When the Sierra Club started hiring Maxxam and Halliburton employees, I stopped my membership. So, it has been a lot of years since the Sierra Club was the Sierra Club and not a backdoor agency for a few big businesses.

Years ago I was sitting at my desk about to write a check to the
Sierra Club. But I noticed something in the mail stack and read it.
It was about the so-called Natural Streams Act in Missouri. Being
pushed hard by the Sierra Club. Research found that if passed the Act
would essentially create a police state of inspectors constantly
checking on farmers and other rural landowners to make sure they
obeyed the many rules. Cripes, the thing covered all land in a
watershed. Duh! To make a long story short I began writing editorials
and sending money to those opposed to the Act. Thanks to getting the
facts out, we defeated the damned thing.
