Recall the Mad Cowboy
The Bush administration's lack of attention to meat safety regulations has left
the door wide open for mad cow disease to enter this country, and several cows
have potentially been tainted by the disease. Meat is being recalled in 13
states and over 100 cows have been destroyed.
President Bush has benefited from his close ties to the meat industry. The livestock industry gave him over $500,000 during his first election campaign, and has chipped in another $250,000 this election cycle. Meat processing companies dumped over $75,000 into the Bush campaign in 2000, and have followed that with another $40,000 this cycle. [This doesn't include donations from individuals in the meat industry as well as donations given in the names of employees who might not have donated had their employers not coerced them to allow the donation in their names. -v] [Emphasis added. -v]
On several occasions since Bush took office, Congressional Democrats introduced provisions demanding the increased inspection of meat, only to have them shot down by their conservative counterparts. As you know, we think there is something else that needs to be recalled along with American meat, so we're asking you to help us Recall the Mad Cowboy.
We're starting a new campaign to Recall the Mad Cowboy. Please go to our Bush
Recall website (www.bushrecall.org) and sign the new petition, as well as forward this along to all of your friends. At the website, you can find background information about our mad cowboy on the Daily Reality Check column.
We also thought you might enjoy the fact that right-wing strategist Paul Weyrich
has targeted BushRecall.org's treasurer and co-founder Mike Lux as someone to
"look out for." We couldn't be more proud.
Mr. Weyrich will be dismayed to learn that the BushRecall.org website is looking
to expand so that we may bring you more in-depth information on this, and many
other issues we know are important to you.
Help us raise money to make right-wingers like Weyrich even more mad, money that will help us organize more of the campaigns and projects like the ones you've already seen -- The Lord of the Right Wing video and the Daily Reality Check column.
Please contribute to BushRecall.org, a project of the Fair and Balanced PAC.
