News Release Congressman James Hansen (Utah) ^ | July 18, 2002 | Shifflett

Investigate Cantwell for illgotten gains in the pumpndump tech bubble.

I've long thought the same thing. Go after her hard and heavy.

I'm sure I remember something a little funny about her corp.

Thanks for the ping! BTTT

Inslee needs to be voted out! Hope the folks in Washington will see this and put in somebody that actually has Washington's best interests at heart,

I'm in Washington, and some of us despise Inslee, but there are others who vote for him and Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell. None of them care about the state; their highest duty seems to be to the Communist Party. The state is broke, logging and fishing are virtually destroyed, Boeing has left, Internap is leaving, and they wonder where the money is.

One step at a time. At least it's a start.

I am so glad to see this - this roadless stuff is part of the reason we are having all these forest fires - no access to the wilderness areas for proper maintenance.

[Jhoffa_]

The amendment would have prohibited federal funding for forest management activity in the 57 million acres of federal forestland that President Clinton proclaimed as roadless in a hasty administrative order in the waning days of his presidency.

Hell is frozen, I just found something Clinton didn't want to fund.

Oh my..

And this "backfires" idea is interesting to me. I mean, if you can set a controlled fire in the path of a raging wildfire, will you not deprive it of fuel and effectively create a barrier?

I think that sounds like a great idea.. Provided it can be controlled with some degree of certainty.

EG: You burn the woods on the outskirts of town slowly today, so it can't burn quickly tomorrow when the flamefront hits it and take the town with it.

Sounds brilliant.
