One of the most important public lands protections in U.S. history is on the chopping block, and our chance to submit comments closes in just one week. If the Roadless Rule is repealed,
45 million acres of national forests will be opened to road building, logging, mining, and other extractive industries.
Time is running out. Submit your comment now and tell the administration: Hands off our wildest forests. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=ABB7InYiOjEsImQiOjUwMTR9AAcAAAAABy93d_mE4zyiPtSttrKF4I

Dear John,
You've stood up for public lands before, and right now we need you to do it again. The public comment period on the Roadless Rule repeal closes next Tuesday, October 6.
Imagine your favorite national forest. Wild, expansive, quiet.
The rule isn't marked on trail signs or ranger district maps, but chances are your favorite forest is roadless.
For 25 years, the Roadless Rule has protected 45 million acres of our most treasured national forests from logging, drilling, mining, development, and road building. The Trump administration
is now trying to tear it down.
When the Forest Service created the rule in 2001, it received 1.6 million comments, more than 95 percent of them in support of strong protections. The agency listened and made the policy
even stronger. We have to show this administration that the public still feels the same way.
Submit your comment before October 6 and tell the US Forest Service: DO NOT REPEAL THE ROADLESS RULE. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=ABB7InYiOjEsImQiOjUwMTR9AAcAAAAABy93d_mGDvNElECGf_Qaaz2Sz

Take two extra minutes to personalize your comment. Explain why forest protections matter to you; personalized comments are weighted much more heavily.

Here's why we can't afford to lose this fight:
* The wildfire argument doesn't hold up. We need science-based, ecologically responsible solutions to the wildfire crisis, but 85 percent of wildfires are started by humans, and more
roads mean more ignitions. Repeal would likely make things worse.
* Taxpayers would foot the bill. Roadless areas were never logged because they're remote, rugged, and often have little merchantable timber. Opening them could mean taxpayer-funded projects
that destroy the forests' highest values while selling timber at a loss.
* The case for the rule is stronger than ever. Protecting habitat matters more than ever with climate change and development, the Forest Service's road maintenance backlog keeps growing,
and protecting public lands is still overwhelmingly popular.
The clock is ticking! Add your voice before the comment window closes: more than 250K other people have taken action -- will you join, too?
Tell this administration: Our roadless public lands are too valuable to lose, and the American public won't stand for it. TIME IS RUNNING OUT: comment before October 6. <http://click.emails.sierraclu
