Re: Club message change in response to national crisis
In response to the attacks on America, we are shifting our communications strategy for the immediate future. We have taken all of our ads off the air; halted our phone banks; removed any material from the web that people could perceive as anti-Bush, and are taking other steps to prevent the Sierra Club from being perceived as controversial during this crisis.
We will re-evaluate as the national climate shifts.
For now, we are going to stop aggressively pushing our agenda and will cease bashing President Bush. We strongly need to avoid any perceptions that we are being disrespectful to President Bush. Now is a time for rallying together as a nation; the public will judge very harshly any groups whom they view as violating this need for unity.
If you are asked about what this terrorism does to the Sierra Club's agenda, please respond simply by saying that right now the public needs to focus on comforting each other and strengthening our national security to deal with the crisis at hand.
When debate on other issues resumes, we will rejoin those debates.

| Eco-terrorism? | Russ-Ale
Oct 26, 2001 7:53 AM | | Give me a break. Eco-terrorism to me means clear cutting, strip mining, ranching, pollution, ect. The only thing I have against the Sierra Club is the fact that they don't seem to appreciate singletrack. Business, governments and consumers are the real eco-terrorists, generally speaking of course. |

Oct 26, 2001 2:07 PM | | "1. Ask yourself who were the bulk of the protestors who have been arrested for extreme vandalism during the various World Trade Conferences? Almost without exception, they've been eco-freaks!
2. Who has refused to let the United States drill for oil in our own country, and instead, forced us to rely on oil imported from the US-hating Middle East? You got it. In fact, the Sierra Club has spear-headed this effort over the last decades.
3. Consider the fact that environmentalists have completely and utterly refused to allow the US to use cheap and safe nuclear power plants reduce our dependence on foreign oil. France gets over 90 percent of its power from nuclear with no problems whatsoever.
4. Right now, the nation is going through an economic slump, one that affects almost everyone. One that - without some common sense - could push the country into an actual depression.
Absolutely astounding! The Sierra Club - in actual fact - is using the September 11 attack to hide behind, in the guise of trying to help in a time of public unrest.
Have you watched any of the television showing the people who are protesting any military retaliation by the US? The very same groups who set fires in Seattle, spiked trees in logging country and vandalized buildings at World Trade meetings are the ones who are blocking the streets and smashing windows.
And make no doubt about it, these people are the heart and soul of the radical environmental movement.
The suits - the leaders in the front offices - the ones who distribute all those nice press releases from the Sierra Club headquarters, know that these misfits are the spark plugs of their movement.
They deny any attachment to them.
And support them in the dark.
They decry violence.
And urge the malcontents to turn the streets into chaos.
They claim to back the country when it's desperately needed.
And, at the same time, kick the country in the groin.
These, then, are the hidden terrorists. They don't have their heads wrapped in rags, or sport scraggly long beards, or jostle rifles in the air while chanting death to the US, but they are terrorists nonetheless.
It's long past the time we quit ignoring this quiet, legal, sneaky, skulking enemy, hiding under the cloak of environmentalism."
You purchased a mountain bike Russ-ale. So I guess in your own words you are a terrorist. I think you better trade in your knobbies for some road tires. You discriminate to much against those you support. Russ you must of been real proud to see the Twin Towers fall down on 9-11-01 since it stands for everything your against. Happy consuming Russ, generally speaking of course. |

Oct 26, 2001 2:28 PM | | The Sierra Club makes a living off of lying, deceiving, falsifying claims, name calling, and exaggeration. But you already knew that. Are you in the Sierra Club DeRanger? |
