Stop Trump's War on Wildlife. CENTER FOR BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY.

Stop Trump's Assault on Wolves, Bears and 1,000 Other Species SIGN THE PETITION » Trump has declared an all-out war on America's wildlife. And your voice matters right now. Over the past few months, his administration has rolled out plans to eviscerate the Endangered Species Act, the lifesaving law that protects bears, sea turtles, birds and more than 1,000 species across the country. His goal? Weaken the law so much that corporate polluters can bulldoze, mine, drill, log and destroy some of the last remaining habitat for endangered species on the planet. It will mean more trophy hunting, trapping and lethal snaring of endangered species like grizzlies, wolves and lynx. What's more, Trump is gearing up to strip protections from nearly every wolf in the lower 48 states so they can be gunned down, trapped or killed in their dens. It's disgusting — and we're not about to let that happen. The Center for Biological Diversity's kick-ass staff of lawyers, scientists, organizers and media experts are fighting back with everything we've got. We've been battling right-wingers' attempts to destroy the Endangered Species Act for decades, but we've never seen anything like what Trump is trying to pull. Think about what's at stake. Without the Endangered Species Act: Livestock operators would have free rein to annihilate gray wolves. Trophy hunters could gun down Yellowstone's grizzly bears for fun. Polar bear and spotted owl habitat could be bulldozed, drilled and destroyed. This is the fight of a lifetime for more than 1,000 animals and plants, from polar bears and ice seals to wolves and sage grouse. We must act now to stop this violent assault on America's most vulnerable creatures.  Whenever wildlife are at risk, no one goes to court faster than the Center for Biological Diversity. We've protected more than 620 species and half a billion acres of habitat — more than any other conservation group. You have a part to play too when it comes to protecting wildlife from Trump. This is no time to sit on the sidelines. Act. Resist. Sign the petition.

BLAST FROM THE PAST. WHAT PROGRESSIVES MUST LEARN. DON'T UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF HATE: THE ''NEW'' REPUBLICAN PARTY.

Progressives, no matter where found, must understand, and not forget, that the REPUBLICAN PARTY THAT EXISTS TODAY IS DIFFERENT FROM THE PAST. THOSE WHO HAVE LED THE CHARGE TO NOMINATE DONALD TRUMP, ARE FROM A SMALL NUMBER OF EXTREMIST FACTIONS WHOSE RISE TO POWER WITHIN THE PARTY HAS BEEN DRAMATIC. IT HAS ALSO BEEN THE RESULT OF THE PARTIES INCREASING USE OF INTOLERANT AND HATE FILLED PROPAGANDA TO STIGMATIZE THE OPPOSITION, AND MISLEAD THE PUBLIC.

The Problem for the REPUBLICANS, was the Idea that these FACTIONS could be Utilized for the benefit of the Party as a whole, but controlled and prevented from attaining to much power and influence within the Parties Hierarchy. When needed they could be Mobilized for Money, Votes, Voices on Radio, Demonstrations, or any Party need that could not be satisfied Through Normal, Traditional, Intellectually Honest or Morally Commendable Channels.

These Factions Include Individuals who could be Described in the following ways:

-   RELIGIOUS ZEALOT.

-   RADICAL ISOLATIONIST.

-   ECONOMIC BIGOT.

-   ANTI- INTELLECTUALIST.

Now, they're Racists, Bigots, Homophobes, Xenophobes etc., , to be found in every walk off life. However, in the Republican Parties case, They now call the shots by setting Policy, and promoting certain Individuals as Candidates to Nominate for the Upcoming Election.
