8-20-15 Salmon in Snake Dying-Salmon in Elwha Increasing

From Save Our Wild Salmon News...Read about:
...the dying of salmon on the 'clogged up' water on the Snake and the increase in salmon on the newly freed water of the Elwha after the dam removal.

If you're not convinced that there would be a positive impact of the removal of the 4 lower Snake River Dams, this might just give you a bit more encouragement to let everyone know the importance of this effort....and call the President and tell him...

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.

1-14-15 SRKW Salmon Initiative - Please Sign

Wednesday, January 14th

If you haven't signed the petition:  Southern Resident Killer Whale Salmon Initiative please do and ask your friends, who know how much you care for these whales, to sign the petition because they know how much you care!

Just received this:

"In just a matter of weeks we’ve collected more than 5,800 signatures on our petition to remove the four lower Snake River dams to save the Southern Resident Killer Whales from extinction!  Orca advocates are amazing.  We now need to double the number of signatures we have in less than two weeks.  

The folks who produced DamNation are going to Washington, DC the last week of January, 2015 to screen the film DamNation and to lobby Congress to remove the dams.  They want to present our petition.  They believe if they can add the importance of dam removal to the Southern Residents' survival and recovery to that of the endangered and threatened salmon runs, it will be a great benefit in moving the discussion towards removing the dams.  They believe that if we have at least 10,000 signatures on our petition, it will be a significant help.  Please help us help the Southern Residents!  If you haven't signed our petition yet, please sign it now.  Please circulate the petition as widely as you can.  THANK YOU!  Here is the link, https://www.change.org/p/rick-larsen-stand-with-us-and-support-removing-the-four-lower-snake-river-dams-to-save-the-southern-resident-killer-whales-from-being-dammed-to-extinction."
