The Northern Rockies Ecosystem Protection Act

NREPA

H.R. 980

MUST NOT PASS.

CAN HELP BY CONTACTING YOUR CONGRESSMAN AND ASKING HIM or HER TO VOTE AGAINST H.R. 980

NREPA is currently being reviewed by the
House Sub-committee on National Parks, Forests and Public Lands. The hearing is scheduled for
May 5, 2009

In our opinion this subcommittee is the best place to stop NREPA.
