Thanks, they have used the Endangered Species Act as a weapon to promote their agenda through the courts. It has destroyed our resource economy and is time to turn these decisions over to the states who can develop our resources.

Oregon has a forest 150 miles wide and 300 miles long which is not being managed properly. It could supply the world with the finest lumber on earth and is being locked up.

You may also know that Georgia Pacific (timber company) was one of the biggest lobbyists to shut down logging in the west using the Spotted Owl issue. The Discovery Channel did a show on this about ten years ago. This raised the value of their holdings in Louisiana, Georgia, and Florida.
