Wilderness Society takes on Birthers’ video
For many months the fight to pass climate legislation has been the talk of the town here in D.C. From seasoned policy veterans to our development staff to our interns, it’s been “all hands on deck” here at The Wilderness Society as we work against powerful interest groups to pass a bill that will protect our treasured landscapes and dependent communities from the impacts of global warming pollution. After months of attending hearings, dropping off factsheets to hundreds of congressional offices and even being on Capitol Hill the evening the House passed the American Clean Energy and Security Act (H.R. 2454), our interns produced a video in hopes of spurring much-needed action from young citizen activists across the country.
Playing off of the now-infamous “Birthers” videos, this humorous take on a serious issue is sure to make you laugh, and will hopefully encourage you to pick up the phone and urge your Senator to support the strong clean energy jobs and climate legislation our economy and wildlands need.

This is beneath the Society
Really. Is this what you are spending our donations on? I think that this is a waste of time and energy, and is disrespectful to those Society members who still have honest doubts as to the President's birthplace. This is juvenile and likely the product of someone who is, shall we say, youthful.
If you have honest doubts
If you have honest doubts regarding the president's location of birth then your severe lack of common sense makes me want to cry, and you're part of the reason poor decisions are made, please go away and never vote. No one needs to be sensitive to mad fantastical concoctions of pure ludicrous. Further highlighting your stupidity, yes, this is obviously youthful as a major target was the younger, college aged crowd.
