Bush and company need to be impeached and tried for their war crimes so we can at least save what little of this planet we have left. This just goes to show you how little Bush cares about anything other than money and being a patsy for the rich and powerful. He will go to any lengths to protect the interests of the corrupt corporations he has so willingly obliged throughout his tenure as president. Personally, I'm counting the days until we are be Bush-free and let's hope he and his repulsive family will simply crawl back into the darkness where they came from and where they belong.

with his continuous gutting of all that is good about this country, bush and his henchmen exemplify a species gone wrong and do make me think of the bush family as a rabid permutation of the human race. if there is such a thing as a human soul, george w is an example of a person born without one. i am shocked but not surprised at his proposed actions against endangered species in favor of corporate power. pelosi, it's time to put impeachment on the table before gw gets away with all his criminal actions and retires, laughing all the way to the bank.

...he will have seemed to have accomplished nothing, because his entire first(!?) four years will be spent hitting the "undo" button approx. 10,356 times.

And that will be just for the MAJOR screwups of the Bush administration. There's probably ten times that number of minor screwups that will need attention too...but you have to fix the spurting arteries before you bandage the surface lacerations...

Seriously, I'm hard-pressed to come up with more than a small handful of things that the bush junta got RIGHT in 8 years...and even those were half-measures of what was possible.

The problem here, with this situation, is that IF the bush cabal can get the regulation implemented within a short time, he'll have time to fire all those scientists...and getting them back will not be easy, after the diaspora.

Imagine that...the "Bush Diaspora" ... a scattering to the four winds of all competent career government employees...

the endangered species which is the first to be done away with is this asstard and his fellow criminals.
Unfortunately, we human Americans do not truly have any power to force these bastards to answer for their crimes as, they OWN the strings which are pulled.

Peace, the truth, the US Constitution, science, the working person, our privacy, international law, the environment.
Is there ANYTHING good that the Bush and Cheney do not absolutely and passionately feel hatred towards, or is there anything good they don't try to destroy completely??

We have all decried for years what BushCo has done to the Constitution, the peace we knew, our privacy, but in the end, it is only WE THE PEOPLE who can either stop him or work around him. Well, thanks to Pelosi and Reid, stopping him is not an option, so we better learn to work around him. This means taking back the authorities he takes away by taking them on at the state level. It is called active sustainability and it demands a rethinking of how we govern ourselves.

Thomas Jefferson had it right all along! We need to establish what are essentially independent republic-states who make laws that recognize the rights of all living things to co-exist and to protect our planet. If enough states are willing to follow CA's lead and challenge Bush environmental and Constitutional assaults by making laws that exceed federal controls or do not recognize those controls within their jurisdictions, we might stand a chance of creating real, lasting democracy in this nation.

For this action that he is taking, start local actions that set up endangered species protection laws within your home communities and counties and states. Check out

www.celdf.org - Center for Environmental Legal Defense Fund

on how to do this. Then work to protect the animals and nature in your areas from development and claims of eminent domain by local bought-and-paid-for politicians. Vote in this November people to Congress who can help support these local, sustainable efforts, vote in city councils who understand sustainability and self-governance issues, and offer the displaced scientists homes and jobs within your new local authorities to do what they do best - protect science and nature.

In short, devolve federal authority. It is what the Republicans claim they want, so let them have it.

If they want to gut Federal laws, put in place local ones that you can control to replace them.

If they want to violate international laws, then let the international community deal with them as the war criminals they are, and demand that the next president surrender them to the World Court on January 21, 2009!

Make your governors call a new Constitutional Convention, with or without the Congress, as they are allowed to do under our current Constitution, and make sure that the new Constitution is not subject to the whims of corporations and political hacks like Bush, Cheney, and McCain et al..

In short, TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOURSELVES, YOUR CHILDREN, ALL LIFE IN YOUR COMMUNITIES AND NATURE, AND THE FUTURE!

IT IS TIME TO ACT!

IT IS TIME TO WORK AROUND THIS ADMINISTRATION AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AS A WHOLE!

IT IS TIME TO TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY!

Dirk "Diggler" Kempthorne, will see to it The Endangered Species Act is gutted. He's the former governor of Idaho -- a place where they never met an endangered species that they didn't want to kill, kill, kill.

We can't get rid of these nutjobs soon enough. The damage they have done (and continue to do) is astounding.

I wonder how the "Sportsmen For Bush" feel about him gutting environmental laws.

Would it be too politically incorrect to wish that Bush and Ms. Not Now, I'm On Vacation Rice would magically appear at the top of the endangered species list?

This is all part and parcel of the NorthAmerican Security & Prosperity Agreement and the numerous large corporate CEO led committees.
As in Canada our respective Governments show only disdain for it's citizens and rule of law,prefering instead to foment plutocratic elitist rule, born directly from Anglo/American and German/Franco self interests.
