Newt Gingrich, Big Oil Strike Out at Polar Bears

From: Marcia Lesky, Defenders of Wildlife

Speak Out for Polar Bears

A recent White House report predicts that climate change could cause Alaska's polar bears to disappear from the wild within 75
years. [1]

Please call your senators and urge them to support decisive action to reduce carbon emissions and help our wildlife survive the
impacts of global warming:

* Sen. Bill Nelson - (202) 224-5274 - http://billnelson.senate.gov/contact/email.cfm

* Sen. Mel Martinez - (202) 224-3041 - http://martinez.senate.gov/public/?p=EmailSenatorMartinez

Fast Facts on Wildlife and Global Warming

* Scientists warn that mid-range climate warming could cause 20-30 percent of the Earth's plants and animals to go extinct between
now and 2050. [2]

* One out of every 20 jobs in America is linked to wildlife related activities. [3]

Backed by Big Oil's money, far-right media star Newt Gingrich is using scare tactics and misinformation to mobilize hundreds of
thousands of his supporters in opposition to common-sense efforts to address global warming -- the single greatest threat that
America's wildlife faces today.

Before your senators leave Washington, DC for the August recess at the end of the week, I need your help to counter Gingrich's
Big-Oil-funded efforts and provide a voice for polar bears and other animals in the debate on climate change.

Please contact your senators today and deliver this message:

Climate change poses an unprecedented threat to human communities, fish and wildlife habitat and the natural resources we depend on
-- resources like clean air and water -- and recreational opportunities such as fishing, hunting, boating and hiking.

As someone who cares about wildlife and the irreplaceable value of our natural world, ask your senator to pass climate change
legislation that will:

* Significantly reduce greenhouse gas emmissions in the U.S., and

* Provide 5% dedicated funding from the funds generated under the bill to safeguard fish, wildlife and the natural resources that we
need to survive.

Please fill out this quick survey to let me know that you called your senators.

Based on your feedback, I will be following up with high-priority senate offices to remind them that you called and that you care
about global warming and wildlife.

Newt Gingrich is putting the full weight of his multimillion-dollar organization behind efforts to derail action on climate change.
and he's getting plenty of help from his buddies in Big Oil.

In the first six months of this year, Gingrich's deceptively-named group, American Solutions for Winning the Future, accepted at
least $460,000 dollars in contributions from oil interests, according to a report filed with the Internal Revenue Service on Friday.
[4]

During that same time period, Gingrich's group lobbied against the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 and led the charge
for more offshore oil drilling, oil shale extraction and other dirty drilling schemes.

Newt Gingrich has Big Oil. And Big Oil has Newt Gingrich. Now our wildlife needs you.

Please call your senators now.

What's Next for Polar Bears and Global Warming? American Clean Energy and Security Act

From: Robert Dewey, Defenders of Wildlife

Help Save Polar Bears

Climate change could drive Alaska's polar bears to extinction within 75 years, according to a recent White House report.

Last Friday, your representative voted against the American Clean Energy and Security Act. Please take a moment to voice your
disappointment.
http://action.defenders.org/site/Survey?SURVEY_ID=14700&ACTION_REQUIRED=URI_ACTION_USER_REQUESTS&autologin=true

Rep. Cliff Stearns - (202) 225-5744 or (352) 351-8777 - https://writerep.house.gov/writerep/welcome.shtml

Late Friday, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the American Clean Energy and Security Act, historic legislation that takes
the first vital steps to address climate change -- and help our threatened polar bears and other climate-sensitive species that are
already feeling the heat.

This important victory would not have been possible without the efforts of the tens of thousands of Defenders activists -- caring
people like you -- who took the time over the last few months to call or write their U.S. Representatives.

Unfortunately, your representative, Rep. Cliff Stearns , was one of 212 Members of Congress who voted against this vital legislation
to address global warming and help wildlife.

Please take a moment to voice your concern about your representative's vote and encourage him or her to start taking the threat of
global warming to our natural resources more seriously:

Just deliver this simple message:

I am calling to say that global warming is one of the greatest and most urgent challenges we face today. As your constituent I am
greatly disappointed to see that you failed to help take steps toward addressing it by voting against the American Clean Energy and
Security Act on June 26th.

This bill will take strong steps toward reducing the greenhouse gas emissions that are triggering climate change and will work work
to safeguard natural resources and wildlife threatened by the changes already set in motion. While significantly more funding will
ultimately be needed to safeguard wildlife and natural resources, this bill will put us on the right path.

We need real leadership in Congress and not elected officials who only put up roadblocks to forward movement.

I know that this is the first of many steps we must take to address climate change and protect wildlife and natural resources in a
warming world and I hope that you will take this into consideration in your future decisions on this critical issue.

Thank you...

Even though this landmark legislation has been passed by the House, our fight is far from finished.

As the debate on climate change moves to the Senate, you can expect legislative shenanigans from Big Oil's high-priced lobbyists,
more distortion and propaganda from the big-time polluters and more stalling tactics from their allies in the Senate.

We overcame these challenges during the House debate, and we can do it again. Please stay tuned in the days and weeks ahead for more
ways that you can help our polar bears and other wildlife.

For the moment, though, please take just a moment right now to hold your representative accountable for failing to stand up for our
polar bears and other wildlife by voting against the American Clean Energy and Security Act.

On behalf of all of us at Defenders of Wildlife, thank you for all the work you do to protect our wildlife. We couldn't be a voice
for threatened and endangered species without your help.

With Gratitude,
Robert Dewey
Vice President, Government Affairs
Defenders of Wildlife
