The Planet November 1998 Volume 5, Number 9 One Minute Activist Say Yes to No Logging Dear Representative, Americans are saying enough is enough: A recent national poll shows 69 percent of them want to stop commercial logging on federally owned lands. Reps. Cynthia McKinney (D-Ga.) and Jim Leach (R-Iowa) have introduced H.R. 2789, the National Forest Protection and Restoration Act, to halt commercial logging on national forests. I urge you to add your name to the growing list of co-sponsors of this bill to end the ecologically destructive timber sales program, redirect timber subsidies into worker retraining and ecological restoration, and save taxpayers at least $300 million annually. Sincerely, Name Address City/State/Zip http://www.sierraclub.org/planet/199809/oma.asp Up to Top
