STOP BUSH’S PLAN TO SELL OFF OUR NATIONAL FORESTS

After six years of undermining protections for public lands and forests, President Bush’s FY 2007 budget proposes to sell more than a quarter of a million acres of public lands. This is another example of the Bush administration's loyalty to the logging, oil and gas industries. According to the New York Times, the Department of Interior's budget documents show that they plan to allow companies to pump about $65 billion in oil and natural gas without paying royalties.

A total of 301,511 acres of national forests across the country would be up for auction under the President’s proposal; including over 12,000 acres in Montana, 75,000 acres in California, 25,000 acres in Idaho, 21,000 acres in Colorado and 21,000 acres in Missouri, 17,000 in Wyoming and 15,000 in South Dakota. List by state. Many of the lands up for sale provide important wildlife habitat, clean drinking water and air, and a natural legacy for future generations.

We only have until March 30 to get our comments into the National Forest Service. Please join me in telling the Forest Service not to sell off our public lands to environmentally hostile corporations and condo developers!
