Earth Day's organizers have distanced themselves from his name, citing Gaylord Nelson, an environmental activist and former Wisconsin governor and U.S. senator who died in 2005, as Earth Day's official founder and organizer. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Sen. Gaylord Nelson created Earth Day in the spring of 1970 as a way to bring national awareness to the fact that, at the time, there were no legal or regulatory mechanisms in place to protect the environment. About 20 million participants at various Earth Day events across the U.S. made Earth Day a success, and in December of 1970, Congress authorized the creation of a new federal agency to tackle environmental issues — the EPA.

He did compost her. That is very environmentally conservationist.

The lawyer who persuaded the Court to release the murderer of Holly Maddux on bail - enabling Einhorn to flee to Europe was RINO Arlen Spector.

Fred Maddux, a veteran, a man proud to have served his country during World War II, took his own life. No one except his family might be able to say what his reasons were, but perhaps he felt that his country had let him down or felt helpless and unable to get justice for his eldest, and loved, daughter Holly.

Arlan Spector and other officials let the murderer of his eldest daughter out on bail and when Einhorn left the country, neither Arlan Spector nor anyone in the government seemed to wanted to pursue the murderer Einhorn and bring him to justice while Fred Maddux was alive.

But before he took his life, Fred Maddux did all he could to find his beloved daughter. He’d met Ira Einhorn when he came with Holly on a visit. Obnoxious, rude and boorish, Einhorn deliberately ignored family members unless he was guiding the conversation. He treated Holly as his servant, ordering her around.

Modern civilization cannot be sustained without energy from oil, coal and natural gas. That is why the left hates it - to destroy Western Civilization.

Which is utter bullshit !!!

It was created to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Communist Lenin.

I guess Einhorn wanted to channel Teddy Kennedy, since he got away with murder...

Hollywood is going to reboot the TV show 'How to get Away with Murder'. The show be about Teddy Kennedy and the Clinton's...and other liberals... 😀

Nelson and Proxmire were two stains on my home state’s name. Neither were worth the powder to blow them to hell.

I was at that Earth Day and sitting not far from him while he made his self-adoring countercultural speech, pictured at the link. One of my friends even introduced me to him, and he was so far up his own backside, he just expected me to be enthralled with him, which I wasn't.

Even though I was vaguely in favor of clean air and clean water and a good time sitting on a blanket in Belmont Plateau overlooking the City and listening to rock music with a bunch of other young people, I thought he was a disgusting creep, and the poster boy for self-righteous dirty hippie/politico anti-establishment obnoxiousness. I wasn't at all surprised that he turned out to be a homocidal maniac.

What this story doesn't detail is the incredible tenacity of Lynne Abraham, the Philadelpia Assistant District Attorney and later the District Attorney, who fought like a tiger with the powers that be in France and the U.S. to get this monster extradited.
