Huge Environmental Victory

I just got a letter from Robert Redford (ha!, really to me and the rest of the Sierra Club) with the best news! Remember last month I was worried that oil and gas companies were going to destroy the Redrock wilderness? Well, we fought and won! Read and excerpt from Redford's letter below:

"On Saturday night, a federal judge ruled in our favor and blocked the Bush Administration from proceeding with the lease sale of 110,000 acres of Utah's Redrock wilderness to oil and gas companies.

This is a huge victory for our nation's legacy of public lands -- and a final rebuke to the Bush Administration as it slinks out of town.

As you know, Bush's Bureau of Land Management auctioned off our Redrock wildlands on December 19, and was determined to close those transactions before the Obama Administration could take office. "
