Kock Bros. attack ESA and wildlife to push environmental ruin for profit...

FYI (merely for those who might be interested)

The brothers' funded AFP (CA) branch is holding a misinformation conference in Salt Lake City, UT next month to promote the gutting of the Endangered Species Act and other environmental regulation so they can more easily destroy and/or privatize our public lands with impunity and for their profit.

They are attacking from every angle, as evidenced in their "issues" pages at the link. They will not stop until they own it all, apparently... or unless we find a way to stop them. Consider that they have no respect to the "commons" that belong to all citizens and they intend to foist their will upon us by "owning" our alleged representatives. The Endangered Species Act requires investigation into how development projects will impact wildlife (plants and animals). The issue with wolves is meant to fire up the wolf-hating, government-hating rednecks to help fire up their base of uninformed individuals.

Don't know what the answers are but WE need to change this program that is set to take even more from us under our noses and behind closed doors.
