Obama, Say No To Commercial Whaling!

The Obama Administration is proposing a deal that would re-open commercial whaling for the first time in over two decades.
In 2008, Obama campaigned for a stronger moratorium on whaling. Now he is backing away from his promise to save the whales, and instead moving towards a deal that would benefit corrupt Japanese business ventures.
We will not stand by and watch commercial whaling paint our oceans red with the blood of whales. Tell President Obama that this is outrageous! Commercial whaling is cruel and unacceptable.
Dear President Obama,
I am outraged that your Administration is championing a deal with the International Whaling Commission that would re-open commercial whaling for the first time in over two decades.

Like most Americans, I too love whales! I'm ashamed that the leader of my country is supporting such a cruel and unacceptable pro-whaling position when millions of Americans are deeply against it.
Be the leader that you promised to be by ensuring that the US opposes any deal that would legitimize commercial whaling by granting quotas to Japan and its whaling allies. Instead, I urge you to support Australia's proposal, which would end whaling in the Southern Ocean once and for all. There is very widespread and bi-partisan US support for whale conservation.
Millions of Americans are counting on you and we'll be waiting for a reply.
Sincerely,
[Your name here]
