84. Opposition is forming in the Senate. In the opening post I cite a letter |
|
to Pombo by Diane Feinstein, asking him to remove his rider. (Of course he wouldn't.) A Montana senator is also said to be opposed. But all too many don't seem to be aware of this issue at all, or perhaps they either favor it or don't care enough to buck the GOP pressure.
We have to change that. Media blast and Congress blast. Get the word out about what is at stake. As is shown in one of the articles upthread, the lack of mineral royalties means that the Pombo amendment would actually COST THE AMERICAN TAXPAYERS enormous sums in order to give away their national lands. So you give it away to the greedy and lose royalty revenues for it too. The GOP way.
