I was probably in college the first time I heard some treehugger say that “Every day is Earth Day.” But now I see more and more people living by those words. And I intend to do something about it.

In the liberal press this week - from Time to the New York Times - you’ll find dozens of reports on how you can be a better dirt-worshipping douche bag. So in the interests of parity, I decided to share the ways I’m going to improve the world this Earth Day.

On Earth Day, April 22, I’m launching two grass-roots organizations. You hear liberals talking all the time about “grass roots organizing.” But normal people can do this too.

We have no time to waste with either of the organizations I’m starting. The first is called Repeal the 22nd, which will work to repeal the 22nd amendment to the Constitution. As you may know, this amendment limits the president to just two terms in office.

I can see how this amendment was a good idea when it was passed back in 1951. Just a few years earlier, Socialist president Franklin D. Roosevelt served three full terms and part of another.

But now we are in a much different situation. In less than nine months, John McCain, Hillary Lesbo Clinton or Barack Hussein Osama will be our next president unless We the People take drastic action. Most normal people realize what an amazing job the Bush administration has done these last seven years keeping America safe and relatively prosperous in a time of great danger. By repealing the 22nd, we can give this great man a chance to stay in office and make the world even safer for democracy.

The second organization I plan to start is Citizens for Bush/Cheney 2008. We will raise campaign funds for Bush/Cheney so they’ll be armed and ready in the event that Repeal the 22nd is successful.

In the wake of all this Al Gore nonsense, President Bush has done an extraordinary job in making sure that this country continues to have a sensible energy policy. Demand isn’t decreasing, so we need to increase supply. The thing is, there’s no good reason to reduce our demand. God gave man a special place on this Earth. He gave us resources to use as we see fit. And He’s our protector. Man is not God. We don’t have control over the climate. It’s just that simple. Think of it this way - if Al Gore says it, it must be wrong.

Bush recognizes man’s place in the world. His recent words may be troubling but his record is untarnished. He has repeatedly attempted to allow drilling in the Alaskan wildlife refuge and has given up millions of acres in Wyoming for coal mining. He knows that to go green is to go red - both fiscally and politically.

With your help, we can continue to have an energy policy that recognizes that man, not beast nor plant, is the ruler of this planet. This Earth Day, I urge you to support Repeal the 22nd and Citizens for Bush/Cheney 2008.
