![]() According to US Rep. Bart Gordon of Tennessee the Bush Administration is proposing to sell our public lakes and recreation areas. In Tennessee this includes J Percy Priest, Old Hickory, Center Hill, and Dale Hollow Dams. This would result in electric rates payers paying an estimated additional 87 million dollars per year in areas served by TVA. This according to an article by Representative Gordon in the June issue of Tennessee Magazine a periodical of the Tennessee Electrical Cooperatives. These areas are some of the finest trout fishing waters in the Country especially Dale Hollow and Center Hill. The reservations offers excellent camping, RV camping, Lodges, Cabins, Canoeing and Boating and open space for recreation to visitors from all across the Country. It takes some of the strain from the overburdened Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Also under fire are prime areas of the Cherokee National Forest. The Hiwassee River provides supreme trout fishing, kayaking, peace and serenity in a almost pristine and relaxing atmosphere. These areas are under fire because the Bush Administration has given carte blanche to the Timber Giants to clear cut previously protected areas almost down to the streams, in most cases. The National Forest service no longer has any responsibility to monitor wildlife in National Forest under the plan. This relives Timber Companies of any possibility of adverse action by Regulating Agencies when they destroy animal habitat, food sources, and silt in or destroy stream beds and water sheds. Other prime recreational areas in the Southeast that take a huge strain off the Great Smoky Mountains for recreation are the Nanthahala National Forest in North Carolina, and the Cohutta Wilderness in Georgia. These areas are all adjacent to or connect to each other and should be considered part of the Great Smoky Mountains national Park. They all offer tremendous opportunities for trout fishing, boating, camping and other recreational activities in supreme settings. There was an effort under the Clinton Administration to incorporate these assets into the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The Timber and Mining Industries pulled out all the stops as this would stop their gross rape of the resources. The Smoky Mountains are overcrowded and hemmed in by over developed Pigeon Forge and other carnival communities making a visit to the Park a stressful, exaservating, and time consuming endeavor just to get into the Park. We need these National Forest made part of the Smoky Mountain National Park because of the huge growth in population of the eastern US and the huge increase in demand for public recreation and nature areas this entails. The turnover of enforcement of Anti Pollution Laws of Federal EPA by the Bush Administration, at the request of the Mining Industry, to The State of Alaska portends the eminent demise of many of the ecosystems in broad areas of Alaska. Large open pit mines are planned north of Fairbanks and other areas. ANWR and all other Federal Lands are now going to be under State Regulation. The Governor and many State Legislators and Senators are members of the Mining Community or are recipients of largesse and owe much to the Mining Industry.The State officials have made it openly and abundantly clear that the Mining Industry need not worry about regulation by the State. The impact on wildlife, stream quality and fisheries and the impact on the air quality will be overwhelming within 15 years. |

I for one did not vote for Bush-wacko. He did manage to sucker the religious
right(spelled Bible Belt). Ministers across the country basically threatened their parishioners with expulsion if they did not vote for him. He is evil to the core and could care less about 99.9999% of the people. His prime directive is to make his wealthy friend sickeningly more rich - PERIOD! He is a cowardly deserter and has sent this country on a ruinous path. BTW You may want to insist your grandchildren to start learning Chinese. All the money we are pumping into their economy is going directly to military build-up. Our military is becoming second rate and impotent due in part to our appointed Komandant-in-Chief and Rumplestilfeld. Betcha' didn't know Grampa Bush got caught red handed helping the Nazis. And the grandson has turned this country into the same fascist state.I pity the poor suckers who voted for him, They'll get their just desserts after the economy goes belly up due to CAFTA and privatized Social Security. He's a pinhead but a shrewd and conniving pinhead (IQ 86), beat his dad by appoint. And these are the best we can do? I'd rather have a fibbing adulterer at the helm than a power hungry philandering, beady eyed liar. Have a nice day. "the other Daryl" wrote in message .. . According to US Rep.
