    Another update on Christmas Mtns

    Next Tuesday, Nov. 6, at 10 AM, the School Land Board will meet in Austin to consider whether to sell the Christmas Mountains to private interests. Over the last two months Environment Texas supporters have sent in e-mails, signed petitions, written letters to the editor and generally pulled their hair out in frustration over Commissioner Patterson's scheme. Now it's time for us to, in terminology Patterson (a former Marine) would understand, put "boots on the ground" and turn out en masse for this hearing.

    Please attend the hearing and demand that Patterson stop the sale and let the Christmas Mountains become part of Big Bend National Park.

    WHERE: Stephen F. Austin Building
    1700 North Congress Ave. Room #170
    Austin, Texas 78701

    WHEN: Tuesday, Nov. 6 (yes, election day)
    Meeting starts at 10:00 A.M. (Christmas
    Mountains is item 10 on the agenda).

    If you can attend the meeting, please RSVP at:



    For more information, listen to a recent NPR story at:
    In Texas, the land commissioner has stirred a huge public outcry by refusing to sell a stretch of state-owned badlands to Big Bend National Park. The commissioner says the Christmas Mountains won't go to any entity that would ban firearms and hunting, as every national park now does.
