U.S. | Environment & Forest Defenseendangered species face new threat from feds
Your help is needed to keep the Endangered Species Act from being undermined Your help is needed to stop the attempt underway now to further weaken
protections for endangered species. The Bush administration is trying to weaken the Endangered Species Act on a fast track so there's very little time and they're refusing to accept email or fax. Why does it matter? After the time when no one remembers what the United States was, much less any possible difference in the effect of whether Obama or McCain became president, and after the time when no one remembers what gasoline was, much less what happened to its price, life would continue to be impoverished if Salmon were driven to extinction by our actions and inactions. For more go to http://www.idiom.com/~for7gen/e/salmon03.htm Amphibians have survived 4 mass extinctions, much more than mammals have. But they're in serious trouble now - what does that say about our prospects? Are we really an intelligent species, or will we ignore the alarm bells that our life support system is unravelling? For details go to http://www.idiom.com/~for7gen/e/esa04.htm For info, letter-writing, submitting a quick comment, and seeing some other comments go to: Endangered Species Coalition http://www.stopextinction.org click "take action" To send a quick comment via Center for Biological Diversity with a larger window easier to edit go to: http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/2167/t/5243/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=25351 For general info: http://www.biologicaldiversity.org/news/center/articles/2008/time-08-12-2008.html http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5hkF1lWZoKQaqIgrv4XHs4RAorcQgD92NHQMG6 For the official announcement in all its legalistic doubletalk, with mailing address and link to the official website to view and enter comments on your own: http://frwebgate2.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/waisgate.cgi?WAISdocID=315735333125+7+0+0&WAISaction=retrieve Also demand that Congress block this proposal before it can take effect, and spread the word to friends, organizations, media, etc.
