"Forsaking Fundamentals: The Environmental Establishment Abandons U.S. Population Stabilization"
by Roy Beck, executive director of NumbersUSA.com and Leon Kolankiewicz, 68 pp

"While most Americans realize that our rapid, immigration-driven population growth is affecting their quality of life, most leaders of environmental organizations and elected officials in Washington seem afraid to deal with the issue. To continue ignoring the large population component of our increasing environmental problems will certainly doom our grandchildren to a very bleak future. I'm confident that Forsaking Fundamentals will provoke healthy discussion on this issue so vital to our nation's future."

– Douglas La Follette Wisconsin Secretary of State,organizer of first Earth Day in Wisconsin; former National Board Member of Friends of the Earth; former professor of chemistry and ecology

"I am pleased to participate in the release of this monograph from the Center of Immigration Studies. Leon Kolankiewicz and Roy Beck provide fascinating and rather painful explanations for why our governmental institutions, the news media and especially our environmental groups have acquiesced and even encouraged this new population explosion.

"My hope is that — as happened at the first Earth Day — this year's Earth Day will see a renewed pledge to move toward full environmental protection that can be achieved only by U.S. population stabilization. This monograph shows what went wrong the previous 30 years and points the way to what must be done if we are to avoid the present trajectory that will double our population again this century."
