Guest guest Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Earthjustice [for Americans] This Rights-of-Way Bill is All Wrong: Stop the Public Lands Giveaway! Representative Steve Pearce (R-NM) has recently introduced a bill that represents the most dramatic attempt we have seen to give away our public lands. His bill, H.R. 6298, attempts to allow thousands of miles of damaging and unnecessary new roads to be punched through our public lands, opening pristine areas all across the West to development and off-road vehicle use. In what would be an unprecedented public lands giveaway, H.R. 6298 would undercut the protection of our national parks, wilderness areas, wildlife refuges, and other public lands by granting antiquated “rights-of-way” claims across federal lands. If passed, this bill would crisscross our public lands with a spider web of roads and development. Please ask your representative to oppose it today. Please take a few minutes to personalize your letter -- identical comments carry little weight with Congress! http://action.earthjustice.org/campaign/land_giveaway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
