Deborah Martin:
Recently, someone posted about this group's opposition to the fight against
light pollution. I have tried to obtain a copy of their free pocket book
but drew a blank despite several requests ( I do live in Canada...).

Anyone managed to get their hands on this booklet ?

Just morbid curiosity

Morbid, indeed. If you want to keep your wonderful country off this
gang of right-wing thugs' in-line-for-destruction list, you'll keep
quiet. A look at the names on the board of directors and the board of
advisors of this group shows that it is a Who's Who of right-wing
extremists whose agenda is the abolition of environmental laws and
civil liberties that stand in the way of corporate profit.

Here's a "Quick Fact" from their web site as of 09/07: "Based on a
recent report by The Washington Post, those who would oppose property
rights are committing even greater resources to their fight. One
environmental group, Earthjustice, employs 50 lawyers nationwide and
spends $18 million per year in legal actions. Since President Bush
assumed office in January 2001, the group has doubled their caseload,
and now files an average of 100 cases per year."

(That seems to be a rather modest caseload increase, considering that
since Dubya _took_ office, attacks on the environment have increased
many fold.)
