Senate Democratic leader Tom Daschle added language to a bill on defense spending (H.R.4775) that will allow crews to start thinning forests—but just in his state—imperiled by the threat of wildfire, by exempting the state from challenges allowed under the National Environmental Protection Act. But why not the rest of the nation? [Update: this bill became Public Law No: 107-206 when signed by President Bush on August 2nd.

Call Gov. Davis at 1-800-988-2588 and ask him to veto the bill.
This bill must be vetoed because it gives extensive law-making power to the Air Resources Board—an appointed board of bureaucrats that has demonstrated its incompetence by forcing the use of the poisonous MTBE (causing a cleanup bill of $50–$100 Billion); the use of diesel fuel that damaged the engines of ambulances, fire engines, and many other diesel-powered vehicles; among other stupid things.
