get off yer muddy stumps!

All ye river Chumps
get off yer muddy stumps
and write these grumps
to Dump the Pumps!

Dear Friends of the Sunflower River:

See below for complete list of addresses to individuals involved in the decision-making process for final approval of the Yazoo Pumps.

Please consider writing a letter to each of the following to halt the construction of the Yazoo Pumps. Our friends with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service oppose this project. At the very least, this project needs a scientific assessment from an independent group. Compose your own letters, or if you want to save time, American Rivers makes it easy for you, go to their website and click on board, personalize one letter and they take care of all necessary addresses & delivery. www.americanrivers.org.

The report comment period will be open to the public until January 22, 2008. The EPA has the power to veto this project under Clean Water Act section 404(c), and the president can direct the White House's Counsel on Environmental Quality to ensure that it’s never built.
