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!
