    I urge you to keep the Roadless Rule in place exactly as it is. Like millions of Americans who have spoken out since 2001, I support the Roadless Rule and value our country's public lands and waters, including 44.7 million acres of undeveloped forests. The Roadless Rule safeguards clean drinking water for millions of Americans, provides vital habitat for threatened species and sustains old-growth and mature forests that serve as critical carbon sinks. It also protects access to popular climbing, fishing, hiking, backcountry skiing, mountain biking and paddling sites. Please keep the Roadless Rule intact and help protect our legacy of public lands by following Alternative 1 (No Action). Thank you, Rianna Apodaca

Like millions of Americans who have spoken out since 2001, I support the Roadless Rule and value our country's public lands and waters, including 44.7 million acres of undeveloped forests. I am unsure why the government wants to invade and develop our national forests, national parks, and other forested areas. If this government ever explained why they want these roads, we all believe you are doing this only for your own or your "rich friends" financial gain. The Roadless Rule safeguards clean drinking water for millions of Americans, provides vital habitat for threatened species and sustains old-growth and mature forests that serve as critical carbon sinks. It also protects access to popular climbing, fishing, hiking, backcountry skiing, mountain biking and paddling sites. You do not need to do this at all.
