1. TAKE ACTION - Help Protect Important Lake Erie Habitat
U.S. Representatives Marcy Kaptur (OH) and John Dingell (MI) have introduced
legislation which would establish an International Wildlife Refuge to
protect the remaining high-quality wildlife habitats of the western basins
of Lake Erie before they are lost to further development and to restore and
enhance degraded wildlife habitats.
YOUR letter of support is vitally important in establishing the proposed
International Wildlife Refuge. Please send a letter to Rep. Marcy Kaptur
today in support of her bill. Your letter will be presented to the U.S.
House of Representatives at a hearing on the bill, tentatively scheduled for
this Thursday, July 18th.
**It's easy to send a letter to Rep. Kaptur. Just go to
http://actionnetwork.org/campaign/Lake_Erie_Wildlife_Refuge/. Rep. Kaptur
would like to submit as many letters of support as possible, so please pass
this on to anyone who may be interested in establishing an International
Wildlife Refuge on Lake Erie. For more information, contact us at
ohio@xxxxxxxxxxx or (614) 224-3303.
