Bring Back the "Twilight" Wolves
Target: Washington Governor Chris GregoireSponsored by: Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund
Wolves could soon be making a return to Washington state, including the Olympic National Park peninsula... and not just on the silver screen.
Wolves play a big part in the new movie Twilight: New Moon©, but these magnificent animals have played an even bigger role on Washington's Olympic Peninsula, the real-world setting of the Twilight© movies and books.
Tragically, the extensive wolf extermination campaigns of the late 1800s eliminated these animals from the Pacific Northwest landscape – tearing a gaping hole in the natural balance and cultural tapestry that makes Washington so special. Now wolves are beginning to return to Washington, and state officials are considering how to best manage them.
Please sign our petition below to Washington Governor Chris Gregoire and let her know that America wants wolves in Washington!

Bring Back the "Twilight" Wolves Dear Governor Gregoire, I strongly support efforts to fully restore wolves to Washington State. DOMINION means GOVERNORSHIP and STEWARDSHIP! You and I are STEWARDS of GOD's creations! It is heartbreaking that the Emerald State has been deprived of wolves since the extensive wolf extermination campaigns of the late 1800s eliminated these magnificent animals from Washington, and I was very happy to learn that two packs have made their way back to eastern Washington. These packs -- and the wolves that may someday follow -- represent a golden opportunity for Washington leaders like you to fully restore wolves to their rightful place in the beautiful wild spaces of Washington, including the coastal range. Historically, wolves have not only played an important role in balancing ecosystems in Washington. They also figure prominently in Washington's rich cultural heritage, particularly in the creation stories of the Quileute Native American tribe of coastal Washington. As the state considers the fate of wolves in Washington, I strongly urge you to recognize the important value -- and potential tourism dollars from wolf enthusiasts that wolf restoration efforts could bring to the state of Washington. Wolves are beautiful creatures and do deserve a place to live peacefully on earth. Washington state should be able to have a good portion of wolves. A problem exists when the government declares a type of war on a species. An example would be the war against wild horses by the Bureau of Land Management. And of course the war on wolves in Utah. I urge you and beg you to take proper action. take a stand for the defensless as you would for your own family. Thank you for considering this letter. Concerned Citizen.

Wolves are beautiful creatures and do deserve a place to live peacefully on earth. Washington state should be able to have a good portion of wolves. I can understand, however, that there may have to be a compromise if wolves are a threat to livestock and people. Some type of culling may eventually necessary. A problem exists when the government declares a type of war on a species. An example would be the war against wild horses by the Bureau of Land Management. And of course the war on wolves in Utah.

In the Bhaiṣajyaguruvaidūryaprabharāja Sūtra, the Medicine Buddha is described as having entered into a state of samadhi called "Eliminating All the Suffering and Afflictions of Sentient Beings." From this samadhi state he spoke the Medicine Buddha Dharani.[1] namo bhagavate bhaiṣajyaguru vaiḍūryaprabharājāya tathāgatāya arhate samyaksambuddhāya tadyathā: oṃ bhaiṣajye bhaiṣajye mahābhaiṣajya-samudgate svāhā. The last line of the dharani is used as the Medicine Buddha's mantra. Medicine Buddha Sutra, as a bodhisattva who made 12 great vows. On achieving Buddhahood, he became the Buddha of the eastern realm of Vaidūryanirbhāsa, or "Pure Lapis Lazuli". The Twelve Vows of the Medicine Buddha upon attaining Enlightenment, according to the Medicine Buddha Sutra[1] are: To illuminate countless realms with his radiance, enabling anyone to become a Buddha just like him. To awaken the minds of sentient beings through his light of lapis lazuli. To provide the sentient beings with whatever material needs they require. To correct heretical views and inspire beings toward the path of the Bodhisattva. To help beings follow the Moral Precepts, even if they failed before. To heal beings born with deformities, illness or other physical sufferings. To help relieve the destitute and the sick. To help women who wish to be reborn as men achieve their desired rebirth. To help heal mental afflictions and delusions. To help the oppressed be free from suffering. To relieve those who suffer from terrible hunger and thirst. To help clothe those who are destitute and suffering from cold and mosquitoes.
