[GreenYes] Political Wall of Shame

[Ann Schneider <schneiderann@juno.com>]

Hi:

I am Co-Chairing an Election Reform event in San Franicsco on May 19 and
as part of the program we will be building a "Wall of Shame" of
anti-environmental actions by the current administration (also anti
community and people too).  The designer of the Wall has listed a number
of actions and is looking for anything she may have missed.

Feel free to forward any other ideas to me and I will send to her.  Or
email directly to her.  And thanks in advance for your ideas.

Hello all!

For the West coast Voter Right's march I am preparing a "Wall of Shame" 
listing the many Shrub "accomplishments" to date.  Using the wonderful 
archives at We Will Not Forget and Bush Watch I have come up with a
healthy 
number of entries, but would like members here to email me privately with
any 
that I may have missed.  Please send me any dubious achievements and, if 
possible, a link to an online article that covers them.


Here's what I have so far:

Kyoto
Cut training for dislocated workers
Cut funding for Wetlands Reserve Program
Cur childcare for low-income families
International abortion gag rule
Prescription contraceptives for federal employees

I'm particulary interested in finding articles that refer to the closing
of 
the White House Council on Environmental Quality, the appointment of Kay 
Coles James to Office of Personnel Management, and the arsenic issue.

Thanks for your help!
