Instist that Bonneville Power Breach the 4 Snake River Dams

The southern resident Orcas are on the brink of starvation and possible extinction. Interesting when Bonneville Power created the dams in 1970 this year also the salmon runs in the Pacific NW began to decline at such a rate that they became endangered soon after. We need to demand that the dams be breached to return the much needed Chinook salmon runs to the Columbia so that we can save the Orcas in the Puget Sound and Salish Sea.

Why is this important?

The southern resident Orcas are in dire need of food. The time is NOW to act. Governor Inslee's Task Force is working to take action by October, but we need to get the general public involved now to make a clear statement to BPA that they MUST breach the damns starting NOW.
