If Congress doesn't pass a budget before December 31, a cascade of crippling budget cuts will automatically sweep through *all* federal programs with a devastating effect on birds and wildlife conservation. We must pass a sensible, comprehensive budget, but one that does not loose sight of the crucial needs of birds and wildlife.
Don't let the massive budget cuts will slash funding for endangered species, wildlife law enforcement, national wildlife refuges, and a host of other conservation programs. Write your congression representatives NOW to pass a reasonable buedget and demand an end to partisan wrangling. Candace Cornell New York Congressional District 22 Rep.
