Dear Summer,
Wildlife activists in Idaho, Wyoming and Montana are critical in our fight to save our wolves there. But they commonly face hostile state governments, misinformation -- and at times -- even the threat of violence as they speak out to protect our wolves.
That’s why I’m asking you to provide inspiration to the folks on the front lines in our battle to stop a wolf slaughter in the Northern Rockies.
Do you have a personal story of why wolves are important to you? Have you ever seen a wild wolf in Yellowstone and wanted these special animals to be around for your children or grandchildren to see? Maybe you just want to offer some simple words of encouragement to those who need it.
Now is the time to speak up. You have the power to inspire activists and supporters in the Northern Rockies to go the extra mile for our wolves -- even in the face of bitter opposition.
Your stories will have an immediate impact on the ground. We’ll post them online and pass them along to our activists to let them know that they have your support. We’ll share your stories with key decision makers and the press to show that Americans care about our wolves -- and want to make sure they remain protected.
Already, more than 40,000 of you have submitted public comments on the Bush/Cheney Administration’s plan to turn over wolf management to Idaho and Wyoming -- states that want to kill as many wolves as possible if the proposal goes through.
We’re also going to need the continued help of our activists and supporters on the ground in the Northern Rockies. They’re attending public hearings, responding to misinformation and working with ranchers to find common sense solutions to reduce human/wolf conflicts.
But they can’t do it alone. The debate is heated and often hostile for those working on the front lines to save our wolves -- and they need all the support they can get.
These activists need to hear from you!Please post your story today and let the people working hard to protect our wolves know that you’re behind them.
Sincerely,
Rodger Schlickeisen
President
Defenders of Wildlife
P.S. More than 40,000 people have spoken up for our wolves in the Northern Rockies. Please help us reach our goal of generating 200,000 comments to federal officials. Take action today!

I think it would really be awesome if we all posted what we sent along. Feel free also to discuss this if you want, and if you can't do it, that's OK, but the wolves need all the help they can get, and so can the activists.
