The elections are over, the lame-duck session of Congress has
begun - and the legendary salmon of the Snake and Columbia
Rivers in America's Pacific Northwest are in danger. The "old"
members of Congress will "finish business" in Nov. and Dec.
before the new members begin in January '07. There is lots of
talk right now of legislative 'riders' that would harm Northwest
salmon recovery.

If you haven't yet sent an email letter to your senators urging
them to stand up for salmon and steelhead, please do now!

WE NEED YOUR HELP to protect Northwest salmon and the Endangered
Species Act before the end of the year!

Please contact Senators Burr and
Dole today! Urge them to oppose any
anti-salmon or other anti-environmental legislative 'riders' in
Congress!

TAKE ACTION - http://ga0.org/campaign/antisalmonrider/siwn3x2rt5w3k3?

Salmon recovery in the mighty Columbia and Snake Rivers is the
shared responsibility of our Northwest states and our nation.
Reports from Washington, DC, however, indicate that Sen. Larry
Craig (R-ID) is preparing an anti-salmon legislative 'rider' to
exempt Idaho from its obligations to restore salmon. Recent
court decisions supporting real recovery have driven Sen. Craig
to seek new ways to assail salmon recovery efforts and to
protect special interests.

Instead of working to craft real solutions for our salmon and
fishing communities, like removing the four lower Snake River
dams, Sen. Craig appears more interested in misusing the
legislative process by attaching a last-minute anti-salmon
'rider' to undercut salmon recovery, the Endangered Species Act,
and our nation's legal system.

Please write your senators today - and urge them to protect
Northwest salmon and the Endangered Species Act!
