Contact your Senator to get an increase in State Wildlife Grants !!!!!
I received this letter from the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership please read. This is a chance for your voice to be heard. There are some Senators on our side and we need to give them support when they stand up for us!!!
TRCP asks you to urge your U.S. Senators to support funding for the State Wildlife Grants program by signing the "Dear Colleague" letter
(
http://www.teaming.com/pdf/Senate_SWG_FY2008.pdf) being circulated by Senators Blanche Lincoln (D-AR) and John Warner
(R-VA) to members of the Senate requesting $85 million for State Wildlife Grants in FY2008.
This amount would restore funding to the FY2002 level, and is only $15.5 million more than the amount already included the President?s budget request.
We absolutely need your Senators to add their names to the Senate "Dear Colleague" letter by 5:00 PM EST on April 16th by contacting Todd Wooten in Senator Lincoln?s office (4-7499) or Tack Richardson in Senator Warner?s office (4-5494).

----THIS LETTER WILL BE SENT IN YOUR NAME---- Dear [decision maker name automatically inserted here],
The State Wildlife Grants Program is our nation's core program to prevent wildlife from becoming endangered. The program supports innovative, on-the-ground conservation projects in every state to conserve and restore wildlife.
I highly value wildlife, and so do many other residents and visitors to our community. Taking action to conserve wildlife also helps prevent conflict over endangered species, and it will ultimately save taxpayer dollars down the road.
Please support inclusion of $85 million for State Wildlife Grants funding in the Fiscal Year 2008 budget.
We ask that you add your name to the growing bipartisan list of signers of the Dear Colleague letter being circulated by Senators Blanche Lincoln (D-AR) and John Warne (R-VA).
Contact Todd Wooten in Senator Lincoln's office (4-7499) or Tack Richardson in Senator Warner's office (4-5494) by 5:00 PM EST on April 16 to add your name to the Dear Colleague letter.
