Protect Biodiversity in Our National Forests

Mon, 30 Jan 2012 20:37:14 GMT

We need your help now to secure a future for biodiversity in America's national forests.

Last week, after three previous attempts failed, the U.S. Forest Service released a final draft of its National Forest Management Act regulations, which govern the management of the entire, 193-million acre national forest system.

While it improves on past rules, the new rule comes up short on fish and wildlife protections: A previous requirement that the Forest Service maintain viable populations of fish and wildlife on national forests has been weakened and made discretionary.

Please join us in telling the Forest Service to strengthen the rule to make protecting fish and wildlife a requirement, not just a possibility, in our national forests.

Tell Obama to Cease FDA Ties to Monsanto - #gmo #occupymonsanto #monsanto

Sun, 29 Jan 2012 20:38:44 GMT

Hi,

President Obama has appointed former Monsanto VP and Lobbyist Michael Taylor to become Senior Advisor to the FDA's Commissioner. This unthinkable linkage between food safety and corporate interest which have little regard for public health must be stopped. This example of a "fox watching the hen house" is inexcusable. President Obama must reverse this unimaginably dangerous policy and isolate FDA from corporate influence.

That's why I signed a petition to President Barack Obama.

Tell Congress: Don't roll back defense spending cuts

Sat, 28 Jan 2012 16:36:34 GMT

Dear Friend,

Our nation's military budget is grotesquely bloated.

Just about the only good thing to come out of last year's debt ceiling debacle was that the law Congress passed to raise the debt ceiling has the potential to reduce defense spending by $492 billion over the next ten years.

It would normally be a very heavy lift to get Congress to pass any kind of reductions to defense spending. But the legislation that raised the debt ceiling was designed in the case of a deadlock on the Super Committee to mandate across-the-board cuts starting in 2013, including cuts to defense, that would be unattractive to both Democrats and Republicans alike.

The Super Committee did deadlock. And now that they are faced with the prospect of mandatory reductions in defense spending, we can count on members in both chambers of Congress and in both parties to try to shield the American war machine from any sort of funding reductions.

I just signed a petition telling Congress not to roll back cuts to defense spending. I hope you do, too.

Oh no! Twitter censorship

Fri, 27 Jan 2012 05:36:40 GMT

Friends-

Oh no! Reuters, CBS, and other outlets are reporting that Twitter is going to start censoring tweets in certain countries:

"Twitter announced Thursday that it would begin restricting Tweets in certain countries, marking a policy shift for the social media platform that helped propel the popular uprisings recently sweeping across the Middle East."

Please click here to sign an open letter and urge Twitter to reverse its decision to start censoring:

http://act.demandprogress.org/sign/twitter_censorship/?referring_akid=1181.45...

And this quote is just tragic, as Twitter tries to rationlize away restrictions on speech:

"As we continue to grow internationally, we will enter countries that have different ideas about the contours of freedom of expression," Twitter wrote in a blog post published Thursday.

>From the Middle East, to Occupy, to SOPA and PIPA, the importance of open platforms like Twitter couldn't be more clear than it is today.

Will you help fight back, by signing an open letter to Twitter and asking them to reverse course? Just click here:

Thanks!

Stop the Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline!

Fri, 27 Jan 2012 00:36:50 GMT

Imagine it: Pollution from tanker traffic. An impossible-to-rule-out oil spill. Destruction of pristine habitat for sea otters, killer whales, puffins, seabirds and even iconic spirit bears. That's what's awaiting British Columbia's northern coast and hundreds of species of birds, animals and marine life that thrive in this region if we don't take action right now.

A controversial proposed pipeline would carry oil from the tar sands in Alberta to a port at Kitimat, British Columbia. After travelling nearly 1,170km through pristine wilderness and First Nations homelands, tar sands oil would be loaded on tankers bound for Pacific markets. To get there, they must first navigate the perilous northern B.C. coast, travelling the same wildlife-filled waters where the Queen of the North ferry sank in 2006. Is this pipeline in the public's best interest? If given a go-ahead, the pipeline project would:

- Fragment the boreal forest, home to birds and other wildlife, including Woodland Caribou and Grizzly Bears. - Expose the Great Bear Rainforest, home to wolves and the iconic Spirit Bear, and 30 internationally recognized Important Bird Areas teeming with marine birds, fish and other animals to potential oil spills and pollution from increased tanker traffic.
- Risk irreversible harm to the livelihoods of many coastal and aboriginal communities.

Our country's wildlife is depending on us to speak up on their behalf and put a stop to the Northern Gateway Pipeline project before it's too late. Add your voice and send your letter today!
