<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>

you have “new information” but please leave a message anyway. Please also request that she authorize a full
<b>Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)</b> of fracking impacts; this has not been done! Such a study requires evaluation of up-to-date science and a meaningful public input process.</span></p>

“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, and <i>must be cancelled</i>. Please ask him to
