Save our deserts

Save our deserts

California's Sen. Feinstein and our class want the other senators to vote for the California Desert Protection Act of 2011.

This bill will add 41,000 acres to Death Valley National Park, 2,900 acres to Joshua Tree National Park, and would create two national monuments. Every minute of every day, trees and plants and wildlife are being cut down to make buildings. We need more land in California to have fun on and to protect animal habitats. We read about this in the
Inland Valley Daily Bulletin and think

it is very, very important!

You can feel proud of yourself if you support this legislation, especially if you like animals like we do. So call your senator today and tell them the Protection Act of 2011 is the way to go!
