**************************************************

 

The Bush administration is attempting to undo the rule that protects

the last wild 30 percent of America's national forests.

 

The new Roadless Area Conservation Rule signed last January,

protecting 58 million acres of America's last remaining wild forest

areas, is strongly opposed by the Bush administration and the timber,

oil & gas industries. President Bush is determined to open our

national lands to these industries and other forms of development.

That's why he and his administration have initiated a fast-track

comment period designed to kill the rule, and ignore more than a

million people who took part in a 3-year public process to determine

the best future for our wild forests.

 

*********TAKE ACTION TODAY!***********

 

The deadline for your comments, September 10th, is fast approaching.

 

We've made it easy for you to take action, and to tell the Bush

administration, once and for all, that you want your forest wildlands

protected.

Dear Forest Service Chief Bosworth:

 

I oppose any modification to the Roadless Area Conservation Rule as

published in the Federal Register on January 12, 2001. The rule is

already a compromise; it protects 31 percent of our national forests

and leaves more than half open to logging, mining, and drilling. It

also contains all of the exceptions necessary to allow road building

and logging when needed to address concerns of wildfires and forest

health. I strongly oppose allowing forest-by-forest decisions on

whether to log, build roads in, or otherwise develop these pristine

areas.

 

I urge you to let the rule stand as it is written in the January

Record of Decision. The American public is counting on you to protect

our national forest roadless areas -- without loopholes, waivers, or

additional exemptions. I strongly support the protecting of these

pristine forests -- especially Alaska's Tongass Rainforest -- as do

more than 95 percent of the 1.6 million Americans who have already

commented on this policy.

 

Please consider these official comments.

 

Sincerely,
