[Shadow_Group] (Sierra Club) Help Protect Wild Forests - Comment Period Ends Monday!

[shadowgroup-l at lists.resist.ca]

Hello all,
This is super easy to do and it will go a long ways in protecting our forests.  If comments aren't sent, it will be assumed we don't care about our forests.  All you have to do is create an account with the Sierra Club.  Then you can send off a email/fax in a ready made letter.

Please help us protect our wild forests. Send a fax to the Forest Service about the proposed changes to the Roadless Rule! Our National Forests should be protected for Americans, not logged for the benefits of timber company executives. The wildly popular Roadless Rule helped protect our remaining wild forests and the clean water, wildlife habitat and outstanding backcountry recreation opportunities from more taxpayer-subsidized commercial logging. The most popular conservation policy in American history was dealt a crippling blow with the Bush administration's decision to re-write the landmark Roadless Area Conservation Rule. Send a clear message to the Forest Service to keep the Roadless Area Conservation Rule intact in the Lower 48 states and Alaska's Chugach National Forest and reinstate the rule in the Tongass National Forest.

The comment period ends Monday, November 15. Please take action today. Click on the link below to quickly send a fax message.

Just as the Bush administration would have you believe that more clearcuts equals "healthy forests" they now want us to believe that more taxpayer-subsidized logging roads will help protect our rare wild roadless forests. The proposed rule would replace the Roadless Rule, leaving all 58.5 million acres of inventoried roadless areas in the United States open to road building, logging, and resource development. Until a state governor petitions for protection, management of inventoried roadless areas would be based on the individual forest management plans, which often require no special protections. 

Remember, the comment period ends Monday and the Forest Service will not accept comments after that time. 

Thank you for helping us protect the environment for future generations.

Sincerely,

Lillian Miller
Outreach Systems Manager
