I live in the southwest right in the middle of the largest Ponderosa forest in the world.
I have seen, first hand, what these diabolical enviornMENTALists have done to my state.
Every timber company, boom, out of business.
Ranchers who were able to use fed. lands to graze, boom, out of business.
Many businesses in town, boom, out of business.
Construction, boom, gone.
None of my kids, save the youngest, live here, gone to the big cities.
Never used to worry about forest fires, never had too.
Now we have summers of fire. Yuge fires!
And it is nerve racking.
Many here, including myself, are trying to fight back.
We write and call a lot of congress critters, both local and national.
We vote and try to get those who understand this problen, NOT McPain. Vote Dr. Kelly Ward.
And we pray a lot!!!
We are going through same thing in CA. forests used to be thinned diseased trees done away with NO MORE due to wacko environmentalists, VERY DRY conditions I guess people losing their homes, animals and sometime life is a small price to any for them saving DEAD TREES!!! My heart goes out to these fire fighters unbearable heat and winds!!!
