"following" is too strong. I read a newspaper account and came away with teh same understanding as you.

I have never been a Sierra Clubber, but I usually agree with them on national issues. What I like about their structure is the loose hierarchy allows for approaches tailored to local mores. We have local club president who owns a caddy dealership. He's very much a member of teh ol' boys' network. But he's tired of seeing his favorite hunting and fishing spots needleslly or negligently degraded. So he put is money and his mouth and time where he thought it could do some local good.

My affection for that club is similar to mine for the ACLU. I appreciate the good that they do and the sincerity of their efforts.
