Edwards' support for wilderness

[BeFree]

At the end of a letter to Ms. Fran Mainella, Director, National Parks Service, Senator Edwards wrote:
<<snipped >>
This is an exceptional opportunity for the Interior Department and the National Park Service to work cooperatively with the local community to resolve a controversy that has lasted more than half a century. The settlement would protect the largest contiguous wilderness area east of the Mississippi River and foster a legacy of productive communication between Great Smoky Mountains National Park and its neighbor, Swain County.

Thank you for your consideration of this request. I look forward to hearing from you soon about how we can work together to resolve this issue.

Sincerely,

John Edwards

The Senator from NC, stepped up to protect your National Park from a needless $200Mn+ road that some idiots plan to build through a wilderness area. To read more go to the projects website: http://northshoreroad.info that site is the official NPS site

1. Good for him!

Now if he could only take a glimpse of the land WEST of the Mississippi and see what this awful administration is attempting there.

Not to mention what's happening north of the "lower 48"...
