Subject: Thank Obama for mercury emission reduction in power plants? Are you kidding?

Here's a little letter I dashed off today to the Sierra Club in response to a newsletter.




I have been interested, and occasionally a member of the Sierra Club for decades.

However, how can you praise Obama for supposedly reducing the mercury from power plants (our incinerator fills feeder creeks with chemical soup and the fish in our lakes and streams are limited because of the mercury contained in them) when we have been mandated - let's use the word, FORCED here - to use mercury filled lightbulbs, for which hazmat containers are placed in some of the stores in which you purchase them, are cautioned NOT to break them in the home and handling them when they are broken is hazardous to your health.

In addition, they ARE going to landfills, and don't be stupid about that. You're head is up your corporate ass. They do NOT last as long as they are supposed to and unless you have garbage police inspecting every single trash can in the country, YOU and I LOSE. We lose American jobs to China, and we risk taking into our bodies, a toxic chemical. The green agenda is full of holes. It is a farce on a large scale. There was nothing wrong with incandescent lighting.

To be forced to use a toxic Chinese product in my country is against my Constitutional rights and against the very thing you "say" you fight against. So on this issue, you at the Sierra Club are hypocrites.

I am sending copies of this letter to others - individuals, media and groups - across the country.

What happens to me will happen to you. On this very subject today referring to DEP, I said I'd like to dress in a hazmat suit with oxygen, get a truckload of these lightbulbs and corral all the DEP employees from the top, down, and smash the bulbs into the floor while they were standing there, unprotected.

The madness has to stop.

We know now that global warming is a hoax. We know that we have a sustainable energy supply that we can develop that will last for more than 200 years. We can use our natural resources until real progress is made in hydrogen cell power. We know that wind farms are dangerous to birds - you are charged to protect them. We know that ethanol is dangerous to our internal combustion engines, when all we have available are unaffordable vehicles to buy. Where do the batteries in hybrid or electric cars go when they die? How can "we" afford the new ones. We know that genetically modified crops, livestock, and fish are dangerous to our health. We know the things you campaign for are mostly hot air because if you were interested enough, you'd be questioning what the US government is putting in vaccines and stopping the spraying of chemtrails.

You like mercury in your food, in your fish, in your home, in your body? Keep pushing these lightbulbs.
