Way to step up and take some action. I'm proud of you. I support your stance 100%. Keep our land open woman. If I can ever help, let me know.
YOU ROCK!
 

I don't believe she wrote this. Pretty generic, all someone did was thank you for writing, we will only worry about this if it comes up in senate. Bullshit bullshit. That's my belief.

 

Cynical I see.
Fight it! (I understand) ; )
 

Nice! way to go!
 

I'm proud of you for doing what you believe and contacting your representative. More people need to do that rather then just sit on their ass and bitch about things. With that said...they are not going to do anything on land that has been set aside for National Parks etc...it is in the law that those lands are not to be touched. They would have to put it through Congress to change that and it won't happen. Just like with the majority of crap that goes around...it is all politics and full of horseshit.
LOL
 

Dear Marci,

No one voted on Election Day to hand over Utah's Redrock wilderness to oil companies.


But the Bush Administration cynically chose that very day to advance an outrageous plan that will sell off leases for some 300,000 acres of spectacular Utah canyonlands to oil and gas speculators.


While America was voting for Barack Obama and his vision of a clean energy future, Bush and Cheney's underlings were conspiring to plunder one of the crown jewels of our natural heritage for their fossil fuel cronies.


Please register your own opposition right now.

The auction of Redrock country will take place on December 19. At stake are world-renowned vistas near Canyonlands and Arches National Parks, as well as near Dinosaur National Monument. The highest bidders will earn the right to turn vast tracts of pristine wilderness into industrial wastelands.


It's bad enough that Bush officials went behind the backs of the American people with this disastrous scheme. But what's worse, they didn't even tell their own National Park Service until after the fact.


In my mind, this theft of our heritage goes beyond the cynical -- it's criminal.
What will be left to give to our children and their children if we allow this administration, in a parting shot, to destroy our legacy of public lands for short-term gain?

I hope you're as angry as I am about this blatant land grab, because we've got to stop it -- and we have to act fast. The NRDC Action Fund is mobilizing more than one million Americans in an outpouring of protest over the coming days.


Send your own message of opposition immediately. Tell the Bush Administration that you will not allow it to destroy one of the most beautiful places on Earth.

The Bush Administration is racing to complete the auction of our lands before Inauguration Day, which will make sales difficult to reverse.


We must fend off this land grab now -- before the oil and gas companies can lay claim to the spoils.


Those spoils include stretches of Desolation Canyon, which has been proposed for national park status. Bush's own Interior Department describes the canyon as "a place where a visitor can experience true solitud -- where the forces of nature continue to shape the colorful, rugged landscape.
"

The very idea of oil and gas operations invading these remote sanctuaries -- which have remained untouched for millennia -- is deeply upsetting. Once the dirty deed is done, our wilderness can never be restored. That's why I'm asking you to help us sound the alarm and organize now.


Tell the Bush Administration to cancel the Redrock auction. Remind them that we the people are the rightful owners of this majestic wilderness and that we won?t stand for its destruction.

And thank you for joining with me and the NRDC Action Fund to save these beautiful wildlands for all future generations.


Sincerely,

Robert Redford
 

Hummm..... First I have heard of this. Thanks for taking the time and posting this. I am sure I am not alone in being caught up in life and not knowing.

I know we have beautiful wilderness lands. But we also need to be able to use our own resources. It seems there should be a way to get the oil without overly destroying our wilderness lands. To rely on Canada, Mexico, Russia, and the middle east for our oil, and to say it's OK for them to destroy their wilderness so we can buy their oil, and not be willing to use our own, is hypocritical. Long term, we need to find other sources of energy, but short term we need to drill here and not rely on others.

 

I'm on the same page as Tim...Almost every senator has over a hundred staff members to field responses like this. If you read it carefully, she didn't really say very much or commit to anything...Washington double speak.

DC will do what it's going to do, and both sides of the isle are responsible.

I personally would be a little more concerned about what organized religion has done to the inhabited areas of Utah...In the name of god, and tax free.

 

Now, if only the elected members will stop talking out of both sides of their mouth. It appears they constantly say one thing but always do another. Used car salesmen can be more trusted.
