The Senate is poised to return to work in mid-November to take up a sweeping public lands conservation measure. The Omnibus Public Lands Management Act would designate nearly two million acres of wilderness in eight states, protect hundreds of miles of river, and create a new 26-million-acre national conservation system.

Please take action now: If the Senate does not pass this bill now, there is no guarantee it will be taken up in the next Congress.

According to Seymour Hersh there is a conga line of insiders waiting until January 20th to spill the beans on the gross criminality of the Bush/Cheney administration. Waiting . . . because if they did it now the two of them would be tarred and feathered on the way out the door.

But we the people do not have to wait. We can and must demand the immediate impeachment of both Bush and Cheney for what is already known. At the very least the defiance of congressional subpoenas at the behest of the White House is an open and shut case for accountability now.

Because as his final constitutional insult, his final spit in the face to the American people and all rule of law, it is transparently obvious that Bush is planning the most wholesale and wrongful pardon of the worst political criminals in American history, his whole criminal gang, INCLUDING himself.

And don't think that is not their precise plan. Please, what power has Bush NOT abused? What heinous, self-serving, shameless and dishonest act has he ever shied away from, when he was torturing and eavesdropping and lying us into wars of corporate aggression. Does anyone doubt that is what he is planning on doing?

And when you submit this action page, you will have one last chance to get one of the "Impeach Both!!!" caps, which after January 20th will no longer be available from us for love or for money.

Right now, Chilean government officials are under pressure to approve the environmental impact assessment ("EIA") for the plan to construct five dams on two of the most beautiful wild rivers there: the Rio Baker and Rio Pascua. If built, the dams would flood thousands of acres of critical habitat for wildlife, including the endangered South American huemul. They would also require the construction of one of the world's longest transmission lines, which would run 1,400 miles through protected natural areas and ancient forests. Yet the EIA totally ignores the risks and impacts of the transmission line. The EIA for these destructive dams also fails to take into account the danger of glacial lake flooding and the availability of energy alternatives. Several technical agencies in Chile have already said that the EIA is insufficient.

Please take action at this critical moment in our campaign and tell Chilean government officials to reject the EIA for the proposed dams in Patagonia.

Last year, despite more than ten years of scientific study that shows snowmobile use harms wildlife and air quality, and shatters the solitude of Yellowstone, the Bush administration decided to propose a plan that would have grown back the number of noisy, polluting snowmobiles even past what Yellowstone has seen on average during the past five winters.

We took the Administration to court and won. A federal court found the Interior Department negligent in its duty to be good stewards by allowing increased air pollution, impacts to wildlife, too much noise, and most importantly, not abiding by its mandate to conserve the park unimpaired for future generations. The Bush plan was ruled illegal.

This is great news, but the struggle isn't over yet. Yellowstone needs you to tell the Park Service to follow the court's ruling.
