Stop the Mining Rollback!

Comment now to stop Bush rollback of mining safeguards

Unless concerned citizens stop them, President Bush and Secretary of Interior Gale Norton will revoke environmental mining safeguards and replace them with weak, outdated rules. The current mining rules govern the activities of the mining industry on publicly owned lands managed by Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and would better protect wildlife and rural communities threatened by toxic pollution.  Bush/Norton want to rescind the current mining safeguards, and replace them with old mining rules that left a wake of environmental devastation and taxpayer-funded mine pollution cleanups. We need your comments to oppose the Bush/Norton mining rollback.

To comment, got to our website http://www.stoptherollbacks.org

You will be able to send you comments directly from the site.  You will find a sample letter you can customize or simply send as is.
