Let them know you share their concern about protecting Alaska’s wolves.
| 1 |
Please help save Alaska’s wolves by doing these two things:
| 2 |
2. RUSH a special donation to help our Alaska allies overturn this odious new law.
| 3 |
Remember, for this emergency effort to succeed, we must act immediately.
| 2 |
In May the Alaska legislature voted to reinstate same-day airborne wolf killing.
| 2 |
So, please take out your pen right now and sign your absentee ballot.
| 3 |
Thank you for your strong support.
| 1 |
Sincerely, Rodger Schlickeisen President

P.S.: Defenders needs your help to raise $100,000 in emergency funds to help ensure that the coalition’s Emergency Effort to Save Alaska’s Wolves succeeds.
| 3 |
Time is so short.

Look closely at this photo, and you’ll see a wolf ... running.
| 3 |
But they did, overriding Governor Tony Knowles’ veto — and ignoring the will of the majority of Alaska’s citizens.
| 2 |
Unfortunately, this practice will begin after the first snow ... this September ... when wolves will be “can’t-miss” targets against Alaska’s snowy terrain.

3. For all that is wrong with Detroit -- and that's nearly everything -- you'd be astonished by the pride that Detroiters have for their city.

They lack the means to build her back to her former glory, but she won't be abandoned.
| 2 |
For all of those who are trapped there by their circumstances, there are just as many who insist that they wouldn't live anywhere else.
| 2 |
Thank you for the opportunity to see post-BushCo era Detroit through the prism of your vision.
| 1 |
I've never been there, but ever since that mad, possessed American History Professor I had, I've been haunted by Detroit.
| 2 |
No, even before that -- The Dollmaker has often been called 'America's least pretentious masterpiece'.

(Joyce Carol Oates in the NYTBR) When folks like Gertie Nevels, and Levon Helm and John Hiatt and my favorite, John Henry, left the mountains to go wrestle with the Industrial leviathan in Detroit, they were in it to the death.
| 2 |
Detroit won't be the death of the courage of those early Detroit pioneers; it looks like Nature will prevail after all.

Everybody wins.

I love what you are doing.

Is this the monument left behind for the world to witness, by Corporatism, Capitalism?
| 2 |
Is this the proof that all countries deserve democracy and its inevitable cancers, corporatism and capitalism?
| 2 |
We die in war to bring this to other countries?
| 2 |
In a class-less society?

This is the final phase, the crowning glory of America's greatness?
| 2 |
Does this show our system's superiority over the commies in China?
| 2 |
The old Soviet Guard?
| 3 |
Europe's follies?

Have we really built a "Great Society" or is that all propaganda -- Bull Shiite to hush free thought, eyes to the flag, while our pockets and resources were raided by shysters, spin-meisters, schmucks and banksters?
| 2 |
"Great Society"
| 1 |
Did we build sane, sustainable, survival shelter homes?
| 0 |
Can any of what we built be recovered, restored, renovated, into useful shelter?
| 2 |
Did the tools of production really get sold, to the shareholders benefit, leaving the worker without means to defend himself?
| 2 |
So how can you buy an actual home for $100?
| 2 |
Have the great fortunes earned in trust as "American" for American investment here in America, really migrated to the Beijing, Shanghai, and Hang-Seng markets, converted to safer "Yuan" and invested in China's wealth?
| 2 |
"American"
| 0 |
Did this really happen to American patriots?
| 2 |
Do you still love democracy, corporatism, capitalism and all it has done for you?
| 2 |
Are you really "Free"?
| 3 |
Is Conscription just around the corner, to serve Halliburton(Dubai) in attaining pipeline clearance through Afghanistan, to Turkmenistan and the oil field there?
| 2 |
That's literally cheaper than dirt.
| 2 |
"Middle East"
| 0 |
Are we just mercenaries for big oil, not liberators spreading "Freedom"?
| 2 |
"Freedom"
| 1 |
Is this really just flag-waving propaganda?
| 2 |
What, exactly did we win in Iraq?
| 2 |
Cheaper Oil?
| 1 |
I think not!
| 2 |
Gratitude of a Free nation?
| 3 |
The possibilities of this were fascinating.

I think not!

Why has the "Rust Belt" come into being?
| 2 |
"Rust Belt"
| 0 |
What were we doing?
| 2 |
Where did the great society for all, the one we were told we were building go?
| 2 |
Japan?
| 2 |
China?
| 2 |
To the Uber-Rich?
| 2 |
As we sink into our own ruins, the dark horse rides on America!

The dark horse rides on!

You gotta be kidding me!

Earth to Jessica: Democrats caused this.

They have the unmidas touch.

Every decaying city in America has D's firmly in control, and has forever.

I had visions of hipsters from coast to coast converging in Detroit, building a new city on rock&roll.

When you said you were naive, you weren't kidding.

Nope, I wasn't kidding.
| 2 |
Put it in writing, didn't I?
| 3 |
Lumpy, I'm not a Democrat and I don't much approve of the Democratic Party.
| 0 |
Just so we're clear on that.
| 3 |
I'm not particularly interested in whose fault this mess is; rather, I choose to focus on how we're going to clean it up.
| 3 |
That's where the green movement comes in, and when I say "green" I'm talking plants not politics.

If you've got some fancy new technology at Boeing that can do more for people's health and happiness (and for less cost) than a victory garden can do, please let me know.

Last I checked, greed, sloth, hubris and waste were all pretty universally human traits, and I see no halos around either Libertarians, Dems or even anarchically green-at-heart.
| 2 |
I agree -- Democrats, like country music, have disappointed me too many times in the past for me to keep on listening.
| 0 |
But here's the thing -- frogs are mutating due to the planet trying to kill itself.
| 2 |
Salmon have forgot how to screw.

Otters in post-Valdez Alaska are clawing their own petro-chemical-burned eyes out in pain.

The patient is earth, and it's not getting better.

You want to yell at which insurance company fucked up, or change a bedpan, so to speak?
| 2 |
During times of crisis (which this is), the ones who will create positive change are those who accept the hand they are dealt and act.
| 2 |
The ones who are educated and informed and attached to delegating moral judgements will be perfectly equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.
| 0 |
I saw community gardens, art parks, a grassroots transformation of a city.

Or ask my Paiute grandfather.

*Or even Friend Salmon, who still haunts my dreams and tells me not to let us blow each other's asses off the earth until we clean up the mess we have made.
| 2 |
*That was for Lumpy.

Nobody gets laughed at alone in my presence.
