I am writing to call for the urgent and immediate passage of the Save
America's Pollinators Act of 2013.

The headlines are more frightening with every passing day. Millions
of honeybees killed in Florida. Millions of honeybees killed in
Canada. And this is just from the ILLEGAL spraying. And neonicotinoid
bee poisons have been found in plants sold by Home Depot and Lowes,
so that well meaning people putting in plants to attract pollinators
may in fact be helping to slaughter them.
Last winter was the worst ever for mass honeybee die offs at 45%. It
took almost every living honeybee in the country just to pollinate
California's almond crop last season. One more winter like this one
and our agricultural food chain will start collapsing as soon as this
very next year.
To members of Congress, do you really want to go into your next
election trying to explain to your constituents why you did nothing
in response to these stark and clear warnings?
Congress must act immediately in the national interest to put a
moratorium in place, as the European Union has already done, on the
use of the enduring neonicotinoids pesticides that are now strongly
implicated. These poisons have never actually been field tested for
safety, but were slipped into widespread use through a conditional
use loophole, the condition being that testing would take place, but
it never did.
Pass the Save America's Pollinator's Act of 2013 now.

If you want to DO something, please submit the action page above. And
after you do feel free to request one of our beautiful new "Save Our
Bees" bumper stickers, featuring a picture of a busy bee absolutely
covered in pollen. You can have one for no charge, not even shipping,
from the return page from your action page submission, or from this
direct link.

most of our food chain depends on our honeybees
Of course if you can make a contribution of any amount, this is what
makes it possible for us to send free stickers to anyone who cannot
make a donation right now.
A beautiful thing for democracy happened this week when the American
people, including at least 10,000 of our own participants, spoke out
to slow down another senseless rush to war, enough to make room for
real productive diplomacy to take place.
Members of congress WILL listen when we in fact speak out. Is not our
own food supply worth speaking out to defend in even greater numbers?
Please submit the action page and proudly display the bumper sticker
now.
You may forward this message to any friends who would find it
important.
