Petition to President Obama to Save Endangered Species

Targeting: the President of the United States

Started by: Endangered Species Coalition

Join us in applauding President Obama's stated commitment to protect endangered species and restore scientific integrity. Urge President Obama to immediately reverse regulations that weaken the Endangered Species Act and to take steps to strengthen endangered species protections. The Bush Administration has pushed through last minute regulations to weaken the Endangered Species Act. The Obama administration has an opportunity to restore protections for our nation's disappearing wildlife and last remaining wild lands. Sign the petition to President Obama.

This campaign ends on Dec 31.

President Obama: Save Endangered Species

Dear President Obama:,

Congratulations on your historic election and thank you for your commitment to protect our environment and restore scientific integrity. We urge you to act immediately to restore protections for endangered species.

The Endangered Species Act is a safety net for our nation's wildlife, fish and plants on the brink of extinction. Please reverse the Bush Administration's regulations that weaken the Endangered Species Act. The last minute regulations weaken listing and habitat protections, remove scientific consultations that provide the necessary checks and balances, and ignore global warming as a threat to our nation's wildlife.

We have the opportunity to not only repair all of the damage done to endangered species programs, but to also take endangered species programs a step further in protecting America's wildlife. As an American citizen who is committed to protecting wildlife, I support efforts to:

· extend the Endangered Species Act's safety net to all species in need
· strengthen habitat protections
· address global warming impacts on threatened and endangered species
· provide adequate funding for endangered species programs

Sincerely,

[Your name here]

signed and left stern message because our voices are not being heard. When the wolves, polar bears, wild mustangs,etc., are gone, what is going to be left to enjoy?

Dear Mr.President, you seem to be a reasonable man. And as all reasonable men do, let's discuss the fact of the endangered species of Animals. The Tigers particularly are on the very brink of existence, unless we do something. Yes, I really hope you and all of us at care2 CAN and WILL make a difference. But time is running out like the sand in an hour glass. There is no time to loose. I know that by just by sending this Petition on to you, I am literally doing nothing. But let me tell you, MR.President, in India, where there are just 13 to 14 tigers left in the sanctuaries, we are not just gonna stop by sending Petitions. We are planning a movement of non-cooperation against the Authorities of the Sanctuaries. We may go on Hunger strikes or whatever it takes, but we want the POACHING to stop. The state of Kashiranga and Ranathambore is miserable. No more preaching. Only ACTION.
