We need to send emails to counter this attack on Moab and the Red Rock. See the email below. Go to the site. See what is written. Then send an appropriate [Edit: your own] email to counter this:
[EDIT:] Do not send their email!!!!!!
Dear NRDC BioGems Defender,
We need your immediate help to block an unprecedented attack on some of our
nation's most magnificent public wildlands.
Legislation has just been proposed that would irrevocably harm some of the most
spectacular expanses of the Redrock Wilderness in southern Utah.
The sponsors of this proposed legislation, Senator Robert Bennett (R-UT) and
Representative Jim Matheson (D-UT), will accept public comments on their
proposal only until April 19.
Please go to http://www.savebiogems.org/redrock/takeaction.asp
right away and express your opposition to the Washington County Growth and
Conservation Act.
As currently drafted, this legislation would protect only a fraction of the
Zion-Mojave, an area proposed for protection under the Redrock Wilderness Act.
It would deny protection for more than 200,000 acres of lands that deserve to
be included in our nation's wilderness system. And it would further jeopardize
America's Redrock Wilderness by rolling back protections that have been in
place for more than 15 square miles of wilderness quality lands.
Under the proposal, taxpayers would be asked to foot the bill for selling or
giving away public land in the region worth hundreds of millions or perhaps
billions of dollars.
Go to http://www.savebiogems.org/redrock/takeaction.asp
immediately and tell Senator Bennett and Representative Matheson to develop a
proposal that would adequately protect the irreplaceable Redrock Wilderness for
the enjoyment and enrichment of all Americans.
Thank you for all of your efforts to save these magnificent wildlands.
Sincerely,
Frances Beinecke
President
Natural Resources Defense Council
