[Guest guest]

> Dear Everybody,

>

> I am forwarding this email because it addresses

> an issue that deeply

> outrages me: the US Navy's continued use of Low

> Frequency Active Sonar

> (LFA) as a submarine detection system. There is

> mounting evidence that

> the LFA (which they are planning to use in about

> 80% of the world's

> oceans) devastates marine life, especially whales

>

> and dolphins which

> depend on their own sonar for survival. You can

> read more about the

> issue at

> http://www.nrdc.org/wildlife/marine/nlfa.asp

> There is an " act now " button in this article

> which will allow you to add

> your voice in opposition to this profoundly

> irresponsible use of

> technology. Please take the time to speak out

> for thorough

> environmental impact studies and a great deal

> more research before any

> additional tests are allowed. And, if you feel

> as I do, please forward

> this email to others. (Please note there is a

> May 31, 2001, deadline.)

> Dear Friend,

>

> We are still short of my target of 500,000

> protests, and as it so

> happens spirit has given and extension of an

> extra two weeks till the

> end of the May 2001 to mail or fax in letters of

> protest.

>

> On May 4th, 2001 a longer version of this email

> was sent to

> approximately 10,000 people on my lists. (See

> http://www.dreamweaving.com/lfas). As a result

> it was chain mailed onto

> hundreds of thousands of other people. It really

> has worked according to

> feedback from several independent sources the fax

>

> line into NMFS has

> been booked solid. My web site has been extra

> busy. So far this month

> (as of May15th) we have over 100,000 hits from

> people responding to this

> email.

>

> In 1998 my email protests really created a global

>

> awareness about LFAS

> and now I plead with you again to send in YOUR

> protest if you have not

> and PASS this new email on to others so that they

>

> too can help us save

> the whales.

>

> The Navy's application for a permit to kill more

> whales and dolphins has

> been meeting some tough opposition. Low Frequency

>

> Active Sonar is so

> loud that whales are killed by this sonar device

> which is billions of

> times louder than a 747 taking off.

>

> I hope you understand the worldwide and even

> cosmic ramifications of

> this destructive sonar device. Its effect is not

> only destroying the

> habitat of the whales but also the very

> vibrations within our living

> oceans and coastal communities. The deeper effect

>

> is potentially even

> more devastating because the sonar is to be

> deployed in over 80% of our

> oceans.

>

> Please take a look at the 60 Minutes video and my

>

> video of the hearings

> called Resounding Jericho - StopLFAS Worldwide -

> it will be our cries

> that will crumble the walls of our modern day

> establishment.

>

> Please, please, please protest via the link to

> the National Resources

> Defense Council's protest form.

>

> We need you to help us reach a goal of 500,000

> protests by the end of

> the month so please, please, please pass this

> message onto everyone that

> you know.

>

> These have to be received before May 30th in

> writing or fax to:

> Donna Wieting, Chief;

> Marine Mammal Conservation Division;
