I noticed something.....
It might be a coincidence (I think not) but 7 out of 16 parks on the list are in Alaska. I would be interested in seeing where exactly they are located. How many oil companies are looking into each of these 16 sites? Could that have anyhting to do with the "selling off" of the parks?

A Micro Biogrophy
Richard Pombo is a rancher -- one of the lowest forms of life in the universe -- and represents them and developers. He is probably the most anti-environmental member of Congress, as evidenced by his newly bill that would partially repeal the Endangered Species Act. People like him belong in prison, not in government. The fact that he's a member of the latter is a perfect example of all that's wrong with this country.

Parks for Sale...
While Pombo's mouthpiece at the House Resources Committee claims the proposal to sell national parks was simply an attention getter, a purpose it truly served, what should be as equally disconcerting as his proposal is the lack of outrage by Democrats. The GOP seems to be imploding, what with the SEC investigation into Sen. Frist, the indictment of DeLay, and the White House's continued stumbling about. Yet in this void of leadership the Democrats are nowhere to be found. And we definitely need some leadership across the board, not just in the environmental sector. That said, someone needs to stand up to repudiate Pombo's suggestion and to put Paul Hoffman's rewrite of the National Park Service's Management Policies into the fire. --www.nationalparkstraveler.com

Some Republicans are green, others Green
There is a lot of opposition to Pombo in his own district. The new BLOG saynotopombo at blogspot.com is one example of recent grassroots commentary. There are options for Republicans with an environmental consciousness. They can join Martha Marks's Republicans for Environmental Protection. On the other hand, I left the Republican Party for the Greens. In fact, today, I initiated a discussion of that choice, Martha's or mine, at my personal site. It is a companion to PomboWatch, which I also manage.
