Protect Colorado's Backcountry From Drilling and Mining

Dear Activist,

Colorado's best backcountry is at risk.

President Barack Obama has been a strong supporter of the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule, a landmark environmental measure that preserves 58.5 million acres of inventoried roadless areas in our national forests. But backed by special interests, the State of Colorado is attempting to get out from under this popular policy and open up some of the best backcountry in the Rocky Mountains to new coal mines, methane wells and oil and gas drilling. As a result, Colorado's national forests could become a magnet for development.

We need your help. Please ask Governor Bill Ritter to reject Colorado's new proposal because it doesn't measure up to the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule, which President Obama pledged to support as the best national policy to protect America's last undeveloped national forests in every state.
