Via The Wilderness Society:

Urge Your Member of Congress to Vote YES on the Hinchey-Wolf Amendment

An important vote affecting Wilderness areas and other public lands will be on the House floor this Wednesday, June 13.

Congressmen Maurice Hinchey (D-NY) and Frank Wolf (R-VA) will offer an amendment to The Energy and Water Development Appropriations Bill this Wednesday to postpone final designation of two huge multi-state proposed energy transmission corridors for one year. These two corridors – one in the East and one in the Southwest – cover 11 states and over 210 counties inhabited by nearly 75 million Americans.

Please add your own words to the letter [here], then click on Send this Message. And thank you!
