This bill unfortunately didn't advance last year but if anything deserves support, this is it: U.S. Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.) has introduced H.R. 2062, the Migratory Bird Treaty Penalty and Enforcement Act, which would provide a much-needed upgrade to one of the nation's most important conservation laws. The bill would give federal prosecutors the option of pursuing felony-level penalties for the intentional killing of raptors, and would finally provide a meaningful deterrent of prison time and hefty fines. The reason? As Ted Williams wrote in this article: http://www.audubonmagazine.org/incite/incite0805.html The current co-sponsors are: Rep Berman, Howard L. [CA-28] - 6/17/2009 Rep Blumenauer, Earl [OR-3] - 5/5/2009 Rep Farr, Sam [CA-17] - 4/23/2009 Rep Grijalva, Raul M. [AZ-7] - 4/23/2009 Rep Hare, Phil [IL-17] - 6/3/2009 Rep Hirono, Mazie K. [HI-2] - 5/5/2009 Rep Kind, Ron [WI-3] - 5/5/2009 Rep Lee, Barbara [CA-9] - 5/5/2009 Rep McCollum, Betty [MN-4] - 4/23/2009 Rep Michaud, Michael H. [ME-2] - 6/8/2009 Rep Miller, George [CA-7] - 4/23/2009 Rep Sestak, Joe [PA-7] - 6/8/2009 Rep Waxman, Henry A. [CA-30] - 5/5/2009 Rep Wexler, Robert [FL-19] - 5/5/2009 Rep Wu, David [OR-1] - 4/23/2009 Write to your representatives (you can use the webforms on their websites if you have a zip code in their district) and ask them to co-sponsor and support H.R.2062.
