Heidi,
I take your point. I'm not anti-government, quite the contrary, and I certainly agree that reform is what's necessary. The sooner the better.

I work at the DOJ and have written many letters to other government agencies through Earthjustice. So, obviously the DOJ doesn't look too far into people's affiliation with this organization. Before everyone becomes hateful of our own government, or certain entities within the government, our focus should remain on improving the government instead of tearing it down and leaving our country weakened for the other world powers to exploit. I am certainly tired of hearing about decent people becoming discouraged when applying for their government, and I feel this article has only fueled that fire instead of encouraging the good people.
I'm hoping to graduate with a J.D. this January and plan on pursuing environmental law, with the hope that I can afford to pay for our menagerie of rescue animals and a husband and house. That means looking for a governmental job, but this review shocks me! I'd like to argue that discrimination against pro-environmentalists violates the First Amendment, but of course all it violates is good sense, as the rest of the world turns green...
This is exactly the time when we ALL must band together; we must tell our stories; we must share our knowledge
& feelings--face-to-face, heart-to-heart! Do NOT let the out-going Bush thuggery intimidate anyone anymore!
Any Law Firms out there who are hiring social law attorneys, should reach out to the "up-and-coming generation" for interviews!
Don't abandon them. Don't abandon our principles!
It's a sorry state of affairs is probably one of the biggest understatements I could make!! Until the people of this country stand up and start acting like citizens, I don't believe that anything is going to change. Why on earth we have, as a nation, tolerated the travesty and destruction in every aspect of our country, I do not understand. So this is one more terrible but not surprising story that is becoming the norm rather than the exception it ought to be.....an exception that should be quickly righted!! We all, including the somewhat idealistic law students mentioned, need to move beyond fear of losing our chances to work for an oppressive government and work toward correcting what makes it so! We need to stop being afraid to rock the boat when it needs to be rocked!....
