No more national forests?

The Forest Service and tRump administration have put forward a dangerous new proposal to end longstanding requirements that the Forest Service notify the public, allow for public comment, and analyze environmental impacts when approving logging, road building, pipeline construction, and other activities on 193 million acres of national forest lands across the country. Comments on the proposal are due by August 12, 2019.

Please speak out to save our national forests while we still can. http://www.kyheartwood.org/forest-blog/forest-service-and-trump-administration-propose-eliminating-public-disclosure-input-and-environmental-review-comments-urgently-needed-by-august-12-2019?

at least Nancy can say she defeated trump in 2020 by taking the high road and getting all those voters to the polls...
if there is anyone who cares.

She may have a year and a half plan, but I doubt America has that much time.

8. No, the danger is that Trump is going to "win" again in 2020.

With no changes to our election integrity, Trump will steal the election again. What will be our plan then? We’ll have nada. Game over.
