Last week, Friends of the Earth Action (“FOE Action”) endorsed John Edwards.
This week, I interviewed Brent Blackwelder, President of Friends of the Earth and FOE Action, about the endorsement of John Edwards. Part I of the interview is in this diary.
Here’s a little about FOE Action for those unfamiliar with it:
Founded by David Brower in 1967, Friends of the Earth Action has established a 35-year record of not only fighting the tough battles, but winning them too. FoE Action provides extra political muscle on legislative battles here in the U.S. for to our sister organization, Friends of the Earth, which is part of a network of affiliates in over 70 nations around the world.

FoE Action looks beyond the symptoms of environmental degredation, to the systemic causes.
Come around after the fold to hear a real hero of the struggle to save our planet.
