Actually the volume of
names does matter. And I encourage everybody to continue to help out. I have
already gotten several and I appreciate it very much. The USFS here pays
allot of attention to petitions. So please keep them comming.
Form letters/Petitions do not work
with the Forest Service. When they get the same text from a bunch of
different people they count it as one letter. You do not get the
benefit of numbers by doing things that way. If you really want to
be heard, everyone that has an interest needs to take a moment to write
their own individual message and send it. Another good thing to do
is make sure that your Congressmen are aware. The Forest Service has
to pay attention when they get a Congressional!
Just a little tip on
getting the giant to listen :-)
Good
Luck!

the Gila Forest of New Mexico. We regard our >rite to ride and camp

extremely important. We ask the Gila Forest Supervisor Marcia

you.
