National Forests under attack

[Guest guest]

Earthjustice

 

The Bush administration wants to challenge our recent courtroom victory for

Roadless forests, but you can fight back by writing USDA Secretary Michael

Johanns today.

 

The Bush Administration wants to block reinstatement of the Roadless Rule...

 

Take action to save our national forests.

 

It's been an exciting couple of weeks for our roadless national forests.

 

Recently, Earthjustice scored a huge victory for our roadless national

forests when a federal district court ordered the reinstatement of the

Roadless Rule.

 

Today, this victory is under attack. Over the last few weeks we've started a

nation-wide campaign to defend our victory and today we need your help to

fight back.

 

Here's the situation: Our victory means that roadless areas are once again

protected from road-building and most logging. This is bad news for the

logging, mining, and oil & gas industries... And so they're putting pressure

on their friends in the Bush administration to challenge our victory for

roadless forests.

 

Our win has put the Bush administration on the defensive. Now, we must

safeguard our victory and keep up the pressure to enforce the protections

we've fought so hard to secure.

 

Over the next few days, we need your help to generate as many letters as

possible to Secretary of the USDA, Michael Johanns, demanding that he

support protections for our roadless national forests by enforcing the

Roadless Rule.

America's last road-free national forest areas belong to all of us. These

forests are too important to be turned over to private interests who want to

exploit them for private gain. Together, I know we can save these last

majestic forests for generations to come. Please, take action today.
