The current Salmonella contamination in peanut butter products is the most recent failure of FDA's ability to inspect and regulate our food system. The Food and Drug Administration, the federal agency that is supposed to create a safety net to protect consumers from unsafe food, can't handle the job.

Now is the time to reorganize and create a better agency that can actually deal with food safety. We have a new Congress and a new President who can make real change and overhaul our broken food safety system.

Tell Congress to take action now and fix the FDA and our broken food safety system!

House leaders have proposed to give our economy and national parks a real boost. They've included more than $2 billion dollars in job creating ready-to-go projects as part of their proposed economic recovery package. The proposal would create nearly 50,000 jobs in rural and urban communities nationwide to help our economy and give the national parks the boost they need as we approach the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service.

With your encouragement, we can make sure this proposal moves forward. Write your representative and let them know you support this effort on behalf of our national parks, and make sure they work with their colleagues in the Senate to do the same.

The Modoc National Forest is a beautiful and serene place, but an overabundance of damaging roads that contribute to noise, erosion and other problems is threatening the forest's health and tranquility.

Tell the Forest Service not to go forward with its plan to add even more roads.

With the new administration and a new Congress, now is the time for the USA to start leading the global charge against global warming. The world is looking to us for leadership, but time is running out. Members of the new Congress are already working on legislation that will create thousands of green jobs and kickstart an energy revolution while ensuring that we do what climate scientists say is necessary to avert the worst effects of global warming.

It's up to us to make sure our representatives in Congress support that legislation.

Together, we can stop global warming. But we all have to work together.
