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.
