| Invasive Species – The #1 Guy
May 12, 2003 By Jim Beers Invasive Species, Who To Contact I apologize for not mentioning the single most influential person to contact when I recently wrote Update # 8 recommending action. Please consider writing the President of the United States. The President, his White House advisers and his Cabinet Secretaries are giving tacit approval to Federal Invasive Species authority at this time. Whether it is political advisors imagining it will generate votes (it won't) or Secretaries taking advice from bureaucrats seeking money and power or appointees trying to get along with environmental/animal rights activists, they are ultimately responsive to the President and to you when you make your views known. They are supposed to be the ones who supervise the bureaucrats, so for the few bureaucrats who recognize that fact, their views are important. Write them and speak to them when they travel near your homes. For the next 18 months at least, we can rightly expect them to be responsive to voters. |
