There are plenty of investigations, but the connection between certain politicians and the greens is corrosive. Money and influence talk loudly in Congress.

The rural types lack the numbers, so their voices are seldom heard, let alone considered. The "hearings" on environmental issues, conducted in the hinterlands, are very often skewed and manipulated and turned to favor a radical green agenda.

Besides the low numbers, most of us have little time or money to spare to counter the enormous clout the watermelon agencies and their funding 'charities', and as a result the politicians who are supposed to represent the interests of their constituents are instead bought off. I am sure my Rep won't do much, as his emphasis is on the military-industrial complex, and how he can keep their support to their sites within his district and state; his vote on most western matters is traded for support for his pet projects with little regard for the long-term consequences even if they impact his district.

Just for reference, here's a list of some of the sites I've gleanrd over the past few months; most against the green agenda, but some for opposition research.

• ActivistCash.com
• American Land Rights Association
• Conservation Biology Institute
• Citizen Review Online - Wildlands Project Step By Step
• Eco Home Page
• Forest Guardians: Gallery of Maps
• Freedom.org
• Natural Process
• Parkway New River Friends for Responsible Economic Development
• PennPIRG
• Pennsylvania Grange
• The Pennsylvania Landowners' Association Homepage
• PERC: An Environmental Think Tank Promoting Market Approaches to Environmental Problems
• Property Rights Congress of America, Inc.
• Property Rights Foundation of America, Inc
• Roadless Area Conservation - USFS
• Save Our Dams
• SaveTrailsEnd.org
• Search the EWG Farm Subsidy Database
• Stewards of The Range
• Still Waiting for Greenhouse
• Stop Federal Land Grab Org.
• U.S. PIRG Home

Enjoy.

The type of logic that I do not comprehend is where a group wants to keep American citizens out of our forests. They don't want any roads in the forests and say how sad it is when we have forest fires that burn for weeks killing animals, trees and clogging the creeks with ashes.

Trees are not rocks, they will grow old and die. They become infected with insects and diseases. An old forest has many less mammals and birds in them than a younger growing forest. Trees provide homes and food for animals, wood for building homes, paper to write upon, jobs for many trades.

What is the purpose behind keeping people out of the forests? There has to be a substantial reason why someone would lie in their research reports.

Please don't go off into a reply about overuse, this is something that can be repaired because trees do grow.

I'll "lift" those links and stick them in the next DUBOB update for researchers & the curious.

After visiting the PIRG site, I found the same old watermelon reports.

For one thing, they are not up to date on Global Warming.
