Here is something from Michelle Bachmann about incandescent lightbulbs...

"Bachmann introduced the Light Bulb Freedom of Choice Act, to repeal the nationwide phase-out of conventional light bulbs. She argued that the government has no business telling consumers what kind of light bulbs they can buy: 'By 2012, incandescent light bulbs will be no more,' Bachmann said. 'Fluorescent bulbs are more polluting because of their mercury content.' "

Yes, a broken flourescent light tube is a mini toxic waste spill. Imagine breaking one in the stove hood while dinner is cooking?

Also, the US government has no right to tell people what to do in their daily lives. Good work Michelle Bachmann.
