[mou] contact legislators to save Sax Zim

[Keith Carlson]

I have read with alarm Mike Hendrickson's post on the destruction of the Sax
Zim Bog.  While I believe little can be done to stop logging on any private
land, further logging on public land within Sax Zim could be stopped with
legislative action.  I urge concerned birders to call, write or e-mail their
legislators as well as members of the environment committees to stop this
travesty.  Names, addresses, phone numbers & e-mail addresses can be found
at http://www.house.leg.state.mn.us/members/hmem.asp for members of the
House and at
http://www.senate.leg.state.mn.us/members/member_list.php?sort=a#header for
senators.  The members of the senate environment committees are

Chair:	John Marty
Vice Chair:	Tom Saxhaug
Ranking Minority Member:	Pat Pariseau
Member:	Thomas M. Bakk
 	Satveer Chaudhary
 	Dennis R. Frederickson
 	John C. Hottinger
 	Michael J. Jungbauer
 	Sean R. Nienow
 	Gen Olson
 	LeRoy A. Stumpf

I also suggest the Audubon Society, MOU and other environmental
organizations should be contacted to take action on this issue as well.
