Time to get political -

I have been hovering on the brink of political re-activism the last couple months. I remember how passionate I was back in high school about issues at local, regional, and global levels and I wonder where all that went. Well, I kind of know where it went, but now I wonder how I'm going to get it back. So while I wonder how I'm going to get it back consider this.

House Resolution 1904: will reduce the opportunities for citizen input into the forest management agenda and opens forests to natural resource harvesting - not specifically timber, but presently for oil and gas wells.

In an era of increase public concern regarding forest fires, the federal government is taking steps to protect rich private interests (of those living in timber regions and of private companies who want to line their pockets with federally owned timber) while completely undermining the power of the Forest Service as an institution of multiple-use and as a protector of the Endangered Species Act. I guess as long as you are going to end up filthy rich, you have no problem sending the nation to the ecological shitter.

Other information: here, here, and here.

Maybe this will be my cause.
