Say Yes to No Logging


Dear Representative,

Americans are saying enough is enough: A recent national poll shows 69 percent of them want to stop commercial logging on federally owned lands.

Reps. Cynthia McKinney (D-Ga.) and Jim Leach (R-Iowa) have introduced H.R. 2789, the National Forest Protection and Restoration Act, to halt commercial logging on national forests. I urge you to add your name to the growing list of co-sponsors of this bill to end the ecologically destructive timber sales program, redirect timber subsidies into worker retraining and ecological restoration, and save taxpayers at least $300 million annually.

Sincerely, Name
Address
City/State/Zip
