Green Groups Are Campaign Contributors Too

By Paul Chesser on 10.26.10 @ 4:57PM

Bored with dazzling production values and in-your-face political commentary? Then let this little video (TV production from the 60s; hairstyles from the 80s; embedding not allowed) created by the League of Women Voters in Cupertino & Sunnyvale, Calif., soothe your nerves. Part of a series that explores the pros and cons of all the statewide propositions, and painstakingly objective, it does a decent job explaining how Proposition 23 would negate the state’s global warming law. One interesting takeaway: they say oil companies have contributed $3 million in support of the measure, but environmentalists and Green technology companies have donated $2 million in opposition. You never hear about that second factoid in the media.

Global Warming, California, Climate Change

The debacle of this president’s administration is both a cause and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our culture.
