Bush’s Failing Grade

The League of Conservation Voters gives Bush an overall grade of F for his environmental actions. To determine this grade, the League of Conservation Voters surveyed environmental leaders about Bush’s performance in protecting our nation’s environment and conducted an exhaustive review of his environmental actions since taking office.

The Bush administration’s approach to the environment demonstrates a clear bias toward the interests of the oil industry, the utility industry and other corporate contributors at the expense of the health and safety of the public. For Bush, corporate interests come first, and the public interest in clean air and safe drinking water comes last.

Initiative after initiative introduced by Bush and his political appointees favor corporate interests such as timber, oil and utilities over the public’s interest in a clean and healthy environment. Administration proposals would weaken and eliminate fundamental protections for our air, land and water, protections that have improved the quality of life over the past 30 years.

Bush has waged a subtle and ominous campaign using deceptive rhetoric, arcane procedural methods, and funding cuts to carry out an anti-environment, pro-corporate agenda. This “starve-and-strangle” approach has administration officials gradually and steadily slashing budgets for key environmental programs. At the same time, deceptively named proposals such as the “Healthy Forests” initiative and the “Clear Skies” proposal would allow logging companies and electric utilities to increase their profits at the expense of environmental protection and the public’s health.

Help protect our environment by joining Howard Dean’s $100 Revolution now.

Hey, where is all the Dean info lately? Perhaps your candidate has exposed himself as a raving lunatic...

Great to see the environment highlighted on this site. Below is a media alert I'm circulating among Dean sites...

--RAPID RESPONDER ALERT--

Maureen Dowd of The New York Times has committed another media atrocity against Howard Dean, which appears in Sunday's New York Times.

To read her most recent, and possibly most outrageous column, and to get links to send letters to the Times, please visit:

Or click my URL. The site also has a link to the full "crowd video" of the Iowa speech, which shows Dean's speech in its true context, distorted on the news networks.

It's time to take back the media -- along with our country.
