Mr. Weber,

How nice that you know so much about me that you know I've never worked in
government.
Thank you for demonstrating your own incompetence.  Care to cite my work
record for the last twenty years or so? 

When those who call themselves 'enviromentalists' engage in a campaign of
lies about the positions and policies of any politician, they should be
called to account.  Truth matters.
Ms. Saldana's falsehoods about Brian Bilbray's positions on the Clean Water
Act deserve to be challenged.   If she wants to attack him, she should at
least be factual.

I suggest you tell those who engage in lies to 'turn down the volume and
the certainty' in *their* voices.
