As I’ve already written several times, the Bush Administration is trying to ram through as many final new “regulations” and roll-backs of existing environmental, health and consumer protections. While we are all weary from eight years of assaults by Bush and his cronies, we must put up a final fight in his remaining days to stop these dangerous policies that are the President’s final gifts to his friends in mining, timber, oil and gas industries.

The Wilderness Society needs your help now to stop the Administration’s new proposal to open up thousands of acres of ancient forests in western Oregon to logging. This is yet another gift to the timber industry, which has already handsomely benefited by this Administration’s policies. Logging in this area threatens endangered species, biodiversity and is slap in the face to the American public that demonstrated their support for protection of wilderness areas in the election last week.

Takepart today to say no to the Bush Administration’s proposed logging by signing the Wilderness Society’s petition today.
