Sierra Club should focus its energy on the root cause, the effort to starve state and local funding and reduce the quality of all government services in order to privatize these services. We're in hard times now. Lets work to do what's best in the long term and not get distracted by the current pain. <br /><br />As a long-standing Sierra Club member, I will not support piecemeal, ineffective solutions. There is enough win-lose game playing at all levels of government.Walter Ratcliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06236618275444432216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087864690835202543.post-13154879108987116472009-12-16T00:08:38.615-08:002009-12-16T00:08:38.615-08:00Where have I heard this before?
