This is from a press release that went out this afternoon from The Heritage Forests Campaign:

The Bush administration today released documents announcing its intention to remove protections for more than six million acres of roadless areas in the national forests of Idaho. Idaho’s roadless backcountry areas are some of the nation’s last intact national forests and this proposal would open the door to their development by corporate special interests.

“Last year, a federal judge struck down the Bush administration’s attempt to remove protections for our nation’s wild forests. Today, 50 million acres of roadless national forests, in all states except Alaska, are protected from road construction and logging. Now, under the cover of the hectic holiday season, the administration is trying to open the door to new development in the roadless backcountry of Idaho’s national forests.

Again Bush shows he don’t care about the third branch of government, or the planet we live on. Instead he is worrying about his own greedy interests. Of course this is thinking that plagues the GOP as a whole and why we need to keep them out of the White House and Congress. They care about money – not life or the planet.
