On the campaign trail, President Obama pledged to revoke the regulations, and Congress granted Interior Secretary Salazar special authority that runs only through May 9th to do so with the stroke of a pen. Please ask Secretary Salazar to save the Endangered Species Act by signing the online petition at www.savethepolarbear.org.
