Still no uprising re: Kempthorne's nomination?

Am I the only person who is worried about Kempthorne's nomination for Secretary of Interior? I'm not seeing any editorials or letters to the editor in my region, nor does it seem to be much of a topic of conversation around here. It is frightening to think of the damage that he will be capable of doing in this position that will take generations to undo (if it would even be possible!).

As I've mentioned previously elsewhere (Whispers of Kempthorne, Why Not Shouting? and What Is A "Westerner"?), I question whether Kempthorne is truly the right person for the job, or was he selected for his schmoozing talents?

If it isn't too late to contact your senator and express your concerns, visit Wilderness Home for a quick way to write a letter or go to Congress.org and write a letter like I did.

I have absolutely no hope that Idaho's senators would pay any attention, but if you are an Idahoan, at least go through the motions. Otherwise, just pass this on to your friends in other states... maybe THEIR senators would listen to them!

I would also like to remind folks to:

"Go to www.freemarketduck.com and order their recent book, "BOISE'S WATERGATE: University Place and All the Governor's Men". It details (in lurid detail) the true high crimes & misdeameanors of the Kempthorne Administration."

America stood up and spoke out against Harriet Meyers and the port fiasco... if we can educate America about Kempthorne, then maybe folks will stand up again. If we DON'T speak up, then Bush will get away with yet another assault against our citizens because people will just assume that (1) Bush really DOES know what he's doing and (2) a good ol' boy from Idaho will protect our environment cuz he's a "westurn'r". If we can spread the amber alert for Penny Brown across the country in 24 hours, then SURELY we can send out an alert for our air and water??
