opposing Norton

 

 

PLEASE CROSS POST

 

Welcome to http://www.SayNoToNorton.org,

a Web site to make it easy for citizens to

tell their U.S. senators that they

oppose President-elect Bush’s selection of Gale

Norton as Secretary of the Interior.

Since the Senate must vote to approve the Norton

nomination, we urge citizens to make

their voices heard.

 

A protege of the notorious Reagan

Interior secretary, James Watt, Gale Norton’s

publicly stated positions make it clear

that she should not be trusted to head the agency

charged with protection of 500 million

acres of federal land, rescuing endangered species

and managing the national parks.

 

Norton is a close friend of oil

companies and other corporate interests, and she has

spent

her career advancing the causes of

polluters.

 

She publicly supports oil drilling in

the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge -- a critical

area for

caribou, polar bears and other creatures

and the crown jewel of America’s wildlife

sanctuaries. While one of Watt’s

deputies at the Interior Department, she helped

craft

the legal basis for the Reagan

administration’s efforts to open the refuge’s

coastal

plain to drilling.

 

As Colorado’s attorney general, she

allowed polluters to evade environmental fines

and did little after a gold mine’s

cyanide leaks killed all life in a

17-mile stretch of river. In another

case, she sat out the fight against a corporate power

plant that broke air pollution laws

19,000 times.

 

She advocates laws allowing polluters to

police themselves and believes that taxpayers

should pay polluters to comply with

environmental laws.

 

Ask your senators to say no to Norton

and oppose her nomination. Save our public lands

from extremist multinational oil and

mining companies, the timber industry and other

polluters.
