USA: In order to Make a Real Difference, We need to Be the Difference
Dear Friend of the Forest, The Native Forest Council and The Forest
Voice just turned twenty.
And we are at a crossroads. Together, it’s time to seize the moment.
The new Administration will have the power to either make real change
or in all too many ways ‘stay the course’. Industry will steal.
Politicians will lie. The Big Greens will cut deals. Like ‘The Giving
Tree’, Mother Earth sustains us, but she can’t do that if we kill her
off. If you have the courage of your convictions, stand with us.
We’re clear about the source of the problem: It’s the dishonest and
fraudulent practices of some corporations and their government
lackeys. Our new campaign needs you.
It will be exciting,
transparent, and interactive. We need your participation and your
support, financial and otherwise, to make it happen. The campaign
involves: 1) Increasing the distribution and content of our Forest
Voice. 2) Stopping America’s third world colony behavior of
exporting unfinished chips, logs and pulp along with American milling
jobs. 3) Demanding that the big timber barons pay their fair share
of the taxes and stop strip mining our states of their natural
capital. 4) Educating opinion leaders, citizens and media as to the
simple truth of what’s at stake and to keep our new Administration on
task, honest and accountable. — Remember: We all need the lungs of
the planet, our trees, clean air and clean water. You wouldn’t
willingly give your children polluted air and contaminated water. But
– failing to stop the destroyers of nature will leave a dead Earth to
our future generations. Our campaign has just begun. Help all you
can. Contact us with your ideas and suggestions. Be the Difference
