So all of the radical environmental groups that were created in this country started where? In that little epicenter of Hollywood and San Francisco on the west coast of California. Lawsuits, lawsuit after lawsuit after lawsuit, millions of dollars went to trial lawyers. But you know what, Mr. Speaker? Those millions of dollars that came from my community to pay off these rich lawyers, we don't know how many millions it was because it is hidden from the taxpayer. It is hidden from the American people, sealed by court order. Why don't they come out and tell us how much money they made? Millionaires off of government, used the government to make millions. Used the government to dump sewage into the water to kill the fish; dam up Yosemite to bring the water from Yosemite for fresh water while our people, farmers and farmworkers, lose their jobs. It is an inconvenient truth, Mr. Speaker.
