March 1999 Volume 6, Number 2 Sample Letter Send the letter below to Vice President Gore, or better yet, write your own letter. Mail to: Vice President Al Gore, Office of the Vice President, Old Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 20501. Dear Vice President Gore: Americans clearly support the protection of our national forests and especially our roadless areas - the last bastions of unprotected wilderness that provide fish and wildlife habitat, clean drinking water, magnificent scenery and backcountry recreation. The temporary roadbuilding moratorium announced on Feb. 11 starts the process to protect roadless areas. But it's time for the Clinton administration to permanently protect all remaining Forest Service roadless areas of 1,000 acres or more from roadbuilding, mining and logging. Americans want a national policy that protects the country's last remaining wild forest heritage, forever. Sincerely, Name Address City/State/Zip Go back to "The Roadless Moratorium Not Taken." http://www.sierraclub.org/planet/199902/sample.asp Up to Top
