Articles about the Sierra Club election
A really ugly shade of green
By john Leo, U.S. News and World Report, March 5, 2004
"Dick Lamm, public-policy gadfly and former Democratic governor of Colorado, is being denounced these days as a right-wing extremist, a neo-Nazi, and a racist. "In all my years of public life, nobody has ever talked that way about me," he said. His offense is that he is one of three men running for the Sierra Club board of directors on a platform of limiting immigration to protect the environment. In response, the leadership of the club and its allies have been playing the race card with berserk ferocity.
[Sierra Club Director Carl] Pope has shamelessly tried to connect Lamm, Morris, and Pimentel to the most racist anti-immigration people. He told the New York Times: 'If somebody who isn't a Nazi is put on the ballot by the American Nazi party,' it can be hard to distinguish the views of the candidates from those of the backers. Good grief. Next we'll be hearing that FDR was a commie because Stalin fought on his side during World War II."

By The Christian Science Monitor, April 11, 2004
"Mr. Lamm's rationale isn't 'anti-immigrant,' as some claim. Rather, it
takes the high road by calling on the nation's oldest conservation group
to persuade the federal government to make the US a model in controlling
US population growth, and thus helping protect the environment."
