Celebrate Endangered Species Day

Celebrate Endangered Species by asking your Members of Congress to protect the Endangered Species Act which is under threat by a hostile Congress continually introducing bills, riders, poison pills and the like to undermine this important bill.

Please take 5 minutes this week to contact your representatives in Congress and ask them protect this law!

CALL: Find your Senators (contact information here) and your Representatives (contact information here). Call and tell the staff member who answers the phone that you are concerned about the Farm Bill and other pending legislation that threatens to undermine the Endangered Species Act and you would like your Member of Congress to commit to vote NO on all such legislation and to fight to protect the Endangered Species Act. 

EMAIL:  Email your Senators (contact information here) and your Representatives (contact information here) with the following script or write your own - 

Please vote NO on any legislation that undermines that Endangered Species Act or delists any particular species.  In particular, please watch out of bills, riders and poison pills that preclude judicial review for delisted species. These sorts of bills and riders weaken the Endangered Species Act and are at odds with the best available science. This Act has allowed us to protect biodiversity at a time when more and more plants and animals are going extinct every day. It is critically important to keep the Endangered Species Act strong and intact. 

TWEET:
