The short explanation of this alert was:

Photo of Dirk KempthorneEarthjustice, along with more than one hundred environmental groups across the country, is opposing former Senator and current Idaho Governor Dirk Kempthorne’s nomination to be the next Secretary of the Interior.

In recent years, the Interior Department has served more as a vehicle for the commercial exploitation of the public’s resources than as an agent for preserving and protecting them. Kempthorne’s abysmal environmental voting record as a member of the Senate does not suggest that he would do anything to turn the department around. Governor Kempthorne has repeatedly favored industry and commercial interests above the those of the American public.

Our nation’s public lands and natural resources deserve better! Please take action by asking your senators to oppose Dirk Kempthorne’s nomination today! Personalized letters are by far the most compelling ... please take a moment to tell your senators what you think.
