Stop The Assault On Wildlife!

Take Action Against Four Threats to Wildlife!

By forcing wildlife agencies to publicize the denning sites of imperiled species online, this bill could easily facilitate poaching.

Tell your representative to vote NO on four harmful wildlife bills!

Dear Reader,

Before he leaves office at the end of this year, Rep. Doc Hastings, chair of the House Natural Resources Committee, is determined to pass four bills that would seriously harm our nation’s endangered species.

Tell your Representative to vote against the four bills being pushed by Rep. Doc Hastings.

A lifelong peddler of bills benefiting special interests, Hastings has spent a career pushing legislation that would undermine years of conservation efforts and long-standing environmental protections from coast to coast.

These bills, among other things, would allow politicians to determine what is the best available science on important issues – not scientists themselves. The bills would also force wildlife agencies to publicize the denning sites of imperiled species online – which could do far more harm than good, and easily facilitate poaching. For years, Rep. Doc Hastings has attacked the Endangered Species Act (ESA) in an attempt to weaken it at the expense of the hundreds of animals who rely on it for protection.

Please take a moment to urge your representative to vote against the four bills that would seriously undermine efforts to protect imperiled species.

Though Hastings’ followers present them as pro-wildlife, these bills offer no benefit to endangered species, and could cause irreparable damage to those that rely on the ESA for life-saving protections.   

Take a stand for wildlife by telling your representative to vote no on Hastings’ bills!

Thank you for all you do.

Sincerely,

Robert Dewey
Vice President for Government Relations
