Don't Weaken Endangered Species

My fellow centrist Republican blogger, Charging RINO, has been doing an excellent job in keep people informed of attempts by House Resources Committee Chair Mike Pombo to weaken the Endangered Species Act, the Holy Grail of the modern enviromental movement. ( You can read one of Jeremy's musings, here.)_Jeremy has been urging people to contact their representative to stop this bill in its tracks.

There is an easy way to do this. Republicans for Environmental Protection, a national grassroots organization of conservation-minded Republicans, has been keeping watch over many an evironmental issue for years and is following this legislation as well. If you want to contact your Congressperson as well as get more information on the Pombo bill, please go to this link. There is a letter already generated and after filling out a form, it will be sent to your representative. It will take less than a minute to make sure that animals like the bald eagle are protected from extinction.

One more thing. If you think that cars should be more fuel efficient, then you might want to support a bill introduced by Republican Sherwood Boehlert of New York. You can find out more by going here.
