NET.org >> Endangered Species Act >> Critter Carols

Yesterday I posted an article about the National Security Archive. IT featured a keynote address from Bill Moyers where he mentioned (almost in passing) the threat to the Endangered Species Act. This evening I checked my mail and noticed this email from the National Envrionmental Trust:

Hi, I'm from the National Environmental Trust and saw that you've written about the Endangered Species Act recently. We thought you might be interested in our latest holiday creation:



Despite its extraordinary success, the Endangered Species Act is the target of an elaborate public relations campaign sponsored by big industries with the most to gain from a weakened law: big logging, mining, grazing, homebuilding, and utility companies.

Listen as the NET Off-Key Singers "explain" the issues in sure-fire holiday hits, including "The Lobbyists Are Coming to Town," "The Litigation Song" and the ever-popular "Let Them Die." Thrills! Chills! Critters! (And we might all learn something before it's done.) Go to http://www.net.org/esa/crittercarols.vtml or Google "Critter Carols."

[For extra fun, be sure to run your mouse over the critters on the page -- some of them have surprises.]

So, I checked it out. It's kinda cute. Although the dissonant singing will bring a tear to your eye (in pain, not the good way), and it's a form letter, it's worth checking out.

With or without the painful singing, the ESA is a law we need to keep.

Check out here for NET.org's report on the Endangered Species Act.

Their website is pretty nice too.

I'm off to get asprin.
