Good deal. This is a racket-- I've read about it from other sources as well-- and it needs to stop. But, as far as I am concerned, money is fungible. Our government should not be in the business of giving money to political groups, period. If the organization in question participates in any political activities at all, it should not receive federal funds and that rule should be applied to ALL activist groups, not just environmental ones. Research grants should be given to research organizations exclusively. Or, more accurately, the government should subcontract and pay for research from research organizations with no political agendas or affiliations.

We understand that this Save the Whales group rec'd a disproportionate share! Something smells here!

SAVE THE REALLY BIG WHALES?
