Please watch, then help us get it aired on television. Your donation will be doubled today!

Last week, Pierce Brosnan wrote to you with an urgent request to save the world’s whales, who are on the brink of losing key protections under international law. Today, I’m writing with an equally urgent request.
Despite thousands of letters and phone calls to key U.S. officials, the fate of the world’s whales still hangs in the balance. That’s why The Humane Society of the United States has joined with Pierce Brosnan and our coalition partners in a last-ditch effort to save the oceans’ most majestic creatures: a new ad that urges President Obama to honor his campaign pledge to protect whales.
Will you watch this new ad right now, and then make a special donation to air it on television in key markets? A group of caring donors will match your gift, dollar for dollar, up to $75,000. That means we’ll have at least $150,000 to ensure this ad sees major air time in key markets such as Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles.
Our time to act is short: One week from today, the nations that are members of the International Whaling Commission, a body mandated to conserve whales, will meet to vote on whether to give in to Japan, Iceland, and Norway. These three nations believe selling whale meat is more important than the survival of these marine species. The United States must exert worldwide leadership to keep the ban on whaling intact. But we have to convince the Obama administration to do the right thing.
So please watch Pierce Brosnan’s personal plea to President Obama — then donate today to ensure this critical message reaches him and his staff. Your donation will go directly into our “Save Whales, Not Whaling” fund. Remember, the first $75,000 in donations will be doubled by a group of generous donors and be used to get the ad on the air. Every additional penny will be used exclusively for our campaign to save the world’s whales.
But I’ll warn you, the ad is hard to watch. It shows the very real threats facing whales today. But that’s precisely why Pierce Brosnan, The HSUS, Humane Society International, the International Fund for Animal Welfare, and the National Resources Defense Council are banding together to make sure this ad gets on TV – so the key decision makers cannot ignore it. Will you help us save the world’s whales now?
Sincerely,
Wayne Pacelle
