Republican Outreach Talking Points





Donald Trump Threatens Third-Party Candidacy
Donald J. Trump has been roiling Republicans by attacking his rivals on their weak poll numbers and questioning their energy (Jeb Bush) and intelligence (Rick Perry).
But the larger threat that he poses to the party is the prospect that he could opt out and run as a third-party candidate. True to form, Mr. Trump is keeping the option open.

Canada Beats USA For Largest Land Oil Spill In North America!
By the time a contractor spotted a burst in the wall of an Alberta tar sands pipeline on July 15, a spill was already well underway. In a public apology on Friday, the pipeline’s owner, Nexen Energy, announced the spill was contained, but the cause, and the length of time it had been spilling, was still unknown. Thirty-one thousand barrels (roughly 1.3 million gallons) of bitumen, water and sand had spilled—a greater volume than even the 2010 Kalamazoo River spill in Michigan, still the largest land spill in the U.S.

I love the U.S. Department of the Interior's Facebook page. I found the above photo there: At 2,425 feet, Yosemite Falls is one of the tallest waterfalls in the U.S. This iconic waterfall can be seen from many places around the park’s Yosemite Valley, but nothing compares to seeing the waterfall up close. Michael Bonocore took this breathtaking photo of his friend Tessa Kit taking in the moment from the base of Yosemite Falls at the end of May. Yosemite Falls flows approximately November through July, with peak flow in May. Photo courtesy of Michael Bonocore. — with Michael Bonocore at Yosemite National Park.

Peace.
