Legislation authored by Rep. Kevin McCarthy proposes to release millions of acres back to public use
I wanted to be sure to invite each of you to the rollout for HR 1581 Wilderness Study Area & Roadless Release Act, which will take place at Congressman McCarthy's office on April 29, 2011 from 9:45 am to 10:45 am, 4100 Empire Drive, Suite 150, Bakersfield, CA 93309.
This important bill was submitted to the house on April 15 and it will be vital that we show full support at the rollout and also by submitting letters of support. A sample letter is available for download here
I am unsure if the anti-groups may attempt to pack the room for the rollout, but it might be best to arrive a bit early to ensure being in the room, just in case. Please invite others to attend, especially those who live locally.
Hope you can attend the April 29 rollout in Bakersfield.
