Abortion[edit]

I thought Fred was a confirmed Pro-Choicer? The article says "supposedly". Any documentation either way? Endorsed by any pro-life or pro-choice groups?

He is pro-abortion in cases of rape, incest and where life of the mother is in question.

2006 Election[edit]

Link to Kim Clark leads to the wrong person. The Kim Clark who is running against Fred Upton has a website at http://www.kimclarkforcongress.com/

I'm new to wikipedia, so am not sure how to fix this. - JF

The 15th?[edit]

Um, I know this sounds like an extremely stupid question, but, uh, I heard a rumor that Fred Upton is Fred Upton the 15th, and was wondering if anyone knew if there was any truth to this.

His dad's name is Steven Upton, so no. He also has a second cousin named Fred Upton, who is also Fred Upton I.

Predecessor[edit]

Wasn't Fred preceded by Mark Siljander? I believe he defeated him in a primary, Stockman was before Siljander...realizing the district has been redrawn numerous times, perhaps someone can clarify...

Include clarification "of referring to greenhouse gas emissions by the United States."[edit]

Include clarification "of referring to greenhouse gas emissions by the United States." 97.87.29.188 (talk) 21:38, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why? "Greenhouse gas emissions", perhaps, but, even though talking about US policy, said policy can and should effect greenhouse gas emissions by other countries. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 07:12, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

By US Policy, do you intend Climate change policy of the United States? 99.181.138.132 (talk) 03:33, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Or Energy policy of the United States (United States Wind Energy Policy, Renewable energy policy, Carbon pricing for example), Environmental policy of the United States, or currently Foreign policy of the Barack Obama administration # Climate change? 99.181.138.132 (talk) 03:40, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Or the globalized Politics of global warming? 99.181.138.132 (talk) 03:37, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Added quote.[edit]

Added quote[1] potentially related to Talk:Tea Party movement/Archive 18#Add Energy Policy section? Resource: Get the Energy Sector off the Dole? from June 26, 2012 The New York Times. 108.73.113.185 (talk) 05:08, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Removed, as (1) URL is broken, and (2) the consensus at the archived talk page was not in favor of your addition. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 05:12, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

See Talk:Tea Party movement/Archive 18#Add Energy Policy section? Resource: Get the Energy Sector off the Dole, with ? 99.109.125.124 (talk) 07:43, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly. You have no support. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 08:35, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why was this removed?[edit]

Regarding the regulation of greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act being upheld in Federal Appeals court, Upton said that Congress’s refusal to approve greenhouse gas limits constituted a decision and that lawmakers should act now to reverse the E.P.A. emissions rules. Carbon regulation “threatens to drive energy prices higher, destroy jobs and hamstring our economic recovery,” per Upton.^[1]
