It is urgent that you call Senate majority leader George Mitchell _today_ if you want to save the largest environmental preservation bill ever enacted in the contiguous U.S. from a procedural filibuster. A very small number of senators are trying to run out the clock on the California Desert Protection Act before the Senate ajourns. The bill, S21, will protect nearly 8 million acres of California's Mojave Desert in the form of two national parks, a national preserve and numerous wilderness areas. Senator Dianne Feinstein, the bill's sponsor, has more than enough votes to break a filibuster on the Conference Committee bill, which passed the House Thursday. The obstructionists will definitely run out of time on Monday, but many senators who support the bill want to go home Sunday to campaign. Urge Sen. Mitchell to keep the Senate in session, and call your own senator and urge him/her to stay for this very important vote. Mitchell's no. is 202-224-5344. Call NOW!
