Dear Subscribers:

GO TO ALERT LETTER WEBSITE:
http://capwiz.com/share/issues/alert/?alertid=79027

Currently, Mark Rey, USDA Undersecretary for Natural Resources and Environment, has until December
24 to decide if he will review Forest Service Chief Bosworth's decision to uphold the Sierra Nevada
Forest Plan Amendment. This process was previously known as the Sierra Nevada Framework.

It is critically important that you send an email and FAX to Mr. Rey and ask that he review and reverse
the Chief's decision. You must also ask that he focus the Forest Service's attention to traditional
planning efforts done on individual Forests.

Even if you don't live or recreate in the Sierra, you should weigh in on this issue because it sets a
bad precedence for decisions made in Washington, D.C. instead of at the local level.

You must also email and FAX a copy of your letter to Vice President Dick Cheney since he is President
Bush's point man on access issues.

Mr. Rey's FAX number: 202.720.0632

VP Cheney's FAX numbers: 202.456.7044 and 202.456.9500

Please forward this alert to your own email networks. Our continued recreational access to the Sierra Nevada depends on your action today. Also, if someone you know is not already signed up on the BRC Action Alert Network, please ask them to go to our website at:

and sign up so that they receive these alerts automatically when action items are posted.

Thanks,
