Last week the Senate voted down Senator Patty Murray's 
proposal to repeal the salvage timber rider. This means 
that Senator Mark Hatfield's plan to rape our nation's
ancient forests is still attached.  

Here is Senator Hatfield's view on the subject...
(Excerpt is from the Senate floor debate on Sen. Murray's
proposal)

> ...  Sen. Hatfield said, "seeing the photos (of Ancient 
> Forest trees fallen) chills my blood.  But it would also 
> chill my blood to walk into a slaughterhouse to see how 
> sausages are made.  But I still like sausages." ...  

You might want to keep the *honorable* Senator's
words in mind as you consider the fact that the
Forest (dis)Service is planning TWO HUNDRED AND
FORTY EIGHT "salvage" sales for California as
we speak.

QUESTION:  Do you want California's Ancient Forests
turned into "sausage factories"?

ANSWER:  E-mail the president.  Tell him to 
VETO this bill. ( mailto:president@whitehouse.gov )
Ask him to make it clear to the congress
that if the salvage rider is not repealed,
the budget will not be approved.

To make this super-easy for you, I have also created
a web-page just for this purpose.

(the letter is even included!)

It's time to stand up and be counted!

FULL REPEAL, NO DEAL!
