BLEEDING the Government (tax payer)

September · March 23, 2010

Have you ever heard of the Equal Access to Justice Act (aka EAJA)? Environmental, also known as Green groups\organizations are BLEEDING the Government, who is also known as the American TAX PAYER dry. The Equal Access to Justice Act aka EAJA is a fund that allows non-profit organizations to get their attorneys fees reimbursed when they sue the government. They can submit for attorney fees in some case up to $650.00 per hour.

From 2000 till 2009 the Sierra Club sued the government 983 times, Wild Earth Guardians 241 times, Center for Biological Diversity 574 times and the Natural Resources Defense Council 488 times. It gets better. These groups get grants from the United States of America and then turns around and sue the crap out of the USA. WOW, they sure know how to play the system.

This is an example taken from a Fox News report; A few years ago the Center for Biological Diversity sued the CIA because they were not buying enough Hybrid cars, and they won. A report found on the web site for Western Legacy Alliance dated December 14, 2009 has 13 environmental groups that sued the government in 18 states 1159 times and got $29,567,304 paid to them by the Federal Government who is the American TAX PAYER.

These groups listed were the Sierra Club, Center for Biological Diversity, Humane Society, National Wildlife Federation, National Resource Defense Council, Forest (n/k/a WildEarth) Guardians, Colorado Environmental Coalition, Western Watersheds Project, Oregon Natural Desert Association, Oregon Wild (f.k.a.ONRC), Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance, Alliance for Wild Rockies, and the Wyoming Outdoor Council. There was also a few more dollars that went out to these groups on top of the $29,567,304, plus $4,156,488 paid from private companies under federal fee shifting statutes, plus $555,500 paid to environmental groups as “donations” in settlement agreements for total payment from all sources of $34,279,292.

I wish I could tell you that I made this up. I just read it after a friend sent it to me and was floored by what I read. I would ask everyone to please visit the web site and read and watch the news reports. Then ask yourself if you are okay with this? I for one will ask any groups that I belong to if they as a board support or are affiliated with any of these SCAM groups. If they are then I want nothing to do with them and will end my membership with them immediately. Do not forget to click on the September 30, 2009 Memo and you can see for yourself how much the presidents of these organizations make per year.
