7-16-15 What A Group!

They met at the lighthouse this evening to show their support of the efforts to get the lower Snake River Dams breached...for the sake of the salmon, the environment, the whales, the people!!

Annie, Mary Ann, and Keelan were here in spirit from Idaho and the mid west - their pictures, wearing their t-shirts, are being held up by Mark and AJ. Many others were here in spirit too and some will be on island in the near future...I imagine there will be lots of group photos of people with their T-shirts on...I'll be carrying my camera around to catch all I can...

If you haven't already, it's important to write to President Obama about the breaching of these dams.

Also read the excellent summary written by Jim Waddell and Kevin Lewis of Idaho Rivers United as to why these Snake River Dams need to be breached now.

Obama asked to issue Executive Order to breach the lower Snake River Dams

Southern Resident Killer Whale Salmon Initiative

May 29, 2015 — We have some excellent and hopeful news, but need your help NOW to continue the momentum!

This week a powerful ally had the opportunity to ask President Obama to issue an Executive Order to breach the four lower Snake River dams. The President was presented with a packet of information (including Southern Resident orca adoptions for his daughters–of the whales J35, Tahlequah and J37, Hy'shqa) on the issues surrounding Snake River dam breaching. In the discussion, President Obama replied that, "This looks like something we might be able to do. I will get back to you after my staff and I review the issue."

This is a tremendous opportunity—one we may not have again for many years.

Please write or call the President at the White House. Let him know (in your own words) that you support his effort to start breaching these dams within his term using an Executive Order. Encourage President Obama to rise above the politics and bureaucratic lethargy that has stalled this action for the last 20 years.
