** BioGems Defenders **
Right now the U.S. Senate is considering legislation (S. 2834) that would permanently protect a spectacular stretch of wildlands in southwestern Utah. But the bill doesn't go nearly far enough and we need your help to make it stronger -- before the Senate casts its vote!
Please go to http://www.savebiogems.org/redrock/takeaction
and tell your senators to oppose S. 2834 unless its flaws are fixed.

Natural resources shouldn't be a burden on the poor.
Yet in many countries around the world, revenues from natural resources are propping up dictators, fueling conflict, and deepening poverty. But you can help change that today.
Instead of allowing payments from oil, gas, and mining companies to their host governments to be made in secret, the EITD Act would require both American and foreign companies registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission to publish these financial transactions as part of their annual filing.
Ask your member of Congress to co-sponsor the Extractive Industries Transparency Disclosure (EITD) Act.
