  Charlie, why did you respond to the DigitalBlackandWhite group asking
  to be removed from a Sierra club list? I assume that was a mistake
  you made.

  Sierra Club does not spam news groups (if they did, forward me the
  full email with headers and I will bring it up with senior staff at
  the Club).

  Barack Obama is the leader who will put America on the path to a clean
  energy economy that creates and keeps millions of jobs, spurs
  innovation and opportunity, and makes us a more secure nation.
