Campaign Unavailable We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit Earthjustice.The short explanation of this alert was:
The cynically named “Threatened and Endangered Species Recovery Act" (H.R. 3824) is an absolute nightmare for threatened and endangered species, and ignores the 90 percent of Americans who care about protecting them. One provision states, in effect, that the government must either allow people to kill endangered species, or force taxpayers to pay them not to break the law. Think that’s outrageous? Another provision would end all critical habitat protection for the forests, beaches, meadows, and other places that endangered plants and animals need to survive and recover. And that’s just the beginning! If this bill is made law, hundreds of endangered species could become extinct, and many more will never recover. We owe it to future generations to protect threatened and endangered species and the places they call home. Please tell your representative: Don’t destroy the Endangered Species Act! Personalized messages are the most compelling -- why are you committed to protecting species? (Are you having trouble with this page? Click here.)

The House of Representatives could vote this week on whether to cut the heart out of the Endangered Species Act, which has so successfully protected vulnerable species like the bald eagle and the grizzly bear for so long. We need your help to stop this bill!
