Help Win More Protections for Mountain Caribou

Submitted by Civic Feeds on Sat, 05/19/2012 - 06:30

In response to work by the Center for Biological Diversity and our partners, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has proposed more than 375,000 acres of protected critical habitat for mountain caribou in northern Idaho and northeastern Washington -- a victory for these rare alpine animals, but not a complete one.

Caribou once ranged across the upper Midwest and Northeast, but the northern Rocky Mountains are now their last stronghold in the contiguous United States. In order to save them, the proposed protected habitat should be expanded to also include areas where the caribou formerly ranged.

These beautiful animals have been thinned and marginalized by a combination of logging, poaching, road construction and the growing intrusion of snowmobiles into their high-elevation habitats.

Please take action today by voicing your support to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for protecting more of the caribou’s last habitat in the lower 48.

Boehner: End Republicans' Anti-Women Agenda

Submitted by Civic Feeds on Fri, 05/18/2012 - 06:30

Washington's Republicans have been playing politics with women ever since they gained power in Congress. They've attacked women's right to contraception. They've inserted the government into women's health care decisions. They've even voted against the Violence Against Women Act, turning a law that protects women and prevents domestic violence into a political charade.

Some Republicans claim they're not waging a War on Women -- but one look at their records exposes their anti-women agenda.

We need to send a message to House Speaker John Boehner and his Republican Party that they need to respect women. Tell Congressional Republicans to back off their War on American Women.
