The Northern Rockies Ecosystem Protection Act, HR 1975, had a hearing last October in the now pro-wilderness Natural Resources Committee.
126 Members of Congress have signed onto the bill.
While everyone is screwing around with this Beaverhead-Kiss-Up-To-The-Timber-Titans-and-Off-Road-Monkeys Proposal, a great piece of legislation that doesn’t do anything but the RIGHT thing for our shrinking wild places is still being
dismissed by the environmental community.
Do you oppose NREPA because it’s too good or because it’s too big?
Tell me what is wrong with NREPA so I can understand why I should be in favor of wheeling and dealing my public land away with certain groups who ultimately damage it. And I’m suppose to pay for that?
Ecosystem. Ecosystem. It’s an ecosystem protection act.
Ecosystem. That’s why it’s 23 million acres.
If a ba-jillion people can come out of the woodwork to support a young, half-African, half American, professional campaigner, just think how they’d get all excited about protecting America’s greatest wilderness legacy—if the envirionmental community would only believe in it also.
