URGENT: Help derail the Bush Administration's plans to sell more of our public lands to Big Oil

Who is Tim DeChristopher? He's the young activist who just completely derailed the Bush Administration's plans to sell more of our public lands to the oil companies.

He sat in the lease sale in Salt Lake City on December 19th and "bought" 22,500 acres of public lands right out from under the suits from Chevron and Exxon.

One small problem - Tim doesn't actually have that money. In a way though, it almost doesn't matter, because he's now monkeywrenched the process so thoroughly that they won't be able to conduct another sale until after the Obama Administration takes over - and thus hopefully never.

Tim needs to raise $45,000 by this Friday January 9th, in order to avoid fraud charges and put the sale out of reach to the Bush Administration and their oily friends. He's already raised almost half.

Can you please join me in supporting Tim DeChristoper, Bidder 70, today? Your contribution, which goes through the Center for Water Advocacy in Moab Utah, is fully tax deductible.
