Thank you for posting this Aidenag.
When I clicked on the second link you posted, it described CREA as "anti-environmentalist." So which is it? And did the organization ever do ANYTHING that could be considered "environmental?" Maybe feathering her nest was what she and her cohorts considered was "environmental." After all, she got donations from Indian tribes at $50,000 a whack.
Meanwhile, the trail gets ever closer to the White House.

Just wait till they start looking at what has been done to the "EPA" when Bush is gone!!! It is very scary........don't know if they will be able to recover from a lot of the damage that has been done by 7 years of uncontrolled pollution by the "Environmental Polluters Association".
