Action Alert - Emergency Calls to Congress Needed

Congress is voting soon on Yellowstone buffalo, snowmobiles and roadless
area protections.

Please Call the U.S. Capitol at 202-224-3121, ask to speak to your Congress person's office (the operator can find your Representative if you give them your ZIP code.)

Email comments can be sent by using the internet:  click on  http://www.house.gov/writerep/  and follow the instructions.

Ask that your Representative support the following amendments to the
Department of Interior Appropriations bill.   Please request that they:

* Vote yes to protect wild buffalo in Yellowstone:  The Rahall amendment
stops the National Park Service and Forest Service from slaughtering
Yellowstone buffalo when they cross out of the park to calve and feed.  

* Vote yes to protect Yellowstone from snowmobile pollution: The
Holt-Rahall-Shays amendment protects human health and wildlife by reducing
air pollution and engine noise by replacing snowmobiles with snowcoaches
according to the National Park Service's original scientific plan.

* Vote yes on the Inslee-Davis-Tauscher Roadless Area Protection Amendment,
which would prohibit the Administration from using any funds to make changes
to the Roadless Rule, as they have recently proposed.  This means that the
Administration would be unable to move forward with their plans to allow
Governors to exempt protections for roadless areas in the lower 48 states
and would prohibit the Administration from removing Alaska's Tongass and
Chugach National Forests from the Roadless Rule.
