Howdy Folks, Several people have asked to see the letter we recieved from dear sweet GW (Shrub) Bush. The letter was sent to my wife Jan. I never recieved my copy. The Lone Star Chapter of the Sierra Club had a letter writing campaign back in late 1995 and ran sometime through early to mid-1997. We recieved GW Shrubs response in April of 1999. GW is quoted as saying, "A new voluntary program is helping make our air cleaner by bringing businesses and government together to modernize aging factories and power plants to comply with our tough clean air laws. We encourage such voluntary, innovative approaches in Texas". This can be taken to mean that in Texas, the state will do nothing in regards to pollution prevention because the Governor feels that industry and business will take care of the problems, etc. all on their own inititve. We all also know that Texas is the 2nd most polluted state behind California. We do not want this to carry on to Washington D.C. Below is the URL on the Iowa Chapter website. http://www.sierraclub.org/chapters/ia/text/political-file/letterbush.html Read it and weap! Lets get out the message.
