A NON-FICTION, CALIFORNIA HORROR TALE

by SALLY E. MEARS (ryke40 [at] ainet.com)
Regarding the nightmare, who is: Congressman Richard Pombo and his personal agenda of environmental destruction and animal welfare/protection abolishment.
Once upon a time there was a horrible tyrant, who pillaged the land; who stole from the poor and helpless and gave what little they had to his rich, greedy, power-hungry comrades. He consistently chose animal suffering by supporting/encouraging: keeping legal the use of steel leg-hold traps, opposed funding to stop gambling through animal fighting, supports seal-clubbing for fur import, supporting Yellowstone bison slaughtering, and opposing humane euthanasia for downed livestock and hopes to reinstate commercial killing of whales, and the opening again the wide-spread slaughter of elephants for ivory. Still he found other ways to pillage by taking special interest money by paving the roads-literally- for his friends to take nature and its inhabitants and discard them at will. He claimed to be a friend to the natives, and took their money, too. But he’s in the spotlight, exposing a true Central Valley player in a horror story. Let’s make his job and his other-party pal endangered. He is a traitor to us and our land: locally, regionally, statewide and countrywide. His name is Richard ( Dick) POMBO (R-Tracy) – his endangered counter-part in crime is Dennis Cardoza (D-Merced).
Save the Endangered Species Act. Halt opening our protected land to mining. Keep drilling out of the Arctic Refuge –leave the native Alaskan tribes alone! Contact your senators( Boxer and Feinstein), and tell them DO NOT SUPPORT HR#3824 Endangered Species Recovery (NOT!) Act, and let these two “congressmen” ( Pombo and Cardoza )know how you feel about their betrayal. Go to http://www.saveesa.org Write to me for more information/links: ryke40 [at] ainet.com S.E.
