the Senate is preparing to consider major changes to this critical conservation law. Right now, the members of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee are drafting a bill to rewrite the Endangered Species Act, and we need your help to make sure the Senate does not weaken the ESA!
Of particular concern is H.R. 3824, a very damaging bill sponsored by Representative Pombo of California that has already passed in the House. Not only does this bill gut the Endangered Species Act, but it:
Provides new loop holes to make it easier to use deadly pesticides that will impact not only wildlife but our children, by polluting our lands and waters.
Requires taxpayers to pay people not to break the law and kill endangered species.
Allows federal agencies to avoid consultation, resulting in agencies with little to no experience in wildlife issues deciding if projects will harm wildlife.
Stand up to this attack on the Endangered Species Act and urge your Senator to vote against any legislation that would weaken this important law.
We must protect the forests for our children, grandchildren and children yet to be born. We must protect the forests for those who can't speak for themselves such as the birds, animals, fish and trees.
