I've just started a new thread on this in the General Discussion Forum:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x5403658thread title (11/19 GD):
LAT: Pombo land-grab is STILL IN THE BUDGET BILL that just passed - ACT!!! So far, not a single response. :banghead: We could lose our treasured public lands forever and almost no one even is noticing!!! This would be far worse than ANWR drilling - but excerpt for the LA Times, almost no national media coverage and the public and apparently most Congress members are utterly igorant of what is happening.
I have to leave my computer for ten days starting TODAY. PLEASE, PLEASE carry on this fight. It is a catastrophe in the making here. Congress's vacation will last only two weeks - we have a huge job to media-blast and congress-blast in so little time. The consequences of failure will be dire - our grandchildren's grandchildren will not thank us for allowing it to happen.
Here is the previous thread with background and some action pages - MORE ARE NEEDED:

PUBLIC LAND GRAB ALERT! LATimes:millions of acres at stake in House bill I hope that there is some discussion at the so far totally dead new thread on this in GD. Why aren't people listening, when there was so much action on the Alaska drilling and this would be so much worse?
