This first issue is something I CAN'T YELL ABOUT LOUD ENOUGH!!!! President Bush along with the BLM will be auctioning off millions and millions of acres in Utah (as well as Colorado and Wyoming) to oil development. The scary thing is, is that they're timing it just right--so that President Elect Obama will have no chance of undoing what they've done.
I'm asking all of you take 5 minutes of your time and a measly $10 (or $25, or $50, or $100) to do something about this. Go to this site here. Everyone I talk to is always wondering what to do to help...this one is easy. I'm not asking you to come out to a protest (though that would be great), I'm not asking you to even write a letter (though I'd appreciate that as well). I'm asking you for a small amount of time and a small amount of pocket change. Donations will help SUWA fight the legal battle ahead--at least it will help them stall the Bush Administration until Bush is out.
The saddest part is, is that this will affect some of the most beautiful areas in Utah--areas that are popular for campers, bikers, climbers, etc. This is beautiful and sacred land, and I hope you feel the urgency that I feel to preserve and protect it. Read more about it here, here, here, and here. And make sure to check CJ's blog for more info as well.THIS IS SOMETHING YOU WILL ALL BE AFFECTED BY. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, NOW!
