Anyone Here Have a Republican Congressman
If so then give him a call *tonight* and ask that he vote to remove
against the budget reconciliation bill until Richard Pombo's public land giveaway is removed. http://www.tu.org/siteapps/advocacy/...NuFmG&b=376957 http://www.bettermines.org/pombo.cfm g.c. |

The Pombo proposal made it through the Rules committee, although ANWR didn't. http://www.latimes.com/news/nationwo...la-home-nation The only hope to defeat the porvision is to have the entire budget reconciliation bill defeated. g.c. |

Just heard a news report on NPR that the Senate will probably block the
bill unless the ANWR thing is put back in. The Pombo proposal might be moot if the bill gets ripped up in conference. I have a Red congressman, but I doubt if he would care one way or the other, probably leaning for it. We here in Texas would probably not be affected, since we have no Federal public lands. |

Great post. Thanks for the heads up. Seems Pombo and Bush are in
cahoots with trying to ruin our nations great public lands, and in turn the fragile coldwater fisheries we cherish. |

My republican congressman seems to take pride in voting against
anything that I am for. I am suggesting that we vote agains ALL politicians that are in office now on all levels of government. "I want a different bunch of idiots." Big Dale |

THIS ****ES ME OFF!
This was one of my biggest fears when the present administration was elected and my fears were amplified when Gale Norton was appointed as the Secretary of the Interior. Gale Norton (who used to serve in my home state CO) is in favor of managing OUR public lands by the principal of "highest and best use" ie the usage that can produce the most (often short term)income. (She was a member of the think tank Mountain States Legal Foundation. Do some research on the think tank to see how they/she feels our public lands should be managed) This case goes even beyond being managed for the "highest and best use". The sales would be MUCH below market value. What's especially obnoxious to me is that, in a typical sleazy political maneuver, it's just a "little" rider that got attached to a much larger complicated Bill without any public input. First we get "nothing" for the land and once that land is sold, we ain't ever getting it back. THIS SUX!!! Willi |

"Willi" wrote Gale Norton (who used to serve in my home state CO) is in favor of managing OUR public lands by the principal of "highest and best use" ie the usage that can produce the most (often short term)income. Pombo is a 'local' rancher/developer whose major ideology is "more money in MY pocket, **** the future" He seems to have used millions of his own money to gain office for the specific reason of profiting on those millions spent by changing laws ( Endangered Species Act, for one ) that were slowing his personal efforts to destroy as much of California as possible, as fast as possible. TRUE scum and, therefore, I'm sure Bush must love him. Let's all wave our flags, chant a mantra about 'protecting the American people' and then do something to screw them while they aren't looking .... |
