><http://ga0.org/ct/3dzPwjp1Mma6/> Dear Paul,
>
>Last week, the Bush administration--the most 
>anti-environmental administration in American 
>history--secured a second term. The coming years 
>will hold many challenges for the environmental 
>community, but here's the first one: Stopping 
>the administration's reckless plan to scrap the 
>Roadless Area Conservation Rule.
>
>Of course, we've been telling you about the 
>administration's plans to eliminate the Roadless 
>Rule--the landmark conservation measure that 
>protects nearly 60 million acres of wild 
>national forests--for some time. The result of 
>last week's election means that our fight to 
>protect our national forests just became a whole 
>lot more critical.
>
>This is your FIRST chance since the election to 
>speak up and declare that last Tuesday was not a 
>mandate to despoil our wild forests--and it's 
>your LAST chance to speak up and tell the Bush 
>administration and its friends in the timber, 
>mining, and energy industries that you support 
>the Roadless Rule. The deadline is MONDAY, 
>NOVEMBER 15. 
><http://ga0.org/ct/3dzPwjp1Mma6/>Make your first 
>action since the election count. Click here.
>
>The Roadless Rule is one of the most significant 
>conservation measures in American history. 
>Eliminating the Rule would mean that 58.5 
>million acres of wild, unspoiled forests will 
>lose protections that bar road building and most 
>logging. In addition, the administration's 
>proposal could set the stage to undermine other 
>wild forest protections that were in place years 
>before there was a Roadless Rule. Help us send 
>the message: Our national forests are not for 
>sale! <http://ga0.org/ct/3dzPwjp1Mma6/>Click 
>here.
>
>Thank you for your continued commitment to our precious earth.
>
>Sincerely,
>
>
>
>
>Vawter "Buck" Parker
>Executive Director
>
>P.S. The deadline is Monday, November 15 for all 
>of us who care about our nation's forests to 
>speak up. Take action NOW, and then tell a 
>friend. <http://ga0.org/ct/3dzPwjp1Mma6/>Click
