Save America's Wolves!
The NRDC Action Fund is trying to collect 200,000 signatures by August 6th from people who oppose the Bush administration's plan to exterminate wolves in the northern Rockies. Please consider signing, and tell your friends about the campaign as well. I know George Bush isn't exactly known for listening to the Voice Of The People, but that doesn't mean we can stand by silently while things like this go on.
The link to add your signature is here, and I've included below a quote from NRDC's official information letter for you to read and pass on to others as you see fit.
Dear Friend:
The Bush Administration has just issued a disastrous "License to Kill" plan that could trigger the extermination of half the gray wolves in Wyoming and Idaho, starting as early as October -- unless we stop it now.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is accepting public comments on this cruel proposal only until August 6. Please register your opposition right now by going to: www.nrdcactionfund.org/wolfaerial
Our best hope for blocking this "open fire" order is to generate a tidal wave of public outrage and protest . . . so please sign your Citizen Comment immediately.
The Bush Administration wants to treat wolves like vermin, instead of an endangered species that has staged a welcome and dramatic comeback from the brink of extinction.
In preparation for these mass killings, the government has already purchased planes and helicopters capable of gunning down entire packs of wolves in minutes.
Their goal: To immediately kill up to 700 wolves in Greater Yellowstone and central Idaho.
Our goal: To stop this horrific proposal in its tracks -- by generating 200,000 pro-wolf Citizen Comments by the August 6 deadline.
Please help block the License to Kill by expressing your personal opposition while the Bush Administration is still taking public input.
Submit your Official Citizen Comment now -- and shield the wolves of Greater Yellowstone and Idaho from the coming crossfire -- by going to: http://www.nrdcactionfund.org/wolfaerial
Sincerely,
Frances Beinecke
President
