No one voted on Election Day to hand over Utah's Redrock wilderness to oil companies.
But the Bush Administration cynically chose that very day to advance an outrageous plan that will sell off leases for some 300,000 acres of spectacular Utah canyonlands to oil and gas speculators.
While America was voting for Barack Obama and his vision of a clean energy future, Bush and Cheney's underlings were conspiring to plunder one of the crown jewels of our natural heritage for their fossil fuel cronies.
The auction of Redrock country will take place on December 19. At stake are world-renowned vistas near Canyonlands and Arches National Parks, as well as near Dinosaur National Monument. The highest bidders will earn the right to turn vast tracts of pristine wilderness into industrial wastelands.
The Bush Administration is racing to complete the auction of our lands before Inauguration Day, which will make sales difficult to reverse.
We must fend off this land grab now -- before the oil and gas companies can lay claim to the spoils.
Tell the Bush Administration to cancel the Redrock auction. Remind them that we the people are the rightful owners of this majestic wilderness and that we won't stand for its destruction.

On the occasion of the 60th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, we ask that you contact President-elect Obama's Transition Team.
Let them know that restoring America's place in the world as a nation that stands up for human rights must be a top priority, and that the new administration should act swiftly to fix U.S. interrogation and detention policies.
No torture. No exceptions.
