About the Author

Michael Schacker is on the advisory board of The Rodale Institute and has a strong scientific, writing, speaking, political and marketing background, making him an excellent candidate to lead the fight to save the bees. As a political consultant, Michael was hired in 2004 by the national Presidential campaign of Howard Dean to publish The Dean Times, a campaign newspaper that he created. 275,000 copies of The Dean Times were distributed by volunteers in New Hampshire and Iowa. He has also strategized, marketed and carried out 24 winning campaigns for his local political consulting clients. In 2003, Michael started The Ulster Clarion, a Democratic Party election newspaper that investigated Ulster County issues and told truth to power. Michael investigated and wrote many of the key articles for The Ulster Clarion, exposing Republican illegalities and favors concerning casino development, the local $200 million jail and numerous county budget shenanigans and scandals. The paper, with a temporary circulation of 50,000, helped turn Ulster from a 25-8 Republican majority in the County Legislature to a 21-12 Democrat government just four years later. Using the Web as an organizing tool, the author will help lead the effort to ban IMD through book tours, TV interviews and his future Web site WhyTheBeesDie.com. The author also has four years experience working as a strategic consultant and contract writer for The Rodale Institute, the leading organic agriculture institution. There he helped write and create an Organic Farmer e-learning program, working with the TRI Farm Manager, top researchers and TRI’s leadership. This experience helps him write the solutions chapters of Bees, which explains how “Regenerative Farm Design” can bring back the birds and other wildlife that used to eat the aphids and other bugs now afflicting crops. Mr. Schacker has forged contacts with many CCD researchers, such as Maryanne Frazier at the Penn State CCD Working Group, alerting them to the research of others and news reports of Killer Bee Resistance, CCD’s presence in Arizona, the French research on parts per billion, etc. In return, they have emailed him back all the main papers on the subject, as well as keeping him in the loop during many phone calls, interviews and emails. He also has very close contacts to United States Representatives Maurice Hinchey and Kirstan Gillibrand, who serve on the House Agriculture Committee. He has many influential political, scientific and press contacts in NY, DC and LA and plans to work with dozens of different groups to lead the coalition to ban IMD, carrying on the legacy of Rachel Carson. The author is a dynamic speaker, who has addressed large crowds many times in his political organizing career. In fact, he is one of the speakers called in by the local Ulster Democrats to specifically rally the troops and inspire the volunteers. Michael is determined to save the bees. He will contribute a portion of the royalties to Plan Bee and intends to organize in DC and through the blogosphere, in order to exert maximum pressure on the Congress to enact legislation in support of the bees.
