Polar bears
are dying and will soon be wiped out entirely if we don't take immediate action to curb global warming. One of George W.
Bush's 11th-hour decisions greatly weakened protections for the polar bear and other species under the Endangered
Species Act by issuing regulations reducing protections for the polar bear and exempting greenhouse gas emissions -- the
number-one threat to the bear -- from regulation.
Congress, however, just passed special legislation granting President Barack Obama's Interior Secretary Ken Salazar 60
days to revoke the damaging Bush regulations with the stroke of a pen.
Please sign the the Center for Biological Diversity's petition and pass it on to a friend today.
With your help, we'll reach our goal to get 50,000 signatures and convince Interior Secretary Salazar to revoke the Bush
regulations before the May 9, 2009 deadline.
