The following alert is from the opposition - looks like support for the roadless initiative is overwhelming as of Aug. 17, but opposition alerts are going out. We need to keep the pressure up and counter these "actions" . thanks, Lois Norrgard American Lands 952-881-7282 please see American Lands website for comments and samples of answers to the 10 scoping questions. http://www.americanlands.org/ *** BLUERIBBON ALERT *** BLUERIBBON ALERT *** BLUERIBBON ALERT *** THE MAJORITY OF ROADLESS COMMENTS ARE COMING FROM OUR OPPOSITION! Of the 37,000 comments received so far, 35,000 are form letters. Only 800 are opposed to the Clinton-Gore Roadless Rule or ask that it be significantly revised. Of the 1,655 substantive letters received, only 200 support revision of the rule. WE MUST DO A BETTER JOB! We must tell the Forest Service to revise the Clinton-Gore Roadless Rule. We must generate more comments! Please visit BlueRibbon's website at http://www.sharetrails.org and click on the "BlueRibbon Coalition Rapid Response Resource Center" icon, then click on "Send Roadless Comments to Chief Bosworth Today" to launch an instant "clickable" letter to the Forest Service. Please pass this alert on to all your contacts. Post it on your web pages. We must spread the word! Our goal is 30,000 response letters by August 30, and you can help! For more information on the proposal, you can visit the Forest Service website at http://www.roadless.fs.fed.us/xcomments.shtml If you decide to write your own letter, the address is: USDA-Forest Service - CAT Attention: Roadless ANPR Comments P.O.
