From the SF Bay Guardian:

There’s a simple way to solve this: Congress can de-list the Light Brown Apple Moth.
Pelosi has the ability as speaker to push this to the top of the agenda and get a bill passed quickly. Mayor Gavin Newsom and the supervisors should call on her to do that — now.

The SF Bay Guardian printed, in error, that Sam Farr had introduced a bill demanding the declassification of the Light Brown Apple Moth. They later corrected the story, stating that Farr had merely questioned the classification, not written a bill. I just got off the phone with Rep. Pelosi’s office and they’ve heard all about this.

Let’s make this bill happen in reality.

Contact Sam Farr. Ask him to introduce a bill demanding the reclassification of LBAM.
Call him at: Santa Cruz Office
701 Ocean Street
Room 318
Santa Cruz, CA 95060
831-429-1976

Contact Mayor Gavin Newsom. Plead with him to urge Rep. Pelosi to make this reclassification priority #1.
Call him at:
City Hall, Room 200
1 Dr. Carlton B. Goodlett Place
San Francisco, CA 94102
Telephone: (415) 554-6141

Contact Rep. Nancy Pelosi. Urge her to make the reclassification of the light brown apple moth her top priority, as the health and lives of millions of Californians hang in the balance:
Call her at:
District Office - 450 Golden Gate Ave. - 14th Floor
- San Francisco, CA 94102 -
(415) 556-4862

We have literally only days left to get this moth correctly re-classified, lift the terrorizing threat of permanent or fatal damage from the hearts of citizens and lift quarantines from our valued organic farmers. The reclassification of the moth, if enacted with urgency, will accomplish this.

Please, call these people today. Thank you!
