There is no reason for the country to pay the same high price as paid by Colorado for Ms. Norton s support of corporate polluters and scofflaws. Not only did citizens have to fight the companies that had harmed their health or property, but they had to take on their own state attorney general to do it. And so we feel we have no alternative but to oppose the extremist Norton nomination. I m sure he didn t expect those raiders to actually try to occupy the Department of the Interior and try to use it as a kind of Trojan horse to conquer the public lands. But that is what Ms. Norton s nomination represents.
Time is very short.
In fact, that s the best way to also send a message to President-elect Bush that we want real stewardship of our environment and public lands.
