Bush Administration Cedes Comment Period Extension!
Let's Get A Million Comments In for Roadless Protection
Comment Packet and National Events
The Bush administration has extended the comment period on the new
Roadless Rule to November 15, 2004! We have set an ambitious goal of
1 million comments in order to send a clear and powerful message that
we will not tolerate the Bush administration giving our National
Forests away to the timber, mining and oil industries. Keep writing
to help reach this goal!!!
Please go to the

American
Lands Roadless Comment Drive Organizing Action Tool-Kit to view
sample comment letters, sample letters to the editor, a sample
editorial board memo, an analysis of the new Bush roadless rule and a
link to the new rule. We need to keep the pressure on the
administration by generating more comments and media attention on the
new Roadless Rule.
On September 14, 2004 there are going to be a number of events across
the country in order to demonstrate that the American public
resoundingly rejects the Bush administration's efforts to repeal the
2001 Roadless Rule. If you haven't already linked into these
activities (information below) please consider doing so. If you are
not participating in a local event in your area consider writing a
letter to the editor on September 14, 2004 expressing your
disappointment with the Bush administration for attempting to repeal
the Roadless Rule.
The extension of the comment period past the national election is a
clear indication that the roadless issue has become a problem for the
Bush administration. On September 14th events are being organized in
DC and around the country to continue to call attention to the Bush
administration's plan to log our remaining roadless wild forests.
Groups are encouraged to participate in events that are already being
planned as well as organize other press events or rallies to
demonstrate broad public support for roadless area protection,
calling attention to your states' contribution to the goal of 1
million comments.
Events are being planned in the following states: AZ, TX, WV, TN, FL,
NM, NV, NH, ME, PA, IL, MI, MN, AR, NC, ID, CO, OR, WA, WI, NJ, CA,
LA, VA, AK.
