Here's what this alert is about:

Stop Nominee Gale Norton's Senate Confirmation

----------------------

President-elect Bush's nominee Gale Norton would be
a "natural disaster as Interior Secretary," according
to Carl Pope, Sierra Club Executive Director. The Sierra
Club opposes Norton's nomination for Interior Secretary
because she has long advocated opening up the Arctic
National Wildlife Refuge to drilling, weakening the
Endangered Species Act, and increasing oil drilling
and mining on wildlands. Tell your Senator that Gale
Norton and her extreme anti-environmental agenda are
wrong for America's parks and wildlife.

Gale Norton is an anti-environmental extremist whose
record as a lobbyist for polluters, an attorney for
the mining and oil industries, and a protege of James
Watt makes her unfit to be Secretary of the Interior.

The Sierra Club also opposes the nomination of Sen.
John Ashcroft for Attorney General because he would
be responsible for enforcing America's environmental
laws, yet throughout his career he has voted to roll
back environmental laws. Tell your Senators to oppose
both Ashcroft's and Norton's confirmations.

-------YOU MAY EDIT THE LETTER BELOW---------

I urge you to oppose George W. Bush's nomination of
Gale Norton for Interior Secretary. Gale Norton is
an anti-environmental extremist whose record as a lobbyist
for polluters, an attorney for the mining and oil industries,
and a protege of James Watt makes her unfit to be Secretary
of the Interior. Her extreme anti-environmental agenda
is wrong for America's parks, wildlife and public lands.

I would also like you to oppose the nomination of former
Sen. John Ashcroft for Attorney General because, throughout
his career, he voted to roll back the environmental
laws he would be responsible for enforcing as Attorney
General.

Please take a stand to protect America's parks and
wildlife, and oppose both of these nominations. Thank
you.

-------END OF LETTER-------------------------

Sincerely yours,

Sheila Bosworth

Princeton, IA 52768-0407
