From Wendy on the FOOL on selling of govt lands I am not sure whether this post is OT. I am outraged, in a way that I rarely feel, over the attempt of the mining industry to rape the environment, under the guise of reducing the monstrous federal budget deficit. Perhaps the deficit tie-in makes this on-topic for Mish's board. Please forgive me, if not. Please read on. When does unbridled greed segue into pure evil? Rep. Richard Pombo's (R-Calif) proposal to sell National Park and National Forest lands to mining companies, for mineral exploitation and/or development, surely qualifies as evil. Pombo's bill would reverse a Clinton Administration ban on selling the mining claims, under the 1872 Mining Law. In Washington State, these lands would include gorgeous, pristine Shi Shi Beach, plus beautiful, much-hiked areas of the Olympic, Ranier, and Cascade forests. Beloved park areas, throughout the U.S., would fall under this monstrous pander to the mining companies. It only adds insult to injury that Pombo's proposal would sell the land at 1872 valuations, to foreign mining companies. The government would receive no royalties from mineral wealth, only the minuscule sale price for the raw land. Though the proposal is being pushed as a way of balancing the Federal Government's budget deficit, it would only raise 0.002% of the deficit, as it destroys irreplaceable, pristine public land. Only the mining companies would benefit, as America's treasures are raped. All Americans, who own these beautiful and pristine lands in common, should be up in arms, over Pombo's proposal. Whatever your political persuasion, please write to your representatives, at all levels of Federal Government. This bill comes up for a vote, in the House, this week, so please don't delay writing to your Congressional Representative (at www.house.gov). It could still be killed by a Senate committee, during the budget bill reconciliation process, so please write to your senators (at www.senate.gov). The Chairman of the House Budget Committee, Jim Nussle (R-IA), does not accept e-mails from non-Iowans. However, his Washington office's phone number is 202-225-2911. Please take immediate action, to protect your stake in the beauty of America. Any Fool who writes to his/her government representatives, to protest this travesty, will be personally welcomed by me, should you ever visit the North Olympic Peninsula.
