    So jump through their hoop and make a noise

    I cannot provide a direct URL because they disable referring links.

    Go to

    http://www.regulations.gov/search/index.jsp

    In the center box (Comment or submission) type "Endangered Species". As of this writing, the top returned find is "Interagency Cooperation Under the Endangered Species Act".

(You are also advised that you can post a letter (which is what I'll probably do) to: Public Comment Processing, Attention: 1018-AT50, Division of Policy and Directives Management, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 4401 North Fairfax Drive, Suite 222, Arlington, VA 22203

    Signed: Ashamed of, but not surprised by, former Idaho governor Dirk Kempthorne.
