President Obama: Reform Environmental Impact AssessmentEnvironmental impact assessments – supposed to predict the likely impacts of proposed projects on the environment under laws like the U.S. National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) are today routinely performed by for-profit consulting firms working for the proponents of the projects whose impacts they are supposed to predict. As a result, they are often if not always biased toward minimizing project impacts, though often only after extensive, expensive, sometimes unnecessary study. Critical public comments on such assessments are routinely dismissed without serious consideration. This leads to disasters like the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe. The system badly needs reform.637 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Thomas F. King

Protect Maine's North Woods From Reckless DevelopmentIf you've been to Maine's North Woods, you know what's at stake. Generations of Mainers have learned to love the outdoors while exploring Maine's 10 million acres of open space—from the Rangeley Lakes to Moosehead Lake to Mount Katahdin. But Governor Paul LePage is threatening to destroy the North Woods as we know it by letting counties drop out of the Land Use Regulation Commission, which protects the North Woods from reckless development. A committee has already started considering the bill.5,059 of 6,000 SignaturesCreated by Alexandra Fields

Big Birds & Big Views, Not Big Towers on Brockway MountainA cell phone tower has been proposed for Brockway Mountain in Copper Harbor, Michigan. While we recognize the need to provide cell coverage to Michigan's northernmost community, particularly for emergency services, we believe that the proposed tower site and height of the tower should be reconsidered. In addition to being one of the most scenic locations in the Midwest--if not country--and a tourist destination to travelers of all ages and backgrounds, Brockway Mountain is the final stopping point for 14,000 raptors of 17 species, including bald eagles, golden eagles, and peregrine falcons, before traversing Lake Superior during their springtime migration. The peak of the proposed tower would loom nearly 750 feet above Lake Superior, 220 feet above the mountaintop. Instead of the familiar ridge line along the southern edge of the mountain, motorists traveling north on US-41 would be greeted by the tower's massive self-supporting prominence and flashing beacons. We agree with county officials, residents, and visitors that public safety should be priority number one. We submit, however, that emergency services and cell coverage in general can be provided to Copper Harbor and the surrounding area in a less invasive manner--to humans and wildlife alike--through a number of shorter towers located on nearby and less culturally significant hilltops and/or by other means. We ask that the proposed Brockway tower be relocated and height of the proposed tower be reconsidered before one of Michigan's great natural landmarks is compromised. Don't settle for the cheapest, easiest cell company offer. Please protect our treasure.3,579 of 4,000 SignaturesCreated by Friends of Brockway Mountain

Defend Climate Science Against DistortionClimate change has been described as a "critical concern" by Ronald Reagan, "destructive" by George Schultz, and "menacing" by Margaret Thatcher. John McCain has spoken of "all the endless trouble that global warming will bring," and warned that "time is short and the dangers are great." Yet Rush Limbaugh recklessly twists the truth and dismisses climate science as a leftist conspiracy. We owe it to all those who suffer the consequences now and in the future to condemn Mr. Limbaugh's distortions in the strongest possible terms.209 of 300 SignaturesCreated by Marc Anderson
