SAVE THE ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT FROM EXTINCTION

Southern sea otters, green sea turtles, manatees, and many other beloved ocean animals would be extinct — gone forever — if not for the Endangered Species Act.

The Endangered Species Act is one of our nation’s most important, successful, and popular laws — it has prevented the extinction of 99% of the species under its care!

But now this landmark law faces grave attacks from anti-environment interests in Congress. Imperiled ocean animals need you to speak up on their behalf, before it’s too late.

Tell your members of Congress: Protect imperiled ocean life by opposing any legislation that would weaken the Endangered Species Act.

Dear {contact_data~salutation},

I’m writing today as your constituent to encourage you to vote against any bills and amendments that would weaken the Endangered Species Act (ESA).

The ESA is one of our nation's most successful and popular laws. Passed with overwhelming bipartisan support, the law has prevented 99% of the species under its care from going extinct. Hundreds of species are on the path to recovery thanks to the ESA. Decades of public polling have demonstrated strong bipartisan support for the law. I support the ESA and the marine wildlife it protects, and I’m counting on you to be my voice in Congress. Please oppose any bills that would weaken the law.

Since it was enacted, the ESA has prevented hundreds of species from disappearing forever and contributed to the recovery of many more. It is our safety net for imperiled fish, plants, and wildlife. The ESA is a success story – without it we likely would have lost many important marine species to extinction, including Southern sea otters, green sea turtles, manatees, and Chinook salmon.

As a voter and your constituent, I am asking you to defend this important law by opposing all efforts to weaken, undermine, or degrade the ESA. Instead, support robust funding for strengthening implementation of this bedrock environmental law.

Sincerely,

{user_data~First Name} {user_data~Last Name}
