we can try
the wilderness' dam blockade was only a try and it worked
also -for that matter 'was the French revolution...
thing is
the cause demands passionate ,committed people's
that can carry through their cause to the end-regardless of threats and the' law'
tricky
i myself was one of the last female 'prisoners' locked up during the Wilderness 'Franklin' Dam Blockade
believe me it was a GREAT campaign
i was just a little number
there were many VIP's involved and a three day training course had to be undertaken prior to moving up the river(then we would cross the river and 'trespass' 'Crown' land)
it was wonderful to be involved and feel the energy of the people of the collective existence-and also marvelous to see the Franklin river
jail was scary-it was nice to know i would get out in a short time-and it was also important that i believed i had done nothing wrong, along with THOUSANDS of other supporters
we could do this again....
?

If the Greens hand out 'how to vote cards' their arguement is destroyed. Or maybe they would be happy with the paper coming from a third world country.

As the saying goes .... "Bad things happen when good people do nothing." I financially support The Wilderness Society on behalf of not only myself, but future generations - my children (and one day, my grandchildren). What we do today will determine the kind of place we leave behind for them. I am inspired by the world's natural wonders and I understand the role of the Earth's forests, our
big "ally," in tackling climate change.

I care, and I will write.

The people of Tasmania have a right to unpolluted waters and an environmental heritage for their children.

I believe the possibility of launching a common law class action against the state and federal governments should be investigated as well.

By working together we can stop this pulp mill, because The Wilderness Society and its supporters have succeeded time and again in their 30 year history.

They lost their first legal challenge to the Franklin Dam. Yet within a year, the dam had been stopped by people power and the High Court.

And in campaigns to protect Kakadu and the Daintree there were many setbacks. But not once did they roll over and give up on our ancient ecosystems, our endangered wildlife and our future.

If you can't do anything else - at least support The Wilderness Society.
