Bono Mack Gets Endorsement from Oceans Group

Ocean Champions stands behind Congresswoman's environmental efforts

Ocean Champions, a non-profit political group that endorses candidates with pro-Ocean stances, has endorsed incumbent Congresswoman Mary Bono Mack (R-Palm Springs) for another term in Washington.

"Congresswoman Bono Mack embodies the spirit of the Teddy Roosevelt Republican, hewing to conservative values while supporting land and water conservation and ocean health,” said David Wilmot, Ocean Champions’ President and Co-Founder.

"I am very grateful to have the support of Ocean Champions,” said Congresswoman Bono Mack. “I have always fought for meaningful land, ocean, and wildlife protections for the areas that I represent and for our nation. I look forward to continuing to be a strong advocate for thoughtful environmental policies."

Ocean Champions praised Bono Mack for her push to establish the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument, and for her efforts to restore the Salton Sea.

Thanks for sharing, Tina!

I personally don't have too much control over the way the site looks and functions, since it's partRead More of Patch overall. However, I am forwarding all your suggestions on to our design team and appreciate all the feedback-- positive and negative! And Jeremiah, I've asked around about the FB commenting thing some more, and there really are no plans to do away with our Patch logins. The FB comments are just meant to be a "plus" for those who want them... and others don't have to touch :)

100% agree with that! Plus I liked the way that in the old one you could reply to an individualRead More comment. This one only lets you post at the end of the thread. Pretty sure she has started using the Facebook comments program, which by itself will keep me from posting. If the old one doesn't come back I will most likely be saying sayonara. I pretty much like everything else, but this was the real draw of the Patch and it's strong point - especially during the fire. Advertisement pane is about 10% too large as well and should be on the other side of the page to look right. Renee is trying though, which is appreciated. I just hope she listens about the comments section. Jeremiah

I am not impressed with the new Patch. I am no longer able to copy my content from another wordRead More processor and keep the formatting. The links appear to run over into the next column. I don't like the fact that the old comments are not attached to the old posts. I am considering only posting on my personal blog and maybe just post the link here on the patch...Not happy.

the New PATCH layout is interesting and a bit confusing. perhaps it'll grow on me! is there a wayRead More to change the color/theme on our own-perhaps make viewing easier?
