Learn How You Can Help Stop Bush’s Attack On Our Environment
by Roy C. Hengerson

The Sierra Club has been keeping track of all the actions and policies of the Bush Administration that weaken environmental protections. However, many Americans are unaware that the President and his associates have slowed the clean up of our air and water, weakened the protections already in place for our national parks, national forests, and wildlife refuges, and allowed polluting industries to continue to harm public health.

The Sierra Club has endorsed Senator John Kerry for President, based on the combination of Kerry’s outstanding record on environmental issues throughout his long public service career and the Bush administration’s many anti-environmental actions. But we need to get the word out to all our members and citizens across the country about the critical environmental issues facing the United States in 2004.

Therefore, the Club is launching an ambitious program called “Engaging Our Members” (EOM) to hold conversations about Bush administration policies affecting public health and the environment and what we can do about it. There will be a training session to be held on Saturday July 17 at chapter ConsCom in Columbia, Missouri on holding these informal dialogues with family, friends, and associates.

Please contact Roy Hengerson at (573)635-8066 or roy.hengerson@sierraclub.org if you are interested in attending this training. We can make a tremendous difference in the 2004 election if we engage our members to learn about important environmental issues and how they can participate more fully in the election..
