I just tried to sign this petition and I entered my 9-digit zipcode. It did not work. I tried no abbr. in address, etc.
I called ABC and talked to a Stephanie. She said DO NOT use 9 digit--- ONLY 5 digit zipcode. It worked beautifully. So, if you are like me and have zero tolerance for computer nonsense, please try again. My message went to Rep. Betty McCollum in St Paul. The whole country has this problem with the petition. She is going to try to fix it at ABC with the contractor.

I think they do good work, save a lot of habitat, and their publications are very informative (also amazing bird photography). ABC issued a report on these pesticides. They are very toxic to bees, but they are also toxic to birds. One treated seed can kill an adult songbird. If you look at this report (or abc website) you should also find a petition to EPA to prohibit their use. There is a bill in Congress to do that also. http://www.abcbirds.org/newsandreports/releases/130319.html Gordon Andersson St Paul ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
