I paid one yearly until they sued to stop salmon habitat restoration in the
Pacific NW (which I used to be involved with), purely for political points.
I wrote a letter asking for my money back, not that I expected it. Of course
it was tossed out before it wasted too much time for the fish & wildlife
agencies that were doing the work.

The enviro groups are latching onto the latest money maker for them. I have
no respect for them. They lie, they misrepresent and work to confuse the
issues, all for their monetary benefit.
