NFC: Re: Fw: Urge President Clinton to Leave an Environmental Legacy

Oh Lordy no.  Pres. Clinton is doing all the wrong things in the name of
environmentalism.  Let the lame duck leave.  The Sierra Club is pounding on
him daily about this roadless initiative, which would cripple the US Forest
service and make it so only the Sierra Club type folks could use the
forests.  4x4's, ATVs, horses, and mountain bikes would no longer be allowed
in national forests.  As someone who spends two or three weekends a month
enjoying our national forests, I'd just as soon keep the presidents hands
OUT.  My state has been losing legal trails like crazy because of this
administration.  But ATV and 4x4 sales are on the rise.  Where do they all
go?  Illegal private lands, where nobody is around to regulate their use.

This administration has already left an environmental legacy behind.  One
that I'm hoping George Dubya will fix when they finally let him in.  What a
mess.
