Subject: What kind of Florida will our children inherit?

Friend,

There's a once in a lifetime opportunity to ensure Florida protects its precious waters, wildlife, and open spaces, and we can't afford to let it pass us by. Florida's Water and Land Legacy Campaign is working to place an historic conservation amendment on the November 2014 ballot that would ensure Florida is annually investing in critical land conservation.

We need to gather 150,000 more signatures from Florida voters in the next five months. Will you help us reach that goal by signing a petition today?

This amendment to Florida's Constitution would ensure the allocation of a small percentage of our state budget to fund conservation that forever protects Florida's remaining natural treasures.

Each signed petition from a Florida voter gets us one step closer to protecting what's best about living here: miles of beaches, beautiful parks, crystal clear springs, endless opportunities to swim, bike and fish, and an amazing diversity of plants and animals. We must take a stand to protect Florida's natural heritage.

Add your voice to more than 150,000 Floridians who've already taken action by signing the petition for Florida's Water and Land Conservation Amendment today.

Florida is a special place, unlike any in the world. The Florida we love is under constant pressure from short-sighted politicians, relentless developers, and corporate special interest driven policies. Now more than ever, it's critical our state invests in protecting and preserving natural Florida.

Florida needs your help, and together we will create an environmental legacy we can all be proud of.

For Florida's future,

Mark, Damien, and the Progress Florida team

P.S. If you haven't already, please consider volunteering with Florida's Water and Land Legacy Campaign. Gathering signatures with other volunteers is the most effective way you can help us reach the finish line and ensure that the amendment makes it to the ballot!
