Navy to deafen 15,900 whales and dolphins and kill 1,800 more

By Lyndia Storey (Contact)

To be delivered to: U.S. Navy EIS Comments

The Goal is … 500,000 Signatures before July 10

Navy to deafen 15,900 whales and dolphins and kill 1,800 more -> http://signon.org/s/wJGZDW #signon

Stop the killing of 1,800 whales and dolphins and the deafening of 15,900 more by ceasing the operation of the Navy’s underwater sound system in the Hawaiian Islands, the California and Atlantic Coasts, and the Gulf of Mexico.

The Navy is required to include comments on their Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) re: the use of high frequency underwater sound for testing in Hawaii, the California and Atlantic Coasts, and the Gulf of Mexico. According to their estimates it will deafen more than 15,900 whales and dolphins and kill 1,800 more over the next 5 years. Whales and dolphins depend on sound to navigate and live. Your signature and comment will have to be included in the EIS and could stop this Naval program, potentially saving the lives of these ocean creatures. The comments must be in by July 10, 2012.

NEW goal – We need 250,000 signatures
There are currently 244,386 signatures

a message from Jay Inslee … For Gov. of Washington State

07/06/2012 Nativegrl77

I hope you enjoyed yesterday’s celebration of our nation’s independence — the sun certainly helped!

Our campaign, led by our tremendous team of field organizers, visited close to 30 Fourth of July events across the state yesterday. It was inspiring to see so many Washingtonians decked out in their best red, white, and blue, celebrating our proud national heritage together. It was also an opportunity to thank the members of our Armed Forces and their families for all that they do to protect the independence we celebrate each Fourth of July.

It’s an important reminder, especially during campaign season: no matter what our political beliefs, we’re all Americans.

I’m particularly proud of our organizing team — Team Inslee was out in force across the state! Thank you to all of our supporters who shared their day with us.

And of course, thanks to you again for standing with our campaign. We couldn’t do it without you.

Very truly yours,

Jay Inslee

They want to take away our health care

NARAL Pro-Choice America

HELP US REACH 2,000 NEW MEMBERS AND RECEIVE A WINDOW CLING!

DONATE NOW

In case you thought the War on Women was letting up, think again.
Just hours after the Supreme Court delivered a tremendous victory for women’s health by upholding the Affordable Care Act last week, the anti-choice leadership in the House scheduled a vote to repeal it. The health-care law makes it easier for women to get the health care they need, and attacking it is only one front in anti-choice politicians’ War on Women.
Also, in just the last few weeks, the U.S. House of Representatives lined up no fewer than five bills attacking choice. And the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) organized nationwide rallies to oppose birth-control coverage.
We must fight back against this outrageous anti-woman agenda. That is why we set a goal to gain 2,000 new members to fight back with us. We’re so close to our goal — and we need you to put us over the top.

Will you make a special contribution to NARAL Pro-Choice America right now to help us reach our critical goal of 2,000 new members?
Carmen, the scary truth is that we are facing anti-choice extremists who are gaining more and more momentum every day. If we don’t fight back, anti-choice politicians and groups will continue to interfere in women’s health and lives.
Anti-choice groups like the USCCB and their extreme allies in Congress are out of touch with our values and priorities. It is critical that we beat back their attempts to repeal the health-care law and take away a woman’s right to make decisions about her own body. That is why we need your immediate help to face these extremists and protect choice at all levels of government.
Will you help us reach our goal of 2,000 new members by making a contribution to NARAL Pro-Choice America today? Help support all the work we do to protect choice.
The stakes are simply too high for us to sit on the sidelines and let these anti-choice extremists continue to roll back women’s rights. We need your help immediately. And, if you donate today, you will receive a special NARAL Pro-Choice America window cling as a thank-you for your support.
Will you help us fight extremists and reach our membership goal by donating right now?
We will not stand by as anti-choice groups and politicians perpetuate their War on Women. Thank you for all that you do to stand up for women’s freedom and privacy.
Sincerely,
