From a mail received from the Defenders of Wildlife: "POMBO MOVING LEGISLATION THAT WOULD CRIPPLE ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT" Yesterday the influential House Resources Committee voted 26-12 to advance a bill that would severely undermine the Endangered Species Act. The legislation, introduced earlier this week by Representative Richard Pombo (R-CA), would dismantle key protections for wolves, bald eagles and other endangered wildlife. [Including the BFF] The full House could vote on this bill as soon as Tuesday. Please send a message to your Representative right now urging him or her to vote against the Pombo bill.
