>>BACKGROUND
>>
>>(Look below for the reasons to oppose the Roadless Rule. Take three or
>>four, put them in your own words, then send them to President Bush,
>>Secretary Veneman, your Senators and Congressman in a fax or e-mail.)
>>
>>
>>THE ROADLESS RULE:
>>
>>-----The 58 million acre Clinton-Gore Roadless Rule is the largest land
>>grab in the history of the lower 48 states.
>>
>>-----Remember that nearly all rural counties voted for Bush. The Roadless
>>Rule does great damage to rural economies all across America.
>>
>>-----The Roadless Rule affects all Americans, and yet, appears to be
>>politically driven by a select few special interest groups.
>>
>>-----The Roadless Rule process denied states and local governments their
>>requests for Cooperating Agency Status.
>>
>>-----The Clinton Forest Service ignored Congressional Members requests for
>>an extension of the public input for the Roadless Rule Draft Environmental
>>Impact Statement.
>>
>>-----Millions of Americans will loose both recreational access, as well
as,
>>their economic ties to healthy, productive National Forests, as nearly 58
>>million acres of public land is categorically made into a Wilderness
Areas.
>>
>>-----The Roadless Rule was non-scientifically based and politically driven
>>during the public comment process.
>>
>>-----The Roadless Rule process never addressed the environmental or
>>economic
>>consequences of the Rule
>>
>>-----The Roadless Rule is really the Clinton/ Gore Wilderness Preservation
>>Plan.
>>
>>-----The Roadless Rule allocates lands without respect or compliance with
>>existing Forest Plans, on-going Forest Plan Revisions or the
administrative
>>and legal process of Forest Planning, NEPA or the Regulatory Flexibility
>>Act.
>>
>>-----The process designating the Roadless Rule circumvented the
>>administrative and legal process because the Clinton-Gore Forest Service
>>was unduly influenced by environmental groups and have made political
deals
>>to create Wilderness Areas whether states, local governments or the
>>American people want NO ACCESS to our National Forests or not.
>>
>>-----The Roadless Rule process denied every reasonable request from
>>Senators, US Representatives, Governors, County Commissioners, other
>>qualified non-governmental entities, as well as, petitions from
>>individuals, seeking Cooperating Agency Status in order to participate in
>>the DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT (DEIS) and to assess impacts of
>>the Roadless Rule on states and local communities.
>>
>>-----Congress must, by law, vote to designate new Wilderness Areas in the
>>US. The Roadless Rule effectively designates Wilderness Areas in all
>>National Forests. This violates the federal Wilderness Act and individual
>>states' Wilderness Area designation statutes.
>>
>>-----If the Roadless Rule is allowed to stand, access for millions of
>>Americans will be limited to Wilderness Area management criteria. This
>>means that disabled, older, and other recreating Americans, will no longer
>>enjoy access to our National Forests.
>>
>>-----The Forest Service states that driving in the National Forests has
>>increased dramatically over the last ten years. The Roadless Rule closes
>>tens of thousands of miles of roads for tourism access to millions of
>>Americans.
>>
>>-----The local economic impact of the Roadless Rule, especially in states
>>where the Forest Service controls millions of acres of lands, has not been
>>analyzed adequately.
>>
>>-----The economic and environmental impacts of the Roadless Rule were not
>>sufficiently addressed in the DEIS. The Potential Costs of the Roadless
>>Rule were grossly understated and offensive to the States and local
>>governments that will be adversely affected. That is why Cooperating
>>Agency Status was denied the States.
>>
>>-----Forest Health was identified as a Potential Cost of implementing the
>>Roadless Rule. Fuel loading and fire risk, as well as, Forest Health, were
>>not adequately
>>analyzed in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS).
>>
>>-----The cost is grossly understated and examples of costs are readily
>>available from the recent fires in New Mexico, Arizona, Florida, Wyoming,
>>Montana, and other states need to be included.
>>
>>-----The Roadless Rule carries out the environmentalist agenda creating a
>>disastrous situation with no management occurring on the ground on every
>>National Forest in the nation.
>>
>>-----As the Forest Service shuts down multiple use of the National Forests
>>under the Roadless Rule and the new Planning Regulations, the economies of
>>the rural areas that have been already and severely impacted by prior
>>Clinton-Gore policy shifts, will be devastated by the Roadless Rule.
>>
>>-----Wildfires and pest infestations will go unchecked under the
>>non-management scenario that the Roadless Rule creates.

It is possible that the address itself is somehow bad, but it is more likely that the problem stems from the inadvertent lack of space in front of Secretary Veneman’s email address (if you clicked on the email address, instead of typing it in, you would have gotten a failed email return). To avoid the entire problem, here is another email address for Secretary Veneman: <agsec@usda.gov> You can also go to: http://capwiz.com/share/dbq/officials/ ...to look up any agency official, including Veneman (just click on the “Agencies” link in the upper right portion of the frame).
