Oriental Trading These outsiders are at this moment utilizing our own democratic election process to attempt hijack our agenda, our budget, our endowment, our staff, our membership base, in short, all of our resources for their own purposes.

Trading A grass roots group of Club members and leaders is determined to fight back. Today we go public with this effort, called "Groundswell Sierra," which is being organized to defend and protect the Sierra Club, and we are asking you to join us. We need your help in getting the word out about this threat to our organization, demanding that the current Board of Directors and staff utilize the vast resources of the Sierra Club to defend itself against this outside take over, and encouraging our fellow members to vote -- thoughtfully -- in this spring's Board of Directors' election. The fate of the Sierra Club will be decided in the next three months!

Protest campaign Thirteen former Sierra Club presidents found scattershot evidence of a takeover conspiracy convincing enough to call it one of the most serious threats the club has ever faced. Famed civil rights attorney Morris Dees, founder of the Southern Poverty Law Center, is so troubled that he's running for the board as a protest candidate. Jill Workman, chairwoman of Oregon's Sierra Club chapter, joined Groundswell to help oppose any takeover. "I don't know Paul Watson, but I've read the statements he's made, and they concern me, " she says.

Trading Financial System The threat to the Sierra Club comes from outside groups, allied with factions within the Club, who are running petition candidates for the Board of Directors with the publicly-stated purpose of "taking over" the Club, commandeering the conservation campaigns we have chosen and reallocating our budget to fund their own narrow, political aims. This calculated and cynical effort to manipulate the Club's open and democratic process is being led by individuals from outside organizations that appear to receive significant resources from the same right-wing funders who are financing the assault on the environment currently emanating from the White House.

The Sierra Club, having concluded that the legislation does not apply to the Plainfield site, filed a request for a declaratory judgment with the DEP.

Day Trading So much is at stake: our democracy, our grass roots nature, the integrity of our unique direct elections, the effectiveness of our conservation work, our fiduciary responsibility to the thousands of prior donors to our efforts, our ability to keep our commitment to stop the Bush administrations dismantling of our hard fought environmental protections. But with your help, we can beat back this threat and emerge a stronger Sierra Club.
