Why this petition matters

Started by Lee Dorsey

Today, President Obama announced that he will reconsider the Bush Administration's regulations that weakened the Endangered Species Act

 This is a great victory thanks in part to the Endangered Species Coalition and the 105 groups who signed onto our letter asking the Obama Administration to overturn the regulations. We need your help to make sure they can quickly restore protections for endangered species.

  Please help save endangered species! Last week, the House passed a bill that included language that empowers the Obama Administration to overturn the Bush Administration rules that weakened the Endangered Species Act and blocked conservation measures for polar bears. This week, the Senate will vote on the bill.
   However,  Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski and Alaska Governor Sarah Palin are furiously trying to strip the provision from the bill.  We need your help to stop them right now.  Please join us to restore protections for the polar bear and other endangered species.   The Endangered Species Act is the safety net for our nation's wildlife, fish and plants on the brink of extinction.  The Bush Administration's new regulations cut a hole in the safety net and take scientists out of the decision making process. These changes alsoblock important conservation measures under the Endangered Species Act to help the polar bear.
   Take the polar bear pledge and support our efforts to save the polar bear and other endangered species. 
  The Senate will vote on the bill by the end of the week.  The Endangered Species Coalition and our member organizations are launching an all-out effort to pass the bill and empower the Obama Administration to restore protections for the polar bear and other endangered species. 
  Please join the Endangered Species Coalition today and support our work to save endangered species. Congress and the Obama Administration can overturn the Bush Administration's regulations that weaken the Endangered Species Act.  But, they need to hear from us right now.  If you have not already, please send a letter to your Senators urging them to pass the bill that restores protections for endangered species. Thank you for speaking up for polar bears, gray wolves, canada lynx, pacific salmon and thousands of other endangered species. Sincerely,
Leda Huta
