Please urge your Senators to block the Bush Administration's nomination of William G. Myers III to a lifetime seat on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals - the federal court that decides the fate of environmental safeguards in nine western states. 

Myers, who until recently was Interior Secretary Gale Norton's top lawyer, has a record of bending the law to fit his personal, anti-environmental agenda - and to fit the agenda of the polluting industries he used to represent as a lobbyist.  For example, as the Interior Department top lawyer, he overturned his predecessor's formal legal opinion to pave the way for a cyanide heap-leach gold mine in California that would pollute the environment and destroy sites sacred to the Quechan Indian Nation.  A federal court recently severely criticized Myers legal reasoning, holding that Myers’ opinion misinterpreted the law.

Please ask your Senators to oppose William G. Myers', lifetime nomination by using this form or by calling your Senators' offices (Capitol 202-224-3121) today.
