Girl Interrupted

It figures that our esteemed leader wouldn't let me take my blogcation in peace. As I noted last week, President Bush is attempted to eviscerate the Endangered Species Act before bidding adieu. Please follow the instructions below for leaving comments with the Department of the Interior (Cut and pasted from the lovely Burbanmom. Hey, I'm on vacation!).

Please, Please, PLEASE send comments to the DOI via this page and request the follow:

  • that the proposed rule changes NOT be enacted.
  • that the public comment period be extended to at least 60 days.
  • that they open the proposed rules to public hearings.

If, for whatever reason, the above link doesn't work or stops working, you can either submit your comments via the NRDC here or use snail mail to send your comments to:
Public Comment Processing, Attention: 1018-AT50, Division of Policy and Directives Management, US Fish and Wildlife Service, 4401 North Fairfax Drive, Suite 222, Arlington, VA 22203

Please speak up and prevent Mr. Bush from further destroying our environmental protection laws in a mere eight years. Now back to my blogcation. See you on September 2.

Is this gonna be like a Crunchy Chicken blog vacation? You know, the kind that lasts only a day or two... ;-P

I'm never believing you guys again about blog vacations. Admittedly an important reason to come back, but still!

This new low of the administration is mind-boggling, and has taken a chip away from my faith in humanity.

Yes, quite disturbing-- as if we haven't caused enough damage to the enviornment (and counteless other things) in the last 8 years. I would also strongly suggest contacting your local congress people. Politics really IS local, and if enough people voice their opinions to their representatives, we could see change. Your local politician will be more likley to take a stand than this president will alone IMO.

What bothers me is it doesn't seem to do any good to elect Demo's in congress- Pelosi and associates are just powerless to do anything to stop this evil man.

I got my letters in the mail this morning! I also wrote a post on my Rants blog about this same subject.
