October 27, 2004 Less
Than One Month Left To Comment In Support of Roadless Area
Protection Thank You to all who have already responded and asked for
strong roadless area protections! Due to all of your hard work and pressure, the
Bush administration has extended the roadless comment period to November 15,
2004. Also, because of all your
hard work we
reached the ambitious goal of generating one million comments in opposition to
the Bush administration rolling back roadless area protection to date. We can still do more!! Since the comment period is still open we need to keep our comments flooding in to send a clear and powerful message that we will not tolerate the Bush administration giving our National Forests away to the timber, mining and oil industries.
No matter what happens next week.... - A Strong message of protection for Roadless Areas will be Powerful in the months to come. Lets keep writing to send this
message!!! Please place another announcement in your newsletter to your members or send out another alert to your networks to help generate more comments. Please go to the American Lands Roadless Comment Drive Organizing Action
Tool-Kit to view sample comment letters, sample letters to the
editor, a sample editorial board memo, an analysis of the new Bush roadless
rule, and a link to the new rule.
We need to
keep the pressure on the administration by generating more comments and media
attention on the new Roadless Rule. If your organization has not
written comments yet, please do so.
