| Our Mission: To protect and enhance the forests and wildlife habitat of California through educational, legislative, and electoral activities. Second, to recruit, educate and train articulate and effective organizers in the skills needed to convey our position on the state's forests and wildlife habitat to the citizens of California. We Are Campaigning Right Now On Ground-Breaking Legislation! As U.S. taxpayers, we currently pay over $1.2 billion a year to subsidize the timber industry's logging of our national forests. Most Americans believe the U.S. Forest Service is protecting this valuable part of our natural heritage. But in fact the agency has been overseeing a systematic destruction of our nations natural resources. It is time to end taxpayer subsidized logging on federal public lands by enacting the National Forest Protection and Restoration Act (HR 1494). This legislation will: * Eliminate subsidies for the Forests Service logging program. * Channel part of the savings into a program to restore the health and ecological integrity of our national forestlands. * End clear cutting in our national forests. * Create economic recovery and diversification in communities currently dependent on the federal logging program. (HR 1494) needs more co-sponsors and champions in the House in order to ensure its success. We are hiring and training articulate and motivated activists to come and work with Forests Forever and make this bill come true! We Need You to Help Us Proliferate Life!!! Activists, Organizers & Forest Defenders. FT & PT permanent positions: Public Education, Fundraising, Citizen Lobbying. Up to $600/wk with Bonuses. Paid Training, Vacation/Sick/Holiday Pay & Health Benefits. Call 415.974.3636 or Fax resume: 415.974.3664, attn.: Paige.
