Pombo the Clown tries to ruin Endangered Species Act
www.wilderness-sportsman.com



"Washington -- House Resources Committee Chairman Richard Pombo of Tracy introduced new legislation Monday to rewrite the Endangered Species Act that critics say could make it more difficult to list species as endangered and to set aside land to help them recover.

But the Republican lawmaker, a rancher and longtime property rights activist, said his proposal was intended to fix a law that had helped only 10 of about 1,300 species recover since it was signed by President Richard Nixon three decades ago. "

1. oh yeah, they're "fixing" the law. That was 10 too many.
Clean Drinking Water Act anyone - if you act today we'll even throw in some a free gift, comes in new mercury, lead, or arsenic flavors.
