I strongly endorse Randi's request.
To see and appreciate birds, we need habitat and OSLAD/NAAF will continue to
make possible the acquisition and protection of places for birds to rest,
feed and raise young. Please do your part and make those calls - most
importantly for the birds, but also for us.
Thank you,
Donnie

President, Bird Conservation Network

Subject: [BCNnet] Action needed this weekend for conservation funding in
Springfield
You've probably heard about the legislative budget debates in Springfield
continuing over the weekend. The experts that the conservation community is
using tell us that the budget negotiators are starting over with a blank
slate. Thus, we need to re-confirm to every House and Senate member that
funding for open space and natural areas must be in the final budget, and at
100%.
This issue is not on the short list of hot topics for many legislators. That
makes your calls very important.
Please contact your State Rep and State Senator at their Springfield office.
( www.legis.state.il.us <http://www.legis.state.il.us/> )
Tell them that you want OSLAD/NAAF fully funded in the final budget and the
dedicated funding stream protected.
And give them something to do, by asking them to go to their leadership and
ask again that OSLAD and NAAF be included in the budget, and to speak out in
caucus meetings.
For a short tutorial on OSLAD and NAAP, check out the details on the
Openlands Project website - http://www.openlands.org/policy.asp?pgid=301
These actions do make a difference. Legislators have told us they do. So
please make these calls.
