Howdy You All,

As A Defender of Wildlife I just figured I'd share this with you all!

And wishing you all a Happy, Healthy and Safe Thanksgiving Holiday 2011!

	Dear William, Our wolves and penguins face grave threats today, and we're looking for a little movie magic to help save their lives. The top two movies in America last weekend – Twilight: Breaking Dawn and Happy Feet 2 – raked in more than $161 million in just a few short days. These films feature wolves and penguins that, in reality, are facing serious threats to their existence. Adopt a wolf or penguin today and help us fight the very real threats facing real wolves and penguins. Your symbolic adoption will make a great gift for the Twilight or Happy Feet fan in your life. More important, your adoption will help us … Restore wolves to their historic home in Washington State, the real-life setting of the Twilight movies. We're working with wildlife agencies, tribal members, ranchers and other local interests to return wolves  to an area they were eliminated from decades ago. Save penguins from the threat of climate change. In Antarctica, penguins are literally starving to death due to climate change. Defenders of Wildlife is leading the fight to pass legislation to help wildlife survive the effects of climate change and to educate the public on the plight of these beloved birds. Imagine if together we could raise even a tiny fraction of the money Breaking Dawn and Happy Feet 2 brought in… and direct it to saving the lives of the wolves and penguins that feature so prominently in these films! We're looking for 1,600 caring people from across the country – just one person for every $100,000 that these movies have grossed so far – to adopt a wolf or penguin to help save these animals in the real world. Will you help? Chris Burley Senior Director, Membership and Online Advocacy Defenders of Wildlife P.S. Adopt an animal online through our Wildlife Adoption Center -- or call 1-800-385- 9712 to order by phone. P.P.S. As a special incentive to get you to join the fight for wildlife, we're offering a special 25% discount on all adoptions when you use the promo code MOVIES. Please hurry, though. The discount expires Thanksgiving Day.  Share on Facebook  Share on Twitter

More "Pro-Big Energy & Anti-American Citizens" Emails from Senator Michael Enzi About Destroying the EPA!

Here are 2 letters I received from Senator Mike Enzi today. The republicans are pushing hard to destroy the Agency founded by Republican President Richard Nixon, the Environmental Protection Agency or EPA. For 40 years now it has worked to ensure the Clean Air Act and The Clean Water Act did as they were suppose to, along with the accompanying regulations, get and keep our air and water as clean as possible from flagrant industrial pollution, and ensure those accountable for bad behavior. The current day republicans want to destroy the EPA at the behest of big energy and big oil, who are their sponsors, benefactors and masters, and who own the US Congress, both chambers. Our own senator, Sen. Johnny "TV" Barrasso has acquired so much big oil and energy money it is coming out of every pore of his feeble little body. He has sold his soul to the devil, and every Wyomingite who voted for him is also part of the problem, because of their sheer ignorance. Barrasso, Enzi and Lummis are the kind of elected officials states get when they have low-information and ignorant voters, who fail to do any research on the candidates. It really is both sad and pathetic. Now lets kick these bums out of Congress NOW!

One last thing, show me the studies or data that validates your claims about the EPA! Bet you can't do it!

Dear William:

 

The Senate has not yet considered an amendment that may be offered by Senators John Barrasso (R-WY) and Dean Heller (R-NV) that would prohibit the EPA from moving forward with a rule to greatly expand its authority under the Clean Water Act.  Should it come up for a vote, I intend to support Senator Barrasso's amendment.  

 

I am concerned about efforts at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that would greatly expand unnecessary government control of Wyoming's water.  Doing so would make more water in Wyoming subject to burdensome oversight, which will make work more difficult for our state's farmers and ranchers and would make energy development more difficult. 

 

We all want a healthy, clean environment and there is more we can do, but we need to do it the right way or we will end up with the wrong outcomes.

 

Sincerely,

Michael B. Enzi

United States Senator

Dear William:

 

I am concerned at the frenetic pace with which the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is moving forward with regulations that have the potential to radically impact our economy, damage our energy sector, and make us more dependent on foreign energy sources. I support efforts like the TRAIN Act that will ensure we carefully consider the impact of these regulations on every sector of our economy. With an economy that is struggling to recover, it is essential that we move forward in a careful manner that guarantees we do not take regulatory actions that will push us back into a worse economic situation.

 

I will continue to support efforts like the TRAIN Act and similar measures when those measures are considered by the full Senate.

 

Sincerely,

Michael B. Enzi

United States Senator

OWS Statement of Purpose!

OWS Statement of Purpose -- 

#1- "We want freedom for all, without regards for identity, because we are all people, and because no other reason should be needed. However, this freedom has been largely taken from the people, and slowly made to trickle down, whenever we get angry."

 

OWS Statement of Purpose -- #2

"Money, it has been said, has taken over politics. In truth, we say, money has always been part of the capitalist political system. A system based on the existence of have and have not's, where inequality is inherent to the system, will inevitably lead to a situation where the haves find a way to rule, whether by the sword or by the dollar."

 

OWS Statement of Purpose -- #3

"We agree that we need to see election reform. However, the election reform proposed ignores the causes which allowed such a system to happen. Some will readily blame the federal reserve, but the political system has been beholden to political machinatio­ns of the wealthy well before its founding."

 

OWS Statement of Purpose -- #4

"We need to address the core facts: these corporatio­ns, even if they were unable to compete in the electoral arena, would still remain control of society. They would retain economic control, which would allow them to retain political control. Term limits would, again, not solve this, as many in the political class already leave politics to find themselves as part of the corporate elites."

 

 

OWS Statement of Purpose -- #5

"We need to retake the freedom that has been stolen from the people, altogether­."

 

OWS Statement of Purpose -- #6

"If you agree that freedom is the right to communicat­e, to live, to be, to go, to love, to do what you will without the imposition­s of others, then you might be one of us."

 

OWS Statement of Purpose -- #7

"If you agree that a person is entitled to the sweat of their brows, that being talented at management should not entitle others to act like overseers and overlords, that all workers should have the right to engage in decisions, democratic­ally, then you might be one of us."

 

OWS Statement of Purpose -- #8

"If you agree that freedom for some is not the same as freedom for all, and that freedom for all is the only true freedom, then you might be one of us."

 

OWS Statement of Purpose -- #9

"If you agree that power is not right, that life trumps property, then you might be one of us."

 

OWS Statement of Purpose -- #10

"If you agree that state and corporatio­n are merely two sides of the same oppressive power structure, if you realize how media distorts things to preserve it, how it pits the people against the people to remain in power, then you might be one of us."

 

OWS Statement of Purpose -- Conclusion

"And so we call on people to act

We call for protests to remain active in the cities. Those already there, to grow, to organize, to raise consciousness's, for those cities where there are no protests, for protests to organize and disrupt the system.

We call for workers to not only strike, but seize their workplaces collective­ly, and to organize them democratic­ally. We call for students and teachers to act together, to teach democracy, not merely the teachers to the students, but the students to the teachers. To seize the classrooms and free minds together.

We call for the unemployed to volunteer, to learn, to teach, to use what skills they have to support themselves as part of the revolting people as a community.

We call for the organizati­on of people's assemblies in every city, every public square, every township.

We call for the seizure and use of abandoned buildings, of abandoned land, of every property seized and abandoned by speculator­s, for the people, for every group that will organize them.

We call for a revolution of the mind as well as the body politic."

Snow 11-16 thru 11-17 so far!

Howdy, this is snow! We are in a lull as it is only lightly snowing right now, but we are in a winter storm watch, which means it's happening. Expect another 6-10 inches. It looks so pretty outside, so serene, peaceful and cold.

Email from Senator Michael Enzi about being a Wolf Hater and Murderer!

Mike Enzi, just another low-information senator against wolves! It's a shame our elected officials are so ignorant and uninformed about serious issues, but then again ranchers who are leading and pushing this meme are part of agribusiness in this state. Agribusiness represents less then 5% of the states GDP, but there are a disproportionate amount in our state legislature and senate, and are kowtowed too at every corner. Mike Enzi is no different, disregarding the facts in favor of fantasy. SHAME on Mike Enzi, John Barrasso and Cynthia Lummis! SHAME on them!

 

Here is a letter I received from Mikey about his stance on wolves. The states plan is to shoot them on sight, as a predator in 95% of the state. We only have about 300 in the entire state, so what the hell is wrong with these wolf slaughterers'?

Dear William:

 

I strongly support removing the gray wolf from the endangered species list.  Wolves are predators, and allowing wolf numbers to grow unchecked endangers our big game herds and the livelihoods of ranchers and livestock owners.  The Endangered Species Act (ESA) should be about making endangered and threatened wildlife populations healthy again.  I am disappointed that it has become a tool to perpetually protect a species that has already met recovery goals and now poses a threat to our state's wildlife and agricultural producers.

 

On April 15, President Obama signed legislation that included measures to delist the gray wolf in Montana and Idaho and parts of Washington, Oregon, and Utah.  Wyoming was not included because of how our state's management plan differentiates between wolves in Yellowstone National Park, their traditional range outside of Yellowstone, and the rest of the state.  Governor Mead subsequently worked to reach an agreement with the Fish and Wildlife Service on a plan to move forward.  I support the outline of that plan and commend Governor Mead's efforts. 

 

Wyoming must be able to manage wolves at the state level, and I will do all I can to help make that happen.  While I understand your concerns about Governor Mead's three zone plan for wolf management, wolves have met their recovery goals and keeping them on the endangered species list is not necessary.

 

Sincerely,

Michael B. Enzi

United States Senator

Sen. Johnny "TV" Barrasso on FOXNEWS Thursday, 8:00 pm MT w/Greta Van Susteren

Dear America,

Another E-Mail from Johnny "TV" Barrasso as this dude really likes being on TV. But if you have ever watched him, he is like a pre-programmed bot-sockpuppet, and he just regurgitates whatever has been pre-programmed into him by his masters, like the Koch Brothers. If there is ever a poster-child of why we should get stricter campaign financing rules, it's Johnny "TV" Barrasso. He comes from the smallest state, representing 1/600 of the American population, and even a smaller percentage have actually voted for him, yet he has received the largest campaign donations from big energy and oil. What is wrong with that picture? And he was elected in 2008 to fill in the remainder of the term of the previous senator who died, Sen. Thomas yet already holds a leadership position in the republican caucus in the senate. Why? His face being constantly on TV and Wyoming and the nations big energy and oil connections. The old quid pro quo. On top of all this, he appears to repeat himself a lot, always saying the people in Wyoming know what's better for Wyoming then Washington does, yet excepts millions from Washington lobbyist/corporations to do their bidding, and screw Wyoming. The man is a living contradiction.
