The Endangered Species Act is broken and I know this first hand. The econuts are abusing the hell out of it and it needs to stop!
There is a petition at:

<a href="http://www.PetitionOnline.com/esa2004/petition.html" target=_blank&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000066&gt;http://www.PetitionOnline.com/esa2004/petition.html&lt;/FONT&gt;</A>

to help our elected officials make the needed changes to this Act and make it work. Please read it, and if you
agree, please sign and forward this message on. This Act affects All Americans in one way or another.

Good science strengthens the ESA, it does not weaken it. It means better results for the true Endangered
species, and for human activity. Scientific peer review often saves money by exposing better and more cost
effective ways to help species and avoid costly mistakes.

On a personal note: I am not sure if online petitions actually do much but it's worth a shoot and takes less than minute to do.

 

Also, anyone that can be in Carlsbad, CA next Friday morning (June 18) there is a huge ralley planned to protest the ESA at the Fish and Wildlife Service.
