There are some Republicans in my former neighborhood on a quaint Intracoastal Waterway cove here in North Florida who are ready to tell Andrew Wheeler, the EPA's new environmental chief, to take his head out of the oil sands about climate change and global warming.
They finally saw the light after our homes were hit by two devastating floods within 11 months and after witnessing in recent years unprecedented high tides and rains that at times turned Hopson Road into a lake. Pictures here speak a thousand words but, unfortunately, they will fall on deaf ears of the new Trump administration EPA boss who is a long-time apologist for the fossil fuel industry.
After exhausting clean-up from Hurricane Matthew, and then Hurricane Irma flooding less than a year later, with much sadness I put the home I built 42 years ago on the market. But as a widow in her 70s, I faced the reality of risking yet another flood and my ability to handle it physically or emotionally a third time. So I moved in late January.
A month ago I decided to directly challenge a climate-change denying Republican in the Florida legislature by becoming a candidate for Florida Senate Dist. 4. You can help me get there by making a donation (of any amount) on line at my website: Billee4FLSenate4.com or by mailing a check payable to Billee Bussard Election Campaign, 2115 Forest Gate Drive E., Jacksonville, FL 32246
Millions of other first-hand witnesses to global warming and climate change will express their frustration with lapdog legislators for fossil fuel interests at the polls. Maybe it will take Blue Tsunami in November for more Republicans to wake up.
