please DU this poll!

[montana500]

Recently, Bush made the biggest anti-conservation move in U.S. history by allowing our last wild roadless areas to be devleoped with minin, roadbuilding and logging. There is a poll on the billing gazettes (Montana) main site asking if you want roadless areas preserved or logged. Please vote "Roadless areas should remain off limits to development" as your choice.


The other answers are being hit by industry goons.

Dont let them ruin our great public lands!

Republicans hate our environment. The dirty bastards. They see trees and dream about dollar signs.

10. some facts

Montana and Idaho have the most roadless wild land to lose in this terrible Bush move, around 16 million acres. These two states along with NW Wyoming are the wildest left in the lower 48.

Glacier National Park and Yellowstone National Park exist here, and much of the reason why those parks are still so wild is because they are surrounded by these pristine wild areas. undoing them would damage the parks.

4. thx!

the thing is, the national forests in the already roaded portions supply 4-7% of our annual timber consumption in our country. The private sector takes care of the rest. There is no valid reason to trash these last wild pristine areas on national forest land - none at all.
