Cheney: Don't Block Ocean Habitat Protection Plan!

Instead of looking out for the health of our environment, Cheney is putting fishing and dirty energy exploration interests first. Bush's marine monuments plan would prevent degradation due to global warming, overfishing and pollution - and is by far his most environmentally friendly proposal he has made while in office.
Just when Bush is on the verge of doing something right for our environment, don't let Cheney spoil it! Tell Vice President Cheney to withdraw his objections to President Bush's pro-ocean policy!
Dear Vice President Cheney,
I am disappointed to hear of your objections to President Bush's plan to promote a marine monument off of the central and western Pacific Ocean.
As described in President Bush's August memorandum, these two areas support "endemic, depleted, migratory, endangered and threatened species of fish, giant clams, crabs, marine mammals, sea turtles, seabirds, migratory shorebirds and corals that are rapidly vanishing elsewhere in the world." We cannot risk the further depletion of these species.
Indeed, the long-term commercial interests you are fighting for are best served by protecting the stock of fish and other sea creatures we already have. I urge you to listen to the scientific experts and withdraw your objections to the proposed marine monument.

In early January, 2009, President George W. Bush designated vast tracts of American-controlled Pacific Ocean islands, reefs and sea floor as marine national monuments.
The protected zones, including parts of the deep Mariana Trench and an area near the Equator and American Samoa, span over 195,000 square miles, or an area larger than the states of Oregon and Washington combined.
