CALL TO ACTION: Stop the SHARE Act

The House is expected to vote on the Sportsmen’s Heritage and Recreational Enhancement Act, or  SHARE Act, this week. This bill would delist wolves permanently and prohibit bans of lead ammunition or fishing gear - among other disastrous impacts to wildlife  Please take the following actions to ensure that your Representative votes NO on the SHARE Act.

CALL: Find your Representative's phone number HERE and tell him or her to VOTE NO ON THE SHARE ACT (HR 3668). 

EMAIL: Find your Representative's contact form HERE. Tell him or her in your own words to oppose the SHARE Act or copy and paste the following:

Please vote NO on the SHARE Act, HR 3668. This law would undermine the Endangered Species Act by legislatively delisting gray wolves in the Great Lakes permanently. This would preclude judicial review and also prevent the USFWS from ever re-listing the wolves if science indicated that they had become endangered. This is a recipe for extinction.

The SHARE Act would also expand trapping which is an indiscriminate and barbaric method for killing wildlife. Expanded trapping not only increases the number of wildlife that would suffer needlessly and cruelly but it increases the odds that non-target wildlife, including endangered species, as well as family pets could be trapped.

Finally, this terrible bill would ban any regulation of lead ammunition or fishing gear, both of which are responsible for poisoning birds and wildlife by the millions each year. 

The SHARE Act has been through Congress many times and has always been rejected. Please make sure that the House rejects this very bad bill again. PLEASE VOTE NO ON HR3668, THE SHARE ACT.

RESISTBOT: Text 504-09 and type RESIST. The ResistBot will convert your texts to faxes or mailed letters to your Representative. Write your own message asking your Representative to vote NO On HR3668 (The Share Act) or copy and paste the message above.

CALL TO ACTION: Public Comments on the Clean Water Rule

The EPA is seeking to repeal the Clean Water rule of 2015, which clarifies which streams and wetlands qualify for protection under the Clean Water Act. This proposed repeal threatens drinking water for 1 in 3 Americans as well as millions of acres of important habitat for fish, birds and other wildlife. 

Public comments must be submitted by September 27. Public comments have repeatedly been shown to be one of the most impactful actions an advocate can take.  Public comments slow down the roll back of regulation, buying us time, and provide fodder for lawsuits. Please take five minutes to speak up for clean water! Directions on how to comment and what to say below:

COMMENTS DUE BY SEPTEMBER 27, 2017 at 11PM EDT.  Please prepare your comment in a document where you can save it. Once it is complete, submit your comment HERE and please also email it to your Senators (contact info HERE) and to your representative (contact info HERE).

WHAT TO SAY:

Thank you for accepting comments on Docket Number EPA-HQ-OW-2017-0203 which would repeal the 2015 Clean Water Rule. I write because I strongly oppose repeal of this rule.

Repeal of this rule would impact drinking water for 117 million Americans. Clean and safe drinking water is a basic human right. Unsafe drinking water can have wide-ranging health impacts, ranging from cancer to serious birth defects, and is simply not worth the risk. We ALL suffer when American communities do not have access to clean and safe drinking water.

Repeal of this rule would threaten habitat for wildlife by redefining "waters of the United States" to exclude wetlands, headwaters and some ponds. There are about 110 million acres of wetlands affected and 60% of US stream miles - all of which provide critical habitat for birds and wildlife. The outdoor recreation economy is worth $887 billion each year and repeal of this rule puts that industry at risk.

Repeal of this rule would put at risk millions of acres of wetlands. Healthy wetlands reduce the risk of flooding. The storms that we experienced this summer and the ongoing sea level rise drive home the importance of maintaining wetlands to absorb flood waters. Lives are literally at risk when we do not protect wetlands.

ADD YOUR PERSONAL STORY. FOR EXAMPLE:

• I LIVE NEAR A FLOOD ZONE AND RELY ON HEALTHY WETLANDS TO REDUCE MY PERSONAL RISK OF FLOODING. 
• AS A LOVER OF WILDLIFE or AS SOMEONE WHO FISHES, IT IS IMPORTANT TO ME THAT WE MAINTAIN SAFE HABITAT TO PROTECT OUR BIODIVERSITY. 
• SHARE ANY HEALTH ISSUES YOU OR A FAMILY MEMBER OR FRIEND HAVE THAT MIGHT BE IMPACTED BY LACK OF ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER

Save our ESA and our wildlife! Stop appointment of Trump Nominee Susan Combs for U.S. Dept of Interior

Susan Combs has a very successful track record of undermining protections put in place to preserve endangered wildlife in favor of industry and development. This job will put her in charge of all things related to the Endangered Species Act. Susan Combs Combs is a former anti-wildlife, pro fossil fuel Texas state comptroller.


Here is what you can do to stop this from happening. Please tweet the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources board members below and tell them to say NO to this blatant attempt to undermine our environmental protections!

CALL TO ACTION: 5 Democrats Vote to Kill Baby Bears and Wolves

Alaska's Don Young is up to his old tricks! Along with insulting his female colleagues, Young is once again pushing his agenda of unethical hunting practices on federal lands. Most recently, the House of Representatives passed - with the help of 5 Democrats! - an amendment to repeal an Obama rule against abhorrent hunting practices on National Park Service lands in Alaska. These practices include: killing entire wolf packs during denning season, using artificial lights to kill hibernating black bear mothers and their cubs, killing grizzly bear families over baits, chasing black bears with packs of trailing hounds.

If you are a constituent of one of the Democrats who supported this awful amendment (Collin Peterson of MN, Gene Green of TX, Ron Kind of WI, Henry Culler of TX, Vicente Gonzalez of TX) please call or email them to express your disgust.

Everyone else:

Leave the following comment or one in your own words (but please keep it civil):

I am extremely disappointed by your vote in support of Young Amendment 43 to HR3354 to allow the killing of wolf families in their dens as well as the killing of hibernating bear mothers and cubs. The amendment would also permit hounding of black bears and baiting of grizzly bears. All of this would be permitted on our federal public lands. I cannot believe a Democrat would support such abhorrent practices and will work to ensure constituents remember such a heartless vote.
