BP Purposefully Killing Sea Turtles in Gulf

Dear Friends,

News has just emerged from the Gulf Coast that BP is burning endangered sea turtles alive.

A boat captain who has been leading efforts to rescue the endangered turtles says BP has blocked his crews from entering the areas where the animals are trapped, effectively shutting down the rescue operation.

BP is using "controlled burns" to contain the oil spill. Shrimp boats create a corral of oil by dragging together fire-resistant booms and then lighting the enclosed "burn box" on fire. If turtles are not removed from the area before the fire is lit, they are literally burned alive.

Veto Anti-Women's Healthcare: HB 1143 in Florida

Governor Christ,

Please, veto HB 1143, which outrageously restricts women's access to reproductive health care. HB 1143 interferes with private health care decisions between a woman and her doctor and restricts private health insurance from offering abortion coverage. HB 1143 was never vetted through a single committee in either the House or Senate, nor was any public comment allowed on the bill.

This legislation will result in more women receiving less health care and does nothing to prevent unintended pregnancy or reduce the need for abortion.

VETO HB 1143 NOW!. . . DO NOT let the right wing fringe throw our society back to the middle ages with their nonsensical nihilism. . .
