52,907 to go. Contribute now!

Joseph,

We've had a huge response from Public Citizen supporters to our $300,000 Matching Gift Campaign. We're now just $52,907 short of the $300,000 goal!

Join our effort right now. Your immediate and generous support can help put us over the top. Contribute today and your donation will be matched dollar-for-dollar by a generous Public Citizen supporter, doubling the impact of your gift.

In case you need any more motivation to give to our Matching Gift Campaign, you won't believe what the president of the Texas Alliance of Energy Producers - an association which describes its "purpose" as "protecting the oil and gas industry" and making it "more profitable" - said about our campaign to hold BP executives accountable for the worst environmental disaster in our nation's history.

In a recent letter to the San Angelo Standard-Times, the president of the Alliance actually described Public Citizen as a "shark" and BP as our "victim."

He went on to say that it is "outrageous" that "environmental zealots" are calling for the criminal prosecution of "unsuspecting corporate executives." As if the executives who run a company that has paid more than $700 million for violating environmental and safety rules didn't have full notice of their reckless mismanagement!(And maybe B.P. forgot how G.M. created a campaign to destroy the Electric Trains in order to produce Oil and Gas burning Cars and Bussess? http://www.brasschecktv.com:80/page/549.html


I'm not surprised an executive of an industry lobby group is attacking us for standing up to corporate power. It's what he's paid to do.

You can be certain that Public Citizen will not back down in the face of these attacks. As long as you're standing with us, Public Citizen will continue to hold corporations that abuse their power accountable for their actions. That's what we do.

Contribute today and your donation will be matched dollar-for-dollar by a generous Public Citizen supporter, doubling the impact of your gift.

Your activism and financial support is an inspiration to me and my staff. I hope I can continue to count on your support.

Please contribute what you can to our Matching Gift Campaign today.

Thank you.

Robert Weissman, President

About Joseph Raglione
Hi! I am the executive director of the World Humanitarian Peace and Ecology Movement. I began as an environmental activist in 1969 and basically, never stopped! I Graduated College in Social Science and registered as a non-profit corporation in 1988 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. I am one of a very few non-profit and generic freedom loving journalists left on Earth, and I continue today to study and to understand the problems connected with human activity on this Planet. My affiliates include: GreenPeace, the Nature Conservancy, the Bio-diversity organization, the Sierra Club, the David Suzuky foundation, the WWF, Amnesty International, World Vision, the IUF organization; as well as the wonderful and independant N.A.S.A. scientists studying our Planet's weather systems. Of course NASA also studies the mysteries of the Eternal Universe with satelite generated images and, over the years, have generously allowed me and thousands of our world scientists to study over their shoulder's via the Internet.
In spite of some past U.S. government repression, NASA continues to provide solid evidence of global warming.
NASA has provided me with pictorial evidence of Rainforest deforestation within: Jakarta, Peru, Africa, Brazil and even in Western Canada!
The motivation for such destruction continues to be (often illegally) for: lumber, for bio-fuels, and for Cattle ranching. Today, the perceived future profits for Palm Oil and for Bio-Fuels are prime motivators for environmental destruction. Small crop farming also contributes but that may be changing as farmers learn to protect the Rain-Forest.
With NASA imaging, there is proof that large city heat traps are helping global warming, and with (infrared images)there is proof that several hundred million gas burning vehicles (including ship and airplanes) presently create a hugh quantity of pollution tracks across both Oceans and Sky.
With oil, gas, Coal and Bio-Fuel heated buildings around the world creating C02 emissions, and with Methane release from all animal species...giant Ozone holes have been created and continue to exist above the North and South Poles. Ozone holes allow the Sun to radiate the Ice Caps and to accelerate the Ice melt, which releases more Methane into the atmosphere, which continues to thin out the Ozone. A vicious circle created by human need and also, unhappily, by human greed!
I have been asked to write to the Prime Minister of Japan to ask him to stop the murderous assault on endangered Whales. Every year, thousands of Whales are killed in the Antarctic with GreenPeace volunteers placing themselves between the Whales and the grenade tipped harpoons, and peope like myself, (I did not forget this is my "Bio," putting my old neck on the line attempting to change the situation by writing thousands if not millions of words!
Are words dangerous?
Over three hundred journalists were killed within the last ten years. You tell me if words are dangerous!
As I write these words, the desperate and starving in Darfur are waiting for rescue. I motivated a few kind hearted California Actors to visit the region and to report back. They did! They then created the Darfur coalition and they continue to fight to save the innocent victims trapped in tents in the desert of the Sudan. Darfuri's were attacked and moved from their homes because somebody believes there is Oil under the Sudan desert.
As I write this, a few sick and desperate people in Iraq are wrapping bombs around themselves in order to die in the name of God, and the list of humanitarian disasters continues. I also contribute information to the Reuter's news service. It is time for a change. Please help make it happen!
