What better reason to vote could there be than to keep song alive?

The activities of our industrial culture, and our unsustainable attachment to growth without end, are bringing America closer to the silent spring envisioned by Rachel Carson two generations ago. The 2007 Audubon Society Watchlist indicates that, of all the kinds of birds under threat of extinction within the United States, it’s the song birds that are, as a group, in the most serious condition.

90 songbirds are on the Watchlist, . That makes 41 percent of all the birds listed, more than any other kind of bird. Unless you’re willing to accept a sky of diminished song, vote for strong environmental action. Vote progressive in 2008. (Source: National Audubon Society)
