Time is running out! ACT FAST − the deadline is February 28th and we urgently need your signature on two petitions to help Captain Watson and the whales!

The United States government has created a quick and easy way for the people's voice to be heard − and you don't even have to be a US citizen or resident to voice your opinion! Official petitions can be created on White House's website, and once a petition receives 100,000 signatures within 30 days, it elicits an official response from the President. This is urgent! We need the President of the United States to seriously consider the following:

  1. Take strong action to stop the Japanese from killing whales in the Southern Ocean Antarctic Whale Sanctuary: http://wh.gov/Vnbu
  2. Provide safe haven to Captain Paul Watson, Founder of Sea Shepherd: http://wh.gov/VnRf

It only takes two minutes. Please sign these petitions. You can be part of an historic effort to provide safe haven to one of the greatest environmentalists of our era AND enact real change via the United States government to see whaling in the Southern Ocean Antarctic Whale Sanctuary come to an end!

Anyone over age 13 can sign the petitions and you do not have to be a US citizen. However, you must create an account on the White House's website, but only name and email are required fields. Please sign and share today! Time is running out!
