President Bush: Farewell, and Clean Up Your Mess!
- by: Defenders of Wildlife
- recipient: President George Bush
Our wildlife and the habitat they depend on deserve leaders who are good stewards of the land, not beholden to corporate interests. But President Bush, Vice President Cheney, and their anti-wildlife cronies such as Gale Norton and Dirk Kempthorne have made a mess – and a mockery – of our environmental regulations and wildlife protections.
Over the past seven years, the Bush/Cheney Administration has worked to:
And that's only a partial list!
With less than a year to go, President Bush and his administration should take this opportunity to clean up the mess they have made by supporting comprehensive legislation to address climate change, immediately listing imperiled species such as polar bears and right whales under the Endangered Species Act, and protecting the Arctic National Wildlife and our roadless National Forests.
Send President Bush a farewell message and urge him to spend his last few months in office correcting the damage done by his administration.
Over the past seven years, the Bush/Cheney Administration has worked to:
- Block meaningful efforts to address climate change now threatening polar bears, penguins and other wildlife.
- Eliminate vital protections for endangered wolves in the Greater Yellowstone Area.
- Roll back protections for millions of acres of roadless areas in our National Forests, paving the way for the destruction of habitat that wolves, grizzly bears and countless other species need to survive.
- Expand destructive oil and gas drilling off our coasts and in sensitive areas such as the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, threatening polar bears, sea otters and other wildlife.
And that's only a partial list!

Dear President Bush –
As you embark on your last year in office, I urge you to correct the damage your administration has done to our wildlife and environment.

Over the next few months, please support:
Comprehensive legislation that reduces carbon emissions that contribute to global warming and eliminates our nation's dependence on fossil fuels
Legislative and Administrative efforts to protect wildlife, like polar bears, that is threatened by global warming -- and the habitat it needs to survive.
Immediate listing of imperiled species that clearly qualify for protection under the Endangered Species Act. Ample evidence exists to extend legal protections to polar bears, right whales and red knots.
Responsible management of America's natural resources, based on sound science -- not the profit margins of oil, timber and other special interests. The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, our National Forests and other wild places must be protected.
Sincerely,
