From the Heartland Institute's website:
CHICAGO: NOVEMBER 21, 2003: President George W. Bush has appointed Dr. Herbert J. Walberg, chairman of the Board of Directors of The Heartland Institute, to the National Board for Education Sciences.
The National Board for Education Sciences was established in 2002 to oversee research, data collection and evaluation, and dissemination of information. It has 15 members, all appointed by the President to two-year terms.
Where do they get their contributions/enviro policy ideas (major contributors listed on Heartland's website) -
Greening Earth Society (not what you think! From their website: Greening Earth Society is a not-for-profit membership organization comprised of rural electric cooperatives and municipal electric utilities, their fuel suppliers, and thousands of individuals.) BP Amoco General Motors The Heritage Foundation (enough said) Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers American Petroleum Institute American Plastics Council Asphalt Institute Chemical Manufacturers Assoc. Chevron Chlorine Chemistry Council Citgo Daimler Chrysler Energy Group Exxon Mobil Florida Wood Council Ford Motor Corp. Forest Resources Assoc. Forestry Services Co. Franco-Nevada Mining GM Union Carbide etc., etc. etc.
It's true folks, Bush is putting all the foxed in charge of the hen house. We have to get him out of there or we will continue to see appointments like this shaping America's policy and future.
