Tell the U.S. Navy to lay off the whales.

The Issue

You like whales? Me too. But the U.S. Navy apparently doesn't share our sentiments. If you haven't already, check out the following post and the links it features: The Whales vs. the Navy at the Supreme Court.

And then visit the NRDC's "Take Action: Whales in Danger" page. Tweak the letter to Secretary of the Navy Donald Winter to fit what you personally want to say, and encourage Secretary Winter to use the time he has left in his position to do some real good--for the whales.
