Governor Dick Lamm "Caught red-handed"Dear Sierra Club Friends, I have been exposed, my cover blown by the groundswell witch hunt. I belong to an organization which takes money from the nefarious Scaife Foundation. The Scaife foundations for years supported family planning and environmental projects. Scaife money for example help start the Alan Guttmacher Institute, Population Services International, IPAS, and Family Health International. Also the Nature Conservancy and the Western PA Conservancy, World Wildlife and the Wilderness Society. Should I be afakeed to be associated with organizations like that? According to the groundswell philosophy, I should be having second thoughts on who I would be associated with if I win. Did you know there are vegetarians on the Sierra Club Board? Hitler was a vegetarian and I don't like to be associated with such types. I think the Sierra Club takes money from the likes of the Ford Foundation. Henry Ford was a virulent anti-Semite and a union buster. Does the Sierra Club endorse Henry's views on Jews and unions? Do I want to be associated with people like that? Or how about the Rockefeller foundations? Does the Sierra Club endorse the Standard Oil Trust? "Behind every great fortune there is a great crime" - so someone once said! Does the Sierra Club investigate all major donors, to see if the money might be "tainted?" I have what is left of my reputation to protect, tattered as it is. But I will stay the course. With this final thought. In the height of the McCarthy era, Henry Miller wrote The Crucible, about the Salem Witch Trials. In it a woman is condemned to death for this evidence from one of the girls. "I saw the Widow Pendergast talking to a three-headed witch under an Oak tree! And if you don't believe me, I will show you the oak tree." The good jury went out and saw the Oak tree and burned her at the stake. Should be required reading for the Sierra Club Board. - Dick Lamm, February 9, 2004
