[pct-l] Last Straw... Roadless Rule Overturned

[jerrygoller at backpackgeartest.org (Jerry Goller)]

Well, a year or so ago I would have said to be sure George doesn't get
reelected. Now I'd have to say to kiss the roadless areas goodbye, if they
have anything of even a remote commercial value to any one that wants to get
them for a song and make a profit from them. 

You can also remember it in the next election.....

I whole heartedly agree that this news is devastating. I am at a loss over 
what to-I have already written several letters to the Administration in 
support of the Roadless Rule. Millions of other citizens have as well.. Yet 
they either don't hear, or don't care. These are the last of the unprotected

roadless areas on National Forests.

This may affect the PCT. The good news in California's governor has come out

in defense of the original Roadless Rule-so the California section of the 
PCT may not be affected, but I don't know about Oregon or Washington.

What can we do to help the PCT and prevent more destruction of our National 
Forests?
