Under the Bush administration's new proposed changes to
the roadless rule, not a single acre of the 58.5 million
acres of roadless areas in the National Forests will be
protected nationally, and thus will not be safe from the
timber, oil and gas industries. Our roadless wild forests
are a national treasure - how can we allow our government
to give them away to the highest bidder?

The environmental community is trying to gather one
million comments to oppose this dangerous proposal.
Over 21,000 Care2 members have already submitted comments -
help us reach 50,000: http://www.care2.com/go/z/16554

Incredibly, the administration has already received over
2.5 million public comments in support of the Roadless
Area Conservation Rule, during previous comment periods,
and has chosen to ignore them. So, we need to be louder.
Please speak out today for your wild forests before it's
too late: http://www.care2.com/go/z/16554
