I am accepting the 2005 National Genesis Award held in Los Angeles. It was received after exposing animal abuse at Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey Circus. This award did not make Ringling Bros. happy. I was the victim of some incredibly horrible corporate shenanigans after receiving the Genesis award. See Investigative Reports page to view my Ringling Bros. stories. Money and power can buy a lot of silence in the main stream media. On-line newspapers were the only ones courageous enough to run the stories. The Huffington Post and Truthout.org.
