Are we going to sit by while certain members of Congress SELL our precious
public lands?

Will we watch as these money-minded members of Congress rewrite or repeal
all of the laws concerning clean air and water?

Will we hear the endangered species cry as the Endangered Species Act is
rewritten to protect nothing?

ME MUST NOT ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN!!!!!!

Make no mistake, members of Congress want to make these changes.  Who will
these changes help?  Congress and industry!  Will it help us?  No!  Lots
of money stands to made by the exploitation of our lands.  I repeat OUR
lands.  The lands of Yosemite, Yellowstone, Voyaguer's National Park,
Utah's Badlands, and ALL of the National Parks, National Forests, BLM
Lands, and the Designated Wilderness Areas belong to US.  

We - the citizens of the United States - own these lands.  Not the
Senate.  Not the House of Representitives.  They belong to YOU and ME.

The consequences of losing these lands will be devasting to our future. 
As our population grows, so will the need for wilderness.  For you, for
me, for our children and their children.  As it stands now, these
wilderness areas make up a small percentage of the total land mass of the
United States.  WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH FOR THE FUTURE GENERATIONS OF
AMERICANS TO ENJOY!  We can't afford to lose any more.  Already Parks in
Alaska are becoming popular because the Parks, like Yosemite, near major
population areas are being overrun.  This past Labor Day the Forest
Service had to close access to the Angeles National Forest because of
overcrowding.  The demand for wilderness areas, a place to "get away" is
going to rise as the population grows!

Why would Congress want to change the Clean Air and Water Acts?  Repealing
these acts does NOTHING for the average citizen.  Who does it benefit?  By
relaxing these regulations, BIG BUSINESS could save millions by poluting
our air and water.  It does nothing for you and me.  NOTHING.

Scientists are discovering that many rare plants have significant
medicinal uses.  The Endangered Species Act allows this research to
continue. The ESA is about more than minnows and owls.  It is about
finding cures for diseases that we may not even know of yet.  it is about
protecting life that ourwise could not protect itself.  Being the dominant
species on the planet, we have an obligation to all other species.

We can't let OUR lands be sold to the highest bidder!  We can't idly sit
by as a small handful of people get rich by destroying OUR few remaining
wild areas. These public lands were set aside to guarantee that future
generations of Americans would be able to see the Native Beauty of our
country.  They weren't set aside for the future profit of short-sighted
money-hungry industry.

WRITE YOUR CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTITIVES!  CALL THEM TODAY!  FAX THEIR
OFFICES!  E*MAIL THEM!  Tell them to leave our Public Lands alone.  Tell
them to block legislation that would alter the Clean Air Act, The Clean
Water Act, The Wilderness Act, The Endangered Species Act.  DO IT TODAY!

Environmental organizations such as the Sierra Club can only do so much. 
ONLY YOU CAN PREVENT FOREST DESTRUCTION!  DO NOT LET CONGRESS VOTE TO
ALLOW OUR PRECIOUS LANDS TO BE EXPLOITED!!!!!!  CALL TODAY!
