Action Alert from Restore the Delta

February 11, 2010

Call Senator Diane Feinstein Now and Let Her Know That You Support Endangered Species Protections for Delta Fisheries and Delta Communities

Restore the Delta has heard from several sources that Senator Diane Feinstein is considering whether or not to sponsor a waiver of the Endangered Species Act for increased pumping from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.

While neither Senator Feinstein nor her staff have made such an announcement as of this moment, Sara Woolf, representative of the Westlands Water District, made such a claim as of this morning on talk radio in Fresno: http://kmj580.com/common/global_audio/174/16621.mp3

Increased pumping from the Delta would indeed finish off a number of native species, help to further destroy the commerical salmon fishing industry in California, and significantly worsen water quality for Delta farmers.

Please call Senator Feinstein's staff at the San Francisco Office and let them know that they need to defend the Endangered Species Act for the fisheries and people of the Delta, as well as the majority of Californians who support strong protection of our state's natural resources. The number is (415) 393-0707.

Thank you!
