Hi folks – just a reminder to please consider signing on to this letter at the google doc below.  We really need to elevate this issue.  Thanks to those who have signed so far, listed below.  We made one small deletion that was suggested, see in track changes in the attached and reflected in the google doc below – probably better in the current environment not to refer to the past administration’s climate plan.

Subject: PLEASE SIGN ON: DEADLINE COB 1/18 - OPPOSE FEMA ESA RIDER IN SUPP

 

Hi folks – guess you can’t have too many sign on letters going around.  As you know, there is a rider in the House version of the latest supplemental that undermines the ESA in implementing the National Flood Insurance program.  The Senate is currently negotiating its version of the bill and we have been told it would be good to get a letter up showing broad opposition to this rider. We hope your organization will sign on at the google doc below.  Letter is also attached.  Deadline COB Thursday 1/18 – we want to get it up there Friday.  Thanks MB
