Stop the Sale of America's Natural Heritage
Target: US Senator Harry Reid; Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi
Sponsored by: Sierra Club
Sponsored by: Sierra Club
The Bush Administration has made several proposals to dismantle our National forests by selling off thousands of acres - a move that would only benefit the administration's friends in the timber industry, coal interests and Big Oil. Adding insult to injury, YOU - the American taxpayer - are being forced to fund the destruction!
Despite its National Geographic Traveler's ranking as one of the "50 Places of a Lifetime," wildlife areas next to Superior National Forest's Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness have been targeted for clear-cut logging.
The Forest Service also proposed to fill up to 5,500 logging trucks with trees from the Daniel Boone National Forest - even though it will damage the water supply for more than 80,000 Kentuckians.
These are just a couple of the latest in a series of gifts coming from the Bush Administration and its allies in Congress to oil, mining, timber and real estate speculators of increased access to pristine natural areas.
It has to stop. America's public lands are the nation's endowment, and they ought to be managed with long-term stewardship, not carelessly cast off to make a quick buck.

National Parks are supposed to be protected so the animals there can live in peace. Don't destroy their homes!
