Protect the Spectacular Wilderness of the Rio Grande
Target: Jeff Bingaman, SenatorSponsored by: Care2
America's wilderness is being degraded from oil drilling, and huge chunks of public land are being sold off to private interests, never to be enjoyed by the public again.
Americans need to do everything they can to preserve some of the last great places for wildlife habitat and outdoor recreation.
Luckily, there is still a chance to protect the legacy of the spectacular Rio Grande Gorge.
A proposed 303,000-acre national conservation area would protect the Gorge and nearby land from oil drilling. This range is critical to the survival of large numbers of elk, mule deer and other wildlife. Wild trout also need the clean Rio Grande water and uninterrupted habitat the designation would provide.
You can help keep public lands in public hands!

Stop drilling for oil already and start developing clean alternative energy. The oil companies have become too greedy. They are destroying our enviorment and have no concern about the future of the planet. This area needs to be protected.

Large numbers of elk, mule deer, wild trout and other wildlife depend on the Rio Grande Gorge for survival. Please move quickly to help protect this area from oil drilling and other private interests.

The Rio Grande area will be a barren wasteland that I will no longer want to visit if you do not protect it from oil drilling.

All natural resources are important and crucial because we are destroying so much of it. I urge you to conserve the natural resources in your home state of New Mexico as if we destroy it all, we will be left with a world full of shopping malls and centers and that is no legacy to leave our grandchildren.
