[Save] Fwd: Coffee List: Action Alert

[Vicky Diadiuk]

Hi,
FYI - this seems urgent enough to warrant a bit of spam, for which I 
apologize ahead of time.

>>CONSERVATION FRIENDS --  Please see the attached note, which is 
>>being broadly circulated today to PROMPTLY send a polite message to 
>>Governor Romney that land protection remains an important priority 
>>for a large number of citizens.  THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT THE 
>>LAND CONSERVATION COMMUNITY HAS ATTEMPTED TO ACT IN FORCE.   I will 
>>not make this "ask" often, but believe that we can establish 
>>conservationists as a broad grass-roots voice IF we all act 
>>together this first time. 
>>
>
>>Governor Romney will soon announce his decision on funding for land 
>>conservation.  The Boston Globe reports the Administration may 
>>drastically reduce the money spent to acquire open space in 
>>Massachusetts, possibly down to zero. The Worcester Telegram & 
>>Gazette reports that a decision will be announced this coming week.
>>	Each day, Massachusetts loses 44 acres of land to 
>>development.  We must urge Governor Romney to maintain the state s 
>>commitment to land protection today!
>>ACTION
>>Call, email, fax, or write the Governor directly by Friday, October 3.
>>	Please urge friends, family, colleagues, and local 
>>environmental groups and sportsmen's clubs to contact Governor

>>Commonwealth s land protection programs.
>>MESSAGE

>>across the state from the 2002 Environmental Bond.
