When it comes to wildlife and the environment (to which I'll limit myself in this post) I think she will also have a strong motivation to continue and EXPAND her Alaska policies. Keep women in their place and remember to hunt and kill the wolves and any other animal that gets in their way.

The Endangered Species Act of 1973 (“ESA”) protects species of plants and animals threatened with extinction by listing them as either “endangered” or “threatened,” which in turn confers certain legal protections.
