Jeb Bush pushes for funding from Federal Government for Everglades Restoration. 

You have probably read that the Florida Legislators have passed a funding measure to provide monies for the restoration of the Everglades and Lake Okeechobee. They are to be commended on their action in doing what the people of not only Florida but the entire United States have demanded. The next big hurdle is to get the Federal Government to fund their share of the project. As always we have Senators and Representatives wanting to fund their own small pet projects instead of meeting head on the single biggest environmental issue today, the restoration and saving of the Everglades and surrounding area. Please sign and email this letter immediately to let them know in Washington that we the people demand that they act responsibly and fund this project before it is to late.

Jeb Bush made a trip to Washing DC the week of May 11th to push for funding. He was met with some opposition even though the Chairman Sen. Ben Smith (NH) is pushing for approval. Outdoor lovers, fishermen, bird watchers and hunters will all benefit from this project. Let them know that you support saving one of natures greatest treasures.
