You've seen the forest fires. TV almost every day has new pictures of houses going up in smoke. The B & B Complex fire in Oregon is still not out and has burned over 90,000 acres.
And the Senate fiddles.
Hundreds of homes have been lost in Arizona. More have burned in other states. The environmental groups keep stalling trying to head off a vote in the Senate.
And the Senate fiddles.
Thinning our forests, making them healthy again is the answer. It is a huge job that even to be effective next year, must start now.
And the Senate fiddles.
The U.S. Senate is considering the Healthy Forests Restoration Act (HR 1904). It deserves a vote this month! There's no time to stall. Catastrophic fires continue to destroy habitat for wildlife, water and air quality. The Senate is still using HR 1904 that passed the House overwhelmingly last spring. The House did their job. It is time for the Senate to do its job.
This should not be a partisan issue. Please support the Healthy Forests Restoration Act now before we devastate our environment even more!....
