Subject: April Fools Call in Day to Karl Rove 
 
Please Tell the Bush Administration to Protect our Last Wild Forests!

In addition to countless other attacks on our national forests, the Bush
administration has eliminated protections for Alaska's Tongass
Rainforest by exempting it from the roadless rule that was enacted in
2001 to protect 58.5 million acres of our last wild forests from most
logging and road-building.  Next, the administration is poised to allow
governors in the Lower 48 to decide whether or not they want roadless
areas in their states protected.  Not only would this give governors
unprecedented power over federal lands owned by all Americans, it could
lead to the destruction of pristine forests across the country. 

This Thursday, April 1st, please call Karl Rove, Assistant to the
President and Senior Advisor to the President, and ask him to protect
our last wild forests by keeping the roadless rule intact in the Lower
48 and reinstating the rule in the Tongass.  And please forward this
alert to others!

Target:
Karl Rove, Assistant to the President and Senior Advisor to the
President
1-800-317-7871 (for April 1st only) or (202) 456-2369

Sample Phone Rap:
Hi, can you please connect me to Karl Rove's office?

Hi, my name is _________, and I'm calling from YOUR CITY AND STATE.  I'm
calling to urge Mr. Rove to protect our national forests by keeping the
roadless rule intact in the Lower 48 and reinstating the rule in
Alaska's Tongass Rainforest.

Quality
