Americas roadless wildlands are fast disappearing. Nationally, the Forest Service has built more than 380,000 miles of roads, a road system eight times larger than our entire Interstate highways system! Yet, the Bush Administration is now proposing to build even more roads in our National Forests and to sell our precious public lands to private developers! The Administration is steadfastly working behind the scenes to hand over 58.5 million acres of our precious public wildlands to energy, mining, and timber industries.
It's time to protect our few remaining wildlands in the National Forest system! To this end, we need to secure passage of our citizens' proposal, now H.R. 1204, also known as "The Rockies Prosperity Act." Please join me in fighting for this legislation, currently co-sponsored by Rep. Christopher Shays (R-CT) and Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), and which has already garnered the support of 187 House of Representatives members. Read more about my position on this bill.
