Environmentalists set agenda

Mike Sunnucks   The Business Journal

A newly formed coalition of environmental and preservation groups has released its political agenda for 2003.

The Arizona Conservation Alliance wants to protect state funding for environmental programs such as land preservation as well as air and water quality.

The group also wants gasoline tax revenue to be used for transit systems, not just roads and highways; to preserve the Clean Elections public campaign financing; and for border and law enforcement agencies to be more sensitive of the environmental damage caused by off-road vehicles, road and wall construction and intense night lighting.

The alliance includes environmental and conservation groups such as the Arizona League of Conservation Voters, Nature Conservancy of Arizona, the Phoenix Zoo, the Grand Canyon National Park Foundation and the Sierra Club. It also includes the Border Action Network — a pro-immigration group critical of U.S. policies towards Mexico.

In the name of the desert box tortoise, they want to shut down all military operations on and over most of Southwest Arizona (the Barry Goldwater Range). Their stated agenda is to protect the habitat of an unknown number of tortoises. Their hidden agenda is to do what the Puerto Ricans are trying to do to Viequas. To shut down the military's live fire training. They would sacrifice the lives of our airmen in order to have a satisfied turtle.

I believe it goes deeper than that though. They want to do to the military what their hero Carter did to the CIA. Completely shackle then dismember our capability to defend ourselves. True Marxism at work. Useful idiots will support them.

These Marxist groups market themselves under different names, for their legislative needs of the day. The recently re-named "Border Action Network" shows up here joined with Environmentally "concerned" groups.

They also wrote the fabricated "Hate or Heroism" report against Civilian Border Patrols.

They were previously named SWARM (Southwest Alliance to Resist Militarization) and notice here how anti-military (anti-American) they really are.

This is from the Norman Foundation Grantee Page.

Southwest Alliance to Resist Militarization (SWARM) (Tucson, AZ) $2,000

Funding to support the campaign to Stop Joint Task Force 6, which utilizes Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine and National Guard personnel to "fight the war on drugs" within the United States.

Along with the name change to Border Action Network, they removed all that anti-military stuff. They make me sick.
