Minnick Gives Money to Breach Dams, Stop Drilling

PRESS RELEASE -


BOISE, IDAHO – Newly unveiled records show liberal Democrat Walt Minnick has donated money to EarthJustice, an environmentalist law firm which stands for breaching dams, preventing offshore and domestic drilling for oil, restricting access to public lands and generally opposes everything Minnick has claimed to support in his campaign.

In EarthJustice's 2003 annual report, Minnick was listed as being a member of their "Advocates Circle," their mid-level donor membership level.


EarthJustice, an environmental law firm with the motto, "because the Earth needs a good lawyer," makes a business of suing to achieve their extreme policy goals. It has sued to halt plans to drill offshore, prevent drilling in ANWR and have made it a policy priority to breach the lower Snake River dams.

"When you give money to a group, it is a pretty loud endorsement of its policy objectives and methodology. In this case, EarthJustice sues and locks up the court system in order to do things like breach the Lower Snake River dams," said Congressman Sali after learning of Minnick's associations with EarthJustice.


Sali added, "The bottom line is, Minnick has given money to groups which oppose traditional marriage, to politicians who oppose the Second Amendment and to numerous environmental groups which oppose drilling and responsible forest management."
