Smokey the Log

Campaign video for the Yes, Bush Can '04 campaign.

The Petition:
Whereas God ordered Adam to use of the fruits of the Garden of Eden as he saw fit;
whereas President Bush's forest policies allow us to use America's natural resources as we see fit, so long as they last;
whereas forest fires have an important role in these policies, by opening valuable public lands to 'salvage logging';
whereas 'Smokey the Bear' does therefore no longer adequately represent the complex po- litical realities of today, as trees have a good deal more utility and economic value than bears;
therefore we, the undersigned, hereby support replacing 'Smokey the Bear' with 'Smokey the Log' as the official mascot of the United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service.
