the second on-line auction of Wayne National Forest land for fracking is
scheduled for this Thursday March 23<sup>rd</sup>. It is for 1,600 acres and </span><b><span style="font-size:14pt;line-height:107%">we need your voice to help stop it!!!!!</span></b><span style="font-size:14pt;line-height:107%"><span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:14pt;line-height:107%"><br></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:107%">It has been
confirmed that the United States Forest Service (USFS) and the Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) have approved up to 40,000 acres of forest land, directly from
the Marietta unit of Wayne, for fracking!<span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:107%"><br></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:107%">If you want to continue using the Wayne then
we need to work together to stop this now!

also request that she authorize a full <b>Environmental

“carefully,” “responsibly, and with respect for the land and local tourism.”
Since the USFS has NEVER EVALUATED fracking impacts on the Forest, let alone
taken formal public input, <b>this sale is illegal, irresponsible,

to pull the parcels and authorize a full EIS.

if he is sympathetic to our forest land being preserved. <span></span></span></p>
