Tell Obama to keep his promise to save the whales. Add your name and a 
personal message 
<http://us.greenpeace.org/site/R?i=KaI4xf8OHSh4S7tVLnYIJg..> to the 
thousands we've already collected and we'll deliver it to the White 
House on June 3rd.

The headline reads like a bad joke: "U.S. plans to save whales by 
killing whales." But it's no joke.

In an altogether shocking move, President Obama's delegation to the 
International Whaling Commission (IWC) has decided to back a plan that 
would legalize commercial whaling -- including in the Southern Ocean 
Whale Sanctuary -- for the first time since the international ban was 
passed over 20 years ago.

We only have until the start of the IWC meetings in June to show the 
President that this plan is a horrible idea. And that's exactly what 
we're going to do.

Take Action NOW: Tell Obama to keep his promise, save the whales. 
<http://us.greenpeace.org/site/R?i=EMQM0EEv-W__ZEB3YX0o5w..>

We'll be delivering all the names and messages we collect to 
high-ranking officials in the White House on June 3rd.

Back in 1975, Greenpeace launched the world's first-ever Save the Whales 
campaign. The images we brought back from our first voyage sparked an 
international outcry and moved a generation of environmentalists into 
action. Eventually, after a decade of intense activism, the IWC agreed 
to ban commercial whaling. That was 1986 and it was one of our greatest 
moments as an organization -- it was also one of the greatest moments 
for activists like you.

We could lose it all this June unless we're able to change the 
President's mind. We've done it before. Now we need to do it again
