Dear Ms. Sierra,
I was recently disheartened to hear that the Bureau of Land Management is conducting an oil and gas lease sale on December 19, 2008 for lands proposed for Wilderness designation in America’s Red Rock Wilderness Act, introduced in the 110th Congress by Sen. Durbin (D-IL) and Rep. Hinchey (D-NY).
BLM intends to sell leases in incomparable wilderness-caliber landscapes like Desolation Canyon and the White River, in addition to lands near National Park Service units. While perhaps lower profile, these lands are no less important for their wilderness values, or, in the case of Nine Mile Canyon, for its cultural significance.
I urge you to cancel any leases that the BLM sells at its December 19th lease sale that are located in lands proposed for Wilderness designation in America’s Red Rock Wilderness Act.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
