinion is going against them, partly because of climategate," said Myron Ebell, director of Freedom Action.

Mr. Ebell predicted that even lawmakers who conclude global warming is occurring, and is largely caused by humans, might still balk at the Obama administration rules as being unwise and potentially damaging to some states' economies. And he said there will be other votes that could give Congress other chances to object to the administration rules.
Washington Times, "Dishing the dirt", April 20, 2010
Earth Day has become a $1.4 billion business, says Freedom Action, a political action committee that has tracked the revenues of Al Gore's Alliance for Climate Protection (where the annual take is over $88 million), the Environmental Defense Fund and six other groups. The committee has crafted an advocacy ad to share its findings.

"The leaders of these big environmental pressure groups are as out of touch with the concerns of average working Americans as the chairman of Goldman Sachs. The eight environmental pressure groups we highlight in our ad now largely serve as fronts for big corporations. They have worked closely together to write the [House and Senate] cap-and-trade bills," Freedom Action Director Myron Ebell tells Inside the Beltway.

"Enactment of either bill would provide hundreds of billions of dollars in windfall profits to big companies like GE, Duke Energy and Exelon," he adds. "Freedom Action's ad shows that Al Gore is not the only person doing well from promoting global warming alarmism."
Washington Times, "Hot reading", April 20, 2010
And now for some comedic relief: In response to press reports that needy old folks in Britain are burning even thrift store books in their fireplaces to keep warm this winter, some suggest that Al Gore rush to help with this "humanitarian crisis" by airlifting a bunch of his own books to the shivering pensioners.

"We are collecting copies of Al Gores 'An Inconvenient Truth,' 'Our Choice' and 'Earth in the Balance' and will send them to Oxfam in the UK to distribute for free to vulnerable people trying to survive the cold weather," said Myron Ebell, director of Freedom Action, a grass-roots political group.

"It is appropriate that his books be used to help keep poor people warm since the principal reason the British government is totally unprepared to deal with the brutally cold weather is because they have fallen for the global-warming myths propagated by Gore himself," Mr. Ebell adds. "Burning Gores otherwise worthless books to keep people from freezing is their highest and best use."
