Greenpeace - Save the whale compaign
>> Wednesday, 2 June 2010
I am a part of Greenpeace (not surprising!!) and have been working on a campaign to save the whales from commercial whalers. Yes, a practise which was banned 20 years ago has been termed legal by Mr President. The process of killing whales for commercial purposes is going to throw the marine eco system off balance.
This is a mail I got from our Greenpeace network. Thought I need to share it here...
Hi there!
I'm delivering 1.5 MILLION comments in support of whales to the White House tomorrow. It’s so exciting!
The banners we've made out of your whale cards are so beautiful, and the photos we’ve received are powerful and inspiring. It’s incredible to see such an outpouring of support.
To make sure that YOUR voice is heard, I need your help – please make a quick phone call to save the whales, and tell all your friends to make a call too!
Here’s the info:
CALL: White House Comment Line (202) 456-1111
SAY: Hi, my name is _____ and I’m calling from city, state. I’m calling to ask that you represent Americans at the IWC meeting in June by working to protect the ban on commercial whaling. I'm ashamed that the leader of my country is supporting a cruel pro-whaling position when millions of Americans are deeply against it. Be the leader that you promised by ensuring that the US opposes any deal that legitimizes commercial whaling.

This will REALLY supplement our work tomorrow - we've got to make our voices heard.
Thanks so much for all you do. Let’s hope that Obama gets the message!

P.S. You don’t need to be nervous, the President won’t be the one answering the phone :) Be sure to take one minute to make that call - and let us know that you called!
I hope my friends who are not a part of Greenpeace will try to pitch in. We need to save the whales for our planet to manage its ecology, for us to survive. Lets do our bit.
