DeGette protests Roan Plateau drilling

The text is from a press release from CD1 congresswoman Diana DeGette. The links have been inserted by yours truly:

"I am furious with the Bush Administration for issuing a plan to open the Roan Plateau for oil and gas drilling. The sweeping cliffs, roaring waterfalls and old-growth aspen trees of the Plateau could be completely decimated by the Bush Administration's plan... The Administration has arrogantly ignored thousands of comments from concerned citizens and surrounding communities who want the Plateau preserved for its natural beauty, recreation opportunities, and wildlife habitat. I will do everything in my power to stop this short sighted and destructive proposal."
