Dear Editor,

I am writing because I care about Wisconsin's environment. I want to protect Wisconsin's rivers, lakes and woods. I want to be able to hunt/fish/boat/swim on clean, clear lakes and drink water that is safe. I want to be able to enjoy our beautiful state parks and hear the call of the loon.

We've made progress since the first Earth Day in 1970. Recently, the bald eagle was removed from Wisconsin's endangered rescues list; a hopeful sign. But this doesn't mean we should stop progress toward cleaning up pollution. Today, more than ever, we need to work together to protect Wisconsin and our wonderful, outdoors tradition. We need to stop Exxon's efforts to build one of North America's largest mines along the Wolf River.

This November, I am planning on voting for ________________. He/she has an excellent environmental voting record. This shows me that they care about my (children/family's) future and in conserving Wisconsin's natural resources. We need more leaders like ______________ in our state capital who will work to keep Wisconsin a healthy, prosperous place to live, work and play.

Sincerely,

Your Name
