Hi all, Just a word of caution: petitions are easy to sign without knowing the whole back-story. We've had this discussion several times before about looking into as much information as possible before signing something that may seem emotionally important without access to all the facts. As it turns out, I had dinner last night in Baton Rouge, Louisiana with the biologist who did much of the population survey work on Golden-cheeked Warblers relatively recently. He mentioned the moveon.org petition and how his phone has been ringing off the hook from media inquiries. Please get as much information as you can and become as informed as you can before just signing a petition.
