The short explanation of this alert was:

Highway Robbery: Interior Department Readies New Public Land Give-Away

You might think that opening millions of acres of public lands to oil and gas development, undermining protections for our National Parks and working to open the Arctic Refuge to drilling would be enough of a legacy for Gale Norton, so closely aligned with Industry.

But in her final weeks at the Department of Interior, Secretary Gale Norton is spearheading an effort to streamline a policy to make it easier for states and counties to build highways on public lands. The end result of this last-minute maneuver could be the construction of thousands of miles of roads on some of our most unspoiled public lands.

Your Senators can put a stop to this. Please send them the letter below asking them to take quick action and stop this backdoor giveaway.
