Sample letter (suggested by Trout Unlimited) Dear President Bush: I urge you to demonstrate your commitment to Northwest salmon recovery by aggressively pursuing full funding and implementation of real recovery measures and by strictly enforcing the performance standards for recovery mandated by the 2000 Biological Opinion for the Columbia and Snake basins. I cannot sit idly by and allow the legacy of my generation to include the extinction of a species that has been a part of the Northwest landscape and culture for millennia. Please fulfill your promise to save salmon and do the right thing for the region, for the salmon, the people and the nation. The Northwest's wild salmon heritage depends on it. ___________________________________ - Name ___________________________________ - Address ___________________________________ - Email
