So, as some of you know, I am a college student. I am currently trying to write a paper on USARK (I'm a political science major) and I submitted my topic to the professor and was all excited to be able to research and write about an organization I'm passionate about, only to find that I can't access the website. My paper, meanwhile, is due tomorrow. :angry:

The main thing I need from the site is examples of how USARK has tried to influence government, the example I wanted to focus on was the recent transportation ban on a few species of boids. If anyone has any links to articles that show examples of USARK's lobbying efforts, I'd appreciate it.

It's working for me, you're sure you have the URL right?

Also, google usark and if you're using Chrome click on the double arrow to the right then select "cached" which could help since that is basically a picture of the website stored in the google database.

Links other than the USARK site? So this,doesn't help, right?

If all else fails, try their Facebook page. They post all kinds of stuff there that might help you out.

I'm finding that I can't even use those links, strutter769. I get the same error message as when I try to go to the main site.

Thanks for the facebook idea, Norm. I'm also going to try the school computers, maybe it's my laptop.
