I’m writing to urge you to vote NO on the Fix Our Forests Act (S. 1462) and to oppose any unanimous consent motion to bring it to the floor. This bill was drafted in 2023 for a Forest Service that no longer exists. Today the agency is run by a logging executive, supervised by a billionaire whom the Forest Service once tried to get a restraining order against, and overseen by a Secretary who has already declared an “emergency” across 112 million acres — 59 percent of the entire National Forest System — to bypass environmental review. FOFA hands this administration permanent statutory authority to do what it is already doing administratively: log America’s national forests at landscape scale, with no public input, no environmental review, no Endangered Species Act constraints, and no meaningful judicial remedy. A bill written under the assumption of good-faith implementation cannot survive contact with this administration. Please vote no.
