I have had the pleasure of working with a group who cares very much about our country, called the Cowboys for Liberty. It is a group of volunteers from all over the country, with a high concentration in Texas, that wanted to do more to save the world.
We are rolling out our first project: the inaugural class of the http://www.whydeny.org/ which aims to hold accountable, at least for posterity, if not politically and economically, the worst of the worst climate deniers.
We held a nationwide election and have the highest vote getters as 13 inductees in this original class. The top vote getter is Scott Pruitt, the Administrator of the U.S. EPA, but he has lots of other culprits to share the stage with him. See the names, bios, and the original video on our website, http://www.whydeny.org/
I am asking you to do a couple of things. This is an effort that will succeed through social media. Please forward through your social media channels. I would love if you would let me know what you have done in the social media area.
While this Hall of Shame is initially on-line, we are trying to raise funds (1) for a physical location for the Hall of Shame and (2) for billboards and posters to put up in the inductees’ home towns to get earned media about this effort. https://secure.anedot.com/cfl/hall-of-shame.
