Drilling for oil in the Everglades. Auctioning off the Channel Islands to the highest bidder. Ridiculous concepts? Yes. Yet these ill-conceived ideas are coming from some of the candidates running for president. Is this the kind of change we want to see for America's national parks? We think not. That's why Teddy is running for president--because we need someone in the White House who will make national parks a national priority. Now's the time for the other presidential candidates to demonstrate their support for our national parks. Let the candidates know you think our parks matter. Sign the petition and tell them to make national parks more than just a part of their campaign-- but to make national parks a national priority. Teddy's campaign will hand deliver the petition, lets make sure we have enough signatures to make a real impact. Take action!
Our national parks matter. They matter to all Americans, and they matter to future generations. Teddy Mather, a presidential candidate supported by the National Parks Conservation Association, knows that national parks should be a national priority, and I urge you to speak up on behalf of our national parks too.
From Yosemite to the Washington Monument, our national parks teach us, inspire us, and humble us. It is imperative that future generations have the opportunity to experience our national parks unimpaired. And to do that, we must act now. We must ensure that the national parks- which will celebrate their 100th anniversary in 2016- are protected into their second century.
Teddy Mather is making national parks a national priority. Now I am calling on you to do the same. Go to www.electteddy.org for more information. Thank you for considering my views.
