>Greetings.
>
>Today the State PIRGs (Public Interest Research Groups) are launching
an
>email petition to protect endangered species. Since you are subscriber
to
>the PIRG's environmental email alerts, I wanted to take just a moment
to
>alert you to this petition - because of the importance of the issue,
and
>because not everyone on this list has signed or distributed an
electronic
>petition before.
>
>The petition comes at a critical time - right now, Congress is debating
two
>bills that would "reauthorize" the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The
>difference between the two is critical: Senator Kempthorne's bill
(S1180)
>seriously weakens many provisions of the ESA; Representative Miller's
bill
>(HR2351) provides for the recovery of endangered species, while
addressing
>the concerns of landowners. More information on these bills is at our
web
>site <http://www.pirg.org/enviro/esa>, and will be linked from the
email
>petition.
>
>When you receive the petition, please take a moment to read and sign
it.
>Forward it to your friends, and cc: to us at <esa@server.pirg.org>
(full
>instructions are included in the petition). We'll compile all the
>signatures, delivering a strong message to Congress.
>
>If you have any questions about the petition or our campaign, feel free
to
>email me back at <pirg@pirg.org>.
>
>Thanks for your time and concern.
