Dear Members,
Some of you no doubt heard about the Senate's
controversial vote last week to allow oil drilling in the
Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, I want to tell you about
a sneaky assault on the environment being waged largely
outside of the public eye -- President Bush's aggressive
campaign to stack the federal courts with anti-environment
judges. Sign the petition: http://www.care2.com/go/z/22403

The U.S. Senate is gearing up for a showdown vote on the
nomination of William Myers, a former mining industry
lobbyist, to be a senior federal judge. Even though the
Senate rejected Myers' nomination last year, Bush has
re-nominated him, betting that a bigger Republican
majority since last November's election will help Myers
gain approval this time around.

Myers' record is one of anti-environmental extremism --
he's called parts of the Clean Water Act unconstitutional,
and consistently sided with big corporate polluters when
he worked as a Bush-appointed Interior Department official.
If confirmed, Myers will likely be undermining
environmental laws for decades to come!

The full Senate is expected vote on the appointment as
early as next week - so your action is urgently needed!

Tell your Senators to reject a lifetime judicial
appointment for William Myers! 

Take action: http://www.care2.com/go/z/22403

This letter arrived in my email. I sent it, as sent to me, with a few changes.
