Sarah Palin: Stop Blocking Efforts to Protect Polar Bears
Target: Alaska Governor Sarah PalinSponsored by: Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund
Polar bears are starving to death, birthing fewer cubs and drowning as sea ice disappears and their search for food becomes more difficult. Scientists at the U.S. Geologic Survey say that polar bears could disappear from Alaska within 50 years, driven to extinction by habitat loss and global warming.
Our polar bears are threatened with extinction, yet Governor Sarah Palin has launched an all-out effort to eliminate protections for threatened polar bears – a move that could lead to more polar bears dying of starvation and drowning, and more being killed by wealthy trophy hunters.
As governor, Sarah Palin has been a disaster for polar bears, wolves and other wildlife. A heartbeat away from the presidency, she could do even worse. It's time for Sarah Palin to own up to the science and stop catering to Big Oil. Please sign our petition telling Governor Palin to protect polar bears.

This woman should be ashamed of herself by now! Polar bears need to live in peace in thier own habitat. Does sarah palin live in the Antartic? NO, so why does she care? Who is she really supporting here?

Dear Governor Palin, As someone who is gravely concerned about the future of America's struggling polar bears, I strongly urge you to stop obstructing vital protections for polar bears. The U.S. Geological Survey predicts that loss of summer sea ice -- crucial habitat for polar bears -- could lead to the demise of two-thirds of the world's polar bears by mid-century, including all of Alaska's polar bears. The Bush administration has proposed listing the polar bears as threatened under the ESA to help protect polar bear habitat from threats such as oil and gas development. Nonetheless, you have actively opposed the listing of the polar bear despite the fact that Alaska's top marine mammal biologists agreed with the federal scientists who believed the bear should be listed. You wrote to the Secretary of Interior urging him not to list the bear on the ground it might hurt the state's oil- and gas-dependent economy. After the bear was listed, you filed suit seeking to overturn the listing of polar bears

I thought you were a christian . Why are you not doing our first God given duty to protect animals? Being myself a christian I am disgusted with the hunting of polar bears and I would hope you would be too! So many christian women like myself look up to you to do the right thing to save animals.

Do you seriously have any compassion at all? Sincerely? These animals are JUST AS MUCH a part of this world as US HUMANS are, yet they are treated as though they have no importance or right to walk this Earth at all. As I said before in a previous petition, of all the things, of all the SERIOUS issues we have facing this country, you are spending your time as a leader trying to enforce the aided death of an animal race?? We have an education system that is severely neglected, we have radical agendas being executed in the office of our leaders, not to mention the taxation without representation or perhaps maybe all of these immigrant issues we have plaguing our country. GET OFF YOU BEHIND AND DO SOMETHING PRODUCTION AND BENEFICIAL TO OUR COUNTRY instead of spending time trying to make it easier for an animal race to die out. GROW UP or GET OUT of office.
