I am forwarding content from an e-mail that I received recently since this is probably the best forum available. WOS is not officially a co-sponsor of this presentation, but as an organization established for bird education (including this TWEETERS site) we will promote opportunities to educate the public on issues that affect birds and birding opportunities while trying to stay neutral on political issues. Wishy-washy: yes; within our organizational charter: yes; hope you enjoy it: yes.
