I just signed the Citizen's Petition for Roadless Forests at http://action.defenders.org to protect our national forests, and I hope you will, too. The Bush administration has finalized its plan to repeal the Roadless Rule, paving the way for rampant logging and mining in our nation's forests. The Bush plan could lead to the destruction of some of the most pristine forests in the country. Under the Administration's proposal, not a single acre of the national forests that was shielded under the Roadless Rule is guaranteed protection from the timber and mining industries. Scarce habitat for grizzly bears, wolves, bald eagles and salmon could be threatened under the proposal. Help me protect our national forests. Go to http://action.defenders.org now to tell your Member of Congress that you oppose lifting the Roadless Rule. Thanks for helping me preserve America's wild places and the animals that need them to survive.
