This is from http://www.circleoflifefoundation.org/=20 Your help is needed to challenge two particularly controversial nominations to President-elect Bush's cabinet, the nominations of Senator John Ashcroft to serve as Attorney General and Gale Norton to serve as Secretary of the Interior. Please add your voice to this special e-mail campaign! Click here to urge your Senators to join the Block Ashcroft Campaign. http://www.workingforchange.com/activism/action.cfm?itemid=3D10494 Click here to urge your Senators to join the Block Norton Campaign. http://www.workingforchange.com/activism/action.cfm?itemid=3D10495 (If these do not appear as links, copy & paste to browser) The campaign to reject the Ashcroft and Norton nominations is this year's first critical fight for justice and the environment. Throughout the 2000 election, candidate Bush promised to be a "uniter" for our country, not a "divider." His nomination of Senator Ashcroft - one of the right wing's leading = lights - to serve as Attorney General exposes Bush's obligation to the fundamentalist activists who propelled him to the Republican nomination. His nomination of Gale Norton - who the League of Conservation Voters = calls a "throwback to the James Watt era - one of the darkest periods of natural resource exploitation" - exposes Bush's obligations to the mining, = grazing, tree-cutting and drilling industries that seek unfettered access to public lands. There is strength in numbers! So once you take action, please forward this e-mail to friends and associates so they can speak out too. Confirmation hearings are expected to be completed soon, so time is of the essence. = Your support is greatly appreciated!
