Alliance for the Great Lakes FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Monday, July 26, 2010 Alliance Launches Great Lakes Action Center: Take Action on Asian Carp Today The Alliance for the Great Lakes today launches a first-of-its-kind Great Lakes Action Center, a tool for advocates to voice their opinions and engage their friends on relevant issues with just a few keystrokes. The online system is focused exclusively on Great Lakes issues and enables members, volunteers and the public to quickly and easily participate in issue advocacy with Congress, federal agencies, state officials and local governments, and to reach the media via Letters-to-the-Editor. The new action center launches with a petition drive to collect 5,000 signatures calling on President Obama to support permanently separating the Great Lakes and Mississippi Rivers to keep Asian carp -- and other invasives -- from traveling between and damaging these two major watersheds.
