This is a plea for our environment. President Bush is trying to destroy one of the few places we have to enjoy our beautiful nature. Bush's plan is to auction off hundreds of thousands of acres of land near national parks. A week from today, he wants to lease 276,000 acres of pristine land. Areas such as Arch's national monument, Dinosaur national park, Canyon Lands national park, to name a few.
Bush is planning a midnight regulation which would do the following:
1) Weaken rules on drinking water, allowing higher arsenic levels.
2) Allow coal companies to dump into streams.
3) Oil and Gas leases next to national parks.
4) Concealed weapons in national parks.
5) Uranium mining near Grand Canyon.
6) More snowmobiles at Yellowstone.
These iconic places, gifts for the entire world are being threatened by one man, for a short gain. This plan is definitely aimed at helping the big oil companies, which Bush is a big part of. And it would destroy these grand places permanently for a quick buck in the already rich pockets of the oil companies.
But there is something we can do to stop this. Please. You have exactly one week to contact your leaders, representatives, congressmen, and the White House, and tell them not to allow this. Do not permanently harm this great countries monuments for temporary gain.
