Tell Governor Parnell You Support Access to Your Fishing StreamsIn many states public access to fishing streams is blocked by the sale of land to private landowners who restrict access, require exorbitant fees, or rent space for short periods of time. House Bill 144 would protect and enhance the right of Alaskans to enjoy our unparalleled fishing streams into the future by helping ensure that fishing stream access is not sold or developed. The bill has passed both houses unanimously, and now we respectfully request that the Governor join Alaskans and Alaska’s fishing groups in support of this bill by signing this legislation into law. Polite letters to the Governor at sean.parnell @alaska.gov and [email protected] are encouraged so he knows the measure enjoys public support.

This bill is currently held up in the California Senate Appropriations Committee. Please e-mail your State senator to sign this bill into law and encourage others to do the same.178 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Matt Hagen

Protect Wildlife Health In ColoradoWe need to protect the natural movement, daily and seasonal, of wildlife in the US, by removing unneeded fencing, and altering fencing that is unfriendly for wildlife movement on public lands and give incentives to do so on private lands. We also need to make corridors over and under roads so that motorists are safer as well. This can create jobs in rural America, bring tourism to many areas, and increase the health of heard populations, which can increase hunting licences, and bring more tourism dollars.43 of 100 SignaturesCreated by GREGORY PHELPS

Twenty-year investigation of the harmful effects of diesel exhaust still unpublished.Publication of a landmark government study probing whether diesel engine exhaust causes lung cancer in miners — already 20 years in the making — has been delayed by industry and congressional insistence on seeing study data and documents before the public does. Particles emitted in diesel exhaust are ultrafine — "smaller than a virus." These diesel particles, coated with toxic chemicals and metals, can penetrate cells and cause cancer and other diseases.

Electric Vehicles are the answer.It's just a matter of time before big oil will take all your money. Lets face it EV's are the answer. Our enonomy is hurting because of gas prices and we can do something about it. EV's are being made today with a range of 300 miles and they will get better. It's time to get our politicians out of the pockets of big oil and get Obama to offer the big three auto makers more incentives to produce lower priced EV's. The air you breath will be cleaner and the Oil Co's will hate you for buying an EV.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Doug Tourville
