Help Protect the Northern Rockies Ecosystem

The Northern Rockies ecosystem overlaps five states-Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington and Wyoming-but all Americans own the affected land, Many Americans don't know that their tax dollars are being spent to subsidize activities that are harmful to the land, water, and wildlife in the Northern Rockies ecosystem. Once NREPA becomes law, we'll have some names to suggest of elected officials to have mountains named after them. But right now those mountains, water, and wildlife need your help.

In a world where a single vote can decide an election, your voice matters, and the Northern Rockies Ecosystem Protection Act (NREPA) needs your voice! If you have friends or relatives living in one or more of the five NREPA states which include Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington and Wyoming, please forward an email to them to ask them to contact their U.S. Senators and U.S. Representative and urge them to vote for H.R. 3334, the Northern Rockies Ecosystem Protection Act (NREPA). Your voice will help overcome the cacophony of fear. You are one of the smart people who care enough to make the world a better place. Let your voice restore harmony by taking action to save the Northern Rockies!

Thank you very much.
