In response to work by the Center for Biological Diversity and our partners, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has proposed more than 375,000 acres of protected critical habitat for mountain caribou in northern Idaho and northeastern Washington -- a victory for these rare alpine animals, but not a complete one.

Caribou once ranged across the upper Midwest and Northeast, but the northern Rocky Mountains are now their last stronghold in the contiguous United States. The proposed protected habitat should be expanded to include areas where the caribou formerly ranged.

Please write to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and voice your support for protecting more of the caribou's last habitat in the lower 48.

Hey,

Democratic Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has recently signaled a
disturbing potential willingness to adopt a plan that could cut
benefits from Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

These are three of America's most successful programs, and they've
been under relentless attack from corporate Republicans and Democrats
who want to see them privatized and their benefits -- which millions
of families rely on -- slashed in the process.

Cuts to Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security benefits are
unacceptable, and they shouldn’t be put on the table by Democrats for
any reason. Leader Pelosi must stand up for these crucial programs.

I just signed Progressives United's petition to Leader Pelosi asking
her to reject cutting Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid benefits,
and we can have a bigger impact if you sign, too. Take action here:

Hello, The climate movement is about to take a giant step forward: The EPA has proposed the first national standard to limit carbon pollution. This is exciting: And we have a petition for you to show your support. http://forms.climaterealityproject.org/push-button-save-planet-taf Carbon pollution is causing the climate crisis. That weird, dirty weather you’ve been having – blame carbon pollution. Where does this pollution come from? The answer is simple: 40% of all carbon pollution in the United States comes from power plants. If this rule goes into effect, no new dirty, climate-change-causing power plants will be built. So, now that you’re up to speed, what do you say? Will you tell the EPA you support the first-ever limit on carbon pollution? It’s easy. Just sign our petition to show your support: http://forms.climaterealityproject.org/push-button-save-planet-taf Thank you!

On the one year anniversary of Osama bin Laden's death, President Obama made a surprise visit to Afghanistan. There he announced that we signed a Strategic Partnership Agreement with the Afghanistan government, and reiterated his plan to gradually draw-down our forces, ending the war in 2014.

We're always glad to hear the President talk about ending the war, instead of expanding it — as Mitt Romney and the right wing Republicans would have it.

But the end of 2014 is not soon enough. At a time when we are forced to make tough sacrifices at home — we simply cannot afford to spend more blood and treasure in Afghanistan. It's time to end America's longest war now.

Will you sign our petition calling on Congress to bring our troops home to safety and end the war now?

Recently Obama came under fire from Republicans who called his withdrawal timeline an "arbitrary deadline." But it certainly isn't arbitrary to the thousands of families waiting for their sons and daughters to come home, out of harm's way.

And a recent Washington Post/ABC News poll shows a majority of Americans agree, with 60 percent of Americans who favor bringing our troops home sooner, rather than later.

Setting a specific timeline shows bold leadership on Obama's part and is a strong contrast to that of Mitt Romney who said he would not set a withdrawal timeline for Afghanistan — instead calling for an open ended combat commitment in Afghanistan, a never ending war.

But every day we stay there, more money and more lives are lost. Why wait till 2014? We need to end the war in Afghanistan NOW.

Last night the President said, "this time of war began in Afghanistan, and this is where it will end." We couldn't agree more - click here to tell Congress we can't wait, it's time to end the war NOW.

Dear Friend,

For several days, activists in New Zealand occupied a Shell drill ship
and prevented it from leaving port, exposing Shell's efforts to move
their operations to one of the last pristine environments on the
planet -- the Arctic. The same thing happened a few weeks later in
Finland.

I've already joined these activists and sent a message to Shell
myself. You can do the same by clicking on the link below...
