Thank you so much for this article. I had begun to have real doubts about the Sierra Club when I kept getting requests to "thank president Obama" for various things he had done to "support" the environment from The Sierra Club,NRDC, etc. In fact I wrote to the Sierra Club expressing my surprise (and doubts)about what was going on with that. I no longer feel that any of our so-called environmental activist groups are clean.... We have all been sold out. It is a pity when the groups who have put so much energy into bringing "truth" to the public eye feel that in order to continue to do their work they must accept "a little trade off" with the very perpetrators they have been fighting! They should know better - that their supporters are the very folks who are actually seeking change and justice and in many ways are truly putting their lives on the line for it. In my opinion this is what is wrong with our country, our economy, our policies in general. A little wrong for the "good of all".... I call it selling out.
