The Sierra Club under siege by racist right wingers

"While the American right wing has for the most part been content to attack liberal organizations by challenging them politically and in the courts, as well as by undermining their ability to raise funds, there have been relatively few examples of any attempts to destroy those organizations from within.
That is no longer the case. The Sierra Club, the nation's leading environmental organization, is facing the very real prospect of being destroyed by a hostile takeover by right-wing operatives.
As I've reported previously, a trio of anti-immigrant candidates currently seeks election to the club's national board. None of the three is a club member, but all three are nationally prominent names with self-evident mainstream credentials. All three, however, are running under the banner of a faction calling itself "SUSPS," formerly Sierrans for U.S. Population Stabilization, which is essentially a front organization for anti-immigrant groups with extensive ties to white nationalist and supremacist organizations and activities."

membership until they GET RID OF THESE FUCKERS ONCE AND FOR ALL! And they've done the same thing to AARP; my mom's been a member for years, but she tore up her membership card and sent it back after they supported some really right-wing policies, and she has no intention of renewing until they're gone.

Obviously, the fascist repigs aren't content with using their power to try to clamp down on what they see as "liberal" groups, now they have to destroy those groups from within and are probably cackling with glee while they're doing it. We cannot let them get away with it anymore.

And what really frightens me is that they're getting bolder and more open about it, and are making no secret of their intense disdain and contempt.

Another DU'er brook and I just returned from a Democratic Party sponsored meeting with an AARP representative explaining the prescription drug "benefit" to us. I need a brain bath trying to sort out the doublespeak. It's not looking good. I feel like throwing bricks right now. :argh:
