WRITE GOVERNOR SCHWARZENEGGER TO STOP BUSH
ROLLBACK OF THE ROADLESS RULE
This past week, the California Wilderness
Coalition has learned that the Bush
Administration will soon propose to roll
back protections for nearly 50 million acres of
national forests, including 4.4 million acres of
the most pristine lands in California. Bush
Administration officials have indicated they
plan to allow governors to exempt their states from
the overwhelmingly popular Roadless Area
Conservation Rule, signed into law under President
Clinton in January 2001. The Administration is
planning to announce this rollback in late March or
early April.
Fortunately, we have an excellent chance
to influence this decision before it occurs by
encouraging Governor Schwarzenegger to make good
on his promise to be an environmental champion.
Please take a moment to email Governor
Schwarzenegger and ask him to tell the Bush
Administration to keep national forests in
California - and the rest of country - protected
under the Roadless Rule.
