DESCRIPTION:We must stand up to oppose it!\n\nAfter years of tireless work by millions 
 of Americans on behalf of wildlands, in January 2001, the Clinton 
 Administration put in place a regulation protecting 58.5 million acres of 
 roadless National Forests.\n \nThese areas are the cream of the crop of 
 pristine, otherwise\nunprotected wild places: some of the biggest trees, 
 the wildest\nrivers, and last refuges for endangered wildlife.\n\nEver 
 since, the Bush Administration has been working to undo these protections 
 in order to log, mine, and drill these precious areas.\n\nBush gets his way 
 on August 7th, when logging begins in Mike's Gulch, located in the 
 extraordinary South Kalmiopsis Roadless Area of the Siskiyou-Rogue River 
 National Forest.\n\nA massive protest to decry this precedent-setting 
 destruction will take place at the Siskiyou-Rogue River National Forest 
 Service office, 333 W. 8th St. in Medford at noon on August 7th.\n\nOur 
 message is "Roadless is Priceless."  T-shirts bearing this message will be 
 available.  In addition, please bring the following props:\nOregon State 
 flags, potted baby trees, colorful signs and costumes.\n\nAfter the rally, 
 all who choose to are invited to participate in a\npeaceful act of civil 
 disobedience.  We plan to express our discontent with Bush forest policy by 
 staging a peaceful sit-in or simple line-crossing.  Details will not likely 
 be worked out until the morning of the 7th but all are welcome to 
 participate on that day.\n\nThis event is designed for the whole family.  
 Please bring everyone you love.  Car pools are planned from Eugene, 
 Portland and the Illinois Valley.\n\nRoadless areas around the country are 
 now under threat of destruction. Mike's Gulch happens to be the very first 
 to fall under the axe.  We need to send a strong message to fellow U.S. 
 citizens and elected officials around the country to make sure that this 
 policy ends immediately.\n\nWe will try to keep updates posted at 
 www.o2collective.org.\n\n\n
