TALKING POINTS, "Please support the President's Healthy Forest Initiative..."
* We must protect our public lands from devastating wildfires and inactive
management
* All forests must have same protections that Senator Daschle gave to South
Dakota
* Protecting communities alone does not protect wildlife habitat or valued
recreation lands. We need to protect ALL of our public lands.

SUBJECT: PRESIDENT BUSH'S HEALTHY FOREST INITIATIVE
Dear Senator ______:
For weeks, the Senate has been debating President Bush's Healthy Forest
Initiative. It is urgent that you now support this legislation. You are
well aware that catastrophic wildfires are burning throughout the West.
These fires are destroying important recreation facilities and wrecking
havoc on important wildlife habitat as well as threatening communities.
For many years, forest management professionals have had their hands tied
by an endless parade of lawsuits and appeals filed by anti-access groups.
The American taxpayer is being asked to cover the expected 1.5 billion
dollar fire-fighting bill this year.
As a recreationist, I am concerned that important expenditures on trail
maintenance, campground repairs, and habitat restoration projects will be
put on hold because those funds are being diverted to the fire
effort. Lands important for recreation are also being devastated by the
fires.
Please support the President's effort to protect the health of our forests.
The Healthy Forest Initiative should serve as the foundation on which the
land agencies base a viable active management program for our federal
timber and grasslands.
Sincerely,
Your name
