[/#bf0000][font "Georgia"][#bf0000]Dear Member,
It's not too late, you can still help us save the Roan Plateau. The vote on the FY 2008 Interior, Environment and Related Agencies Appropriations bill has been postponed until later this week.

Please follow this link and contact your Representative; tell them to support the floor amendment that protects the Roan Plateau from oil and gas drilling.[/#bf0000][/font][/url][#bf0000]
WHY WE CARE[/#bf0000][#bf0000]
[/#bf0000][#bf0000][font "Georgia"]The Roan Plateau, located in NW Colorado, is home to native trout, world class deer and elk hunting and backcountry fly fishing. It is also slated for oil and gas drilling.
It should be noted that the Roan Plateau comprises a very small area by comparison to the rest of the public and private lands being opened in the region for energy development and that 85% of the gas beneath the Roan Plateau can be reached by directional drilling from around the base with no need to drill from the top. There is simply no need to sacrifice sensitive habitats in order to secure energy resources.
The only way to keep well pads, roads, heavy machinery, pipelines, waste pits and an industrialized landscape off of the Roan Plateau is to have Congress pass a funding limitation that would create a one year time out on leasing these lands so that a plan can be developed that protects the fish, wildlife and hunting and angling values that the Roan Plateau is cherished for.[/font]
WHAT YOU CAN DO
[font "Georgia"]This funding limitation consideration has been postponed by the full House of Representatives. Please contact your Representative today and tell them to support the floor amendment to the FY 2008 Interior, Environment and Related Agencies Appropriations bill.[/font][/#bf0000][url "http://www.kintera.org/TR.asp?a=doJPIUNqFcJNJ3K&s=kiKRL0ODKgJUJ2PRE&m=kiLSL0OJJeKYG&af=y"][font "Georgia"][/font][/url][#bf0000]
