a little break in the norm but one I feel is political and very important....

Subject: Save the honey bees!

Dear Friend,

Since 2006, U.S. honey bee populations have been in precipitous decline,
with some estimates suggesting losses as high as 30% per year. While
that's terrible, the problem is far greater than just the loss of a
species. Without bees, our food supply is in serious danger. Pollination
by honey bees is key in cultivating the crops that produce a full
one-third of our food.

A recently leaked memo suggests the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
has ignored the science linking the pesticide clothianidin to the bee
die-off.
lSign the petition to E.P.A. Administrator Lisa Jackson today demanding an
immediate ban and full scientific review of this pesticide:
