The air that I breathe...
- Three-fourths of Americans consider the environment a "high" priority.
- 84 percent of American voters considered environmental issues to be important in the Presidential election.
- Colorado State University pollsters found that 96 percent of voters consider candidates' commitment to national parks when voting.
- Four out of five Americans consider themselves to be environmentalist or sympathetic to environmentalists.
BUT...
- President Bush appointed as head of the Forest Service a timber industry lobbyist, Mark Rey, probably the most rapacious in history.
- He put in charge of public lands a mining industry lobbyist, Steven Griles, who believes that public lands are unconstitutional.
- He put in charge of the air division of the EPA, Jeffrey Holmstead, a utility lobbyist who has represented nothing but the worst air polluters in America.
- As head of Superfund, a woman whose last job was teaching corporate polluters how to evade Superfund. The second in command of EPA is a Monsanto lobbyist.
Is that what you voted for? Is this your president? Do you still believe that the Bush administration has your best interests at heart?
