Bush to Tout His Environmental Policies

By WILL LESTER


CRAWFORD, Texas (AP) -- President Bush is rallying support for his environmental policies and raising campaign money during his monthlong vacation, dealing with both issues on a trip Monday.

Bush planned first to survey a fire-ravaged community in southern Arizona and press the Senate to approve administration initiatives aimed at preventing catastrophic wildfires.

From there, we was to travel to Colorado to headline a $2,000-per-person fund raiser - his 11th event for his 2004 re-election campaign this year. He already has raised about $40 million.

The president has scheduled three other trips in August with environmental themes - another on his "Healthy Forest Initiative" in Oregon, one on preserving national parks in California and one on salmon habitat in Washington state.

Democrats held a 2-1 advantage over Bush when people were asked in a recent poll who they trust to do a better job on the issue. (snip/...)

4. Found photos of him, hard at work, healing the planet









He really cares, so don't say that! You can just feel his sincerity.
He's working night and day to make our world a better place.

What nation ever had a sweeter leader?
:silly:

5. Interesting!
This item at the bottom of the page delivers a wry message:

(snip) Bush narrowly won Arizona in 2000, and wants to keep its 10 electoral votes in his column.

9. As Govenor Dean says about bush and his "environmental
policies..

" "Today, we have a Republican president who seeks to reverse decades of responsible environmental policy. We have a president who seems to regard public resources as gifts to be handed out to special interests. We can take America back from those who care more about returning a favor to a friend than about creating a sensible environmental or energy policy. And once we do, we can take America forward--and the world with us."
