SaveAnimalsFacingExtinction.org – Than the Wildlife Park Rangers


Wildlife park rangers put their lives on the line every day to save the world’s most precious animals.

Sign on to thank them for protecting endangered species:

Bravery, sacrifice, and courage are the prerequisites for being a wildlife park ranger.

These incredible men and women are challenged each day with protecting some of the most endangered species in the world. And c, many of them go above and beyond the call of duty:

Two rangers at Fota Wildlife Park endanger themselves to rescue cheetah

Their heroism allowed the cheetah to run away uninjured. We’re so inspired by their dedication to saving beautiful and beloved animals!

Will you sign your name to thank wildlife park rangers for protecting endangered species?

Thank Wildlife Park Rangers. Sign Your Name >>

Take the cheetah, for example:

Right now, cheetahs — the oldest existing species of cats on earth — are threatened with extinction. We cannot let these incredible creatures die out after roaming our planet for FOUR MILLION years.[1]

But with a 90% mortality rate of cheetah cubs in the wild, these cats are on a direct path toward extinction.

That’s why the bravery of park rangers is more important today than ever before.

Every time a ranger protects an endangered species like the cheetah, we move one step closer toward saving these creatures.

So , please sign your name to thank wildlife park rangers for protecting endangered species:

CBOMG


“American Health Care Act will lower premiums & improve access to quality, affordable care.” That was House Speaker Paul Ryan’s take on the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office’s official score of Trumpcare. Only it seems like he may have read a different report because the CBO report was bad for House Republicans. So bad, in fact, that Speaker Ryan was called out for his comments on Fox News. Here are a few key numbers from the report showing just how bad Trumpcare is:

  • 24 million people will lose coverage over 10 years.
  • 14 million people will lose coverage by 2018.
  • 7 million fewer people will have employer-sponsored coverage in 10 years.
  • 14 million fewer people will have Medicaid coverage in 10 years.
  • $880 billion will be cut from Medicaid over 10 years.
  • 15 to 20 percent premium INCREASE in the individual market in 2018 and 2019.
What’s puzzling, House Republican leaders seemed to be expecting the CBO report to be this bad. Even before the CBO actually released its score, they began trying to discredit the office. But their strategy is pretty transparent. Congressional Republicans loved the CBO until it didn’t work for them. HHS Secretary Tom Price himself personally signed off on the appointment of the current CBO Director, but yesterday Price joined his House peers in attacking the CBO. These attacks are no more than a distraction, the reality is Trumpcare would cover fewer people at a higher price and it’s not just the CBO that says so, all these reports agree.

#MankaDhingra Sr Deputy King County Prosecutor,anti-domestic violence advocate &community leader


Patty Murray

Part of fighting extreme lawmakers and the Trump administration starts right here at home in Washington state — that’s why I’m excited to tell you about #MankaDhingra.

Our state senate is currently controlled by the Republican Party — but electing #MankaDhingra for state senate in the 45th legislative district could change all that. The stakes could not be higher. This election will determine who controls the majority in the Washington State Senate, and working locally here in Washington is one of the most effective ways of fighting back against President Trump and for our progressive values.

I’d love to tell you a little more about why I’m proud to support Manka:

She’s a Senior Deputy King County Prosecutor, award winning PTSA mom, anti-domestic violence advocate and community leader. Manka has spent her career fighting to protect the rights of others.

After beginning her career prosecuting sexually violent predators and domestic violence cases, Manka developed unique expertise in criminal justice reforms that address the needs of the mentally ill, veterans, and others for whom traditional jail — and the high costs of prosecution and incarceration — were neither reducing repeated criminal behavior nor helping restore lives.

Remember — fighting President Trump’s agenda starts at home, and I can think of no better person than Manka Dhingra to help us do that here in Washington state.

Make a donation today of $5 or more to help elect Manka Dhingra to the Washington State Senate.

Thanks,

Patty Murray
U.S. Senator
