one more lie, and I wonder how much the LA Times got payed for this one:

"The two have been skewered by surfers over an issue they themselves, as wave
riders, say they know and care a lot about: the environment. Both men voted
for a bill that proposes to roll back federal protection of America's coasts
and waterways. It passed last May. Bilbray also authored an amendment that
exempts San Diego's shore-home to the most beach closures in the nation-from 
Environmental Protection Agency rules and checkups. The amendment passed in 
July. The entire bill needs approval from the Senate to become law (and 
President Clinton has threatened to veto it)."

the article was published Thursday, September 14th, 1995, the name of the
author is Dennis Romero.

Brian Bilbray claimed for a long time to work together with Surfrider Foun-
dation and for the environment, a lie we certainly did not pay HIM for!!

Bilbray and Rohrabacher are using the "green" image of surfing to further
their ideological goals of dismantling all government regulation. These two
are right-wing ideologues who will not be convinced by patient reasoning. We
might shame them into backing off a bit, but sucking up to them will only
allow them to continue to bask in the image of the ocean.

Need hard data? Check out their voting record! The most convinient way is 
through our homepage at http://www.sdsc.edu/SDSC/Partners/Surfrider/SanDiego.

peace,
h.

PS.: Lori, keep up the good work!!
