As you are chanting...be mindful that if no one is listening...because they turned you off when they heard the first utterance...then how effective can the same old same old be?

  This is all very frustrating to read.  To be blunt, are the Democrats and/or national conservation organizations starting yet to play catchup?  I hope to live to see the day when all political parties are vying to be best on the environment, but that sure isn't what's happening now.  If research on "framing" is what it takes to be effective, I sure hope money is being spent on that.  I'm very partial to facts and programs, myself, and don't like spin.    But at this low political point, I'd be willing to chant "protecting America's grandeur," "poison-free cities," and every other mantra that I was told to keep repeating, if doing that would help.
