Add environmental degradation to the Manifesto

There's so much going wrong with this country in such a small time frame that it's easy to forget an area of importance where we need not only to preserve the status quo, eschew the New Normal, but even advance the cause toward greater goals. That area is, indeed, the environment. So add the following text to the New Normal Manifesto:

The Continuing Assault on Environmental Protections and Attempts to Turn Public Lands Over to Private Economic Interests. The Bush administration in concert with Congress has tried since the beginning of Bush's term in office to water down existing environmental laws and regulations. Where a private interest, such as power generation or land development, can be assisted at the cost of the environment, the current government has always chosen to undercut hard-fought environmental gains. We must not turn back the clock on the environment, and we must work internationally to support a sustainable future worldwide.
