Bring back the CCC!!!

Thank you Kevin. The late great environmental activist writer Edward Abbey once wrote, "Godbless America!Lets save some of it!" The US Congress is now working on a $250 billion to $1 trillion dollar stimulus package for Obama to sign into law. Is there talk of stimulus money for our 711 million acres of public lands? Not yet! See www.wecatakeit.org phone script to call your AZ policy makers and Obama's transition team in Washington. Ask them to give stimulus money for the repair of the environmet and infrastructure work backlogs on our federal,state and local public lands. Tell them a no brainer to reactivate a government public sector program that worked the US Civilain Conservation Corps. Those who enroll would travel and earn with other Americans and veterans to work on needed public works projects on our neglected public lands and learn the work and conservation ethic. You would also have a ready force in disaster relief in AZ and elsewhere in the Nation.
