We must build an army of cheerleader lobbyists and campaigners

NYT: "Drug companies seeking attractive sales representatives have opened a recruiting pipeline to top college cheerleading squads...Known for their athleticism, postage-stamp skirts and persuasive enthusiasm, cheerleaders have many qualities the drug industry looks for in its sales force."

I think that beltway enviro groups could take a page from this book. I could not name a single national environmental group whose staff are similarly known for their "athleticism, postage-stamp skirts and persuasive enthusiasm." Except for maybe Greenpeace....though not the part about the skirts, which is really for the best. There are some things you just don't want to see during a banner hang.
