Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF): Protect Digital Privacy at the Border and Beyond
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals recently issued an opinion in the case U.S. v. Arnold holding that the Fourth Amendment does not require government agents to have reasonable suspicion before searching laptops at the border, including international airports. Meanwhile, a number of national newspapers have documented unnerving reports from travelers whose electronic devices have been seized as they crossed U.S. borders.

Humane Society of the United States (HSUS): May 1: Make the Call to Protect Downed Farm Animals!
Please call your U.S. Representative and urge support for any bill to protect downed animals—including H.R. 661, the Downed Animal and Food Safety Protection Act, and H.R. 5762, the Food Safety Recall Information Act.

SaveTheEnvironment.org: Help save the home of the black bear! [Yazoo Pumps project]
Your voice is needed to protect 200,000 acres of Mississippi Delta wetlands—habitat of the endangered Louisiana Black Bear. For the first time in nearly 20 years, the Environmental Protection Agency is using its “veto authority” to stop the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers from constructing the controversial and environmentally destructive Yazoo Pumps project. For the final veto to go through, however, the EPA needs to hear from as many people as possible that want this project gone!

We Can Solve It: Time is Short: You can help protect polar bears today
The Bush Administration has until May 15 to decide whether to place the polar bear on the Endangered Species list. Tell Secretary of the Interior Dirk Kempthorne that the polar bear, and its fragile Arctic habitat, requires protection from the effects of global warming. Sign the petition today.
