special places

Dearest Mr. Burns,
You are an extraordinary filmmaker, and I truly appreciate your incredible contribution to the cultural awareness that our country has been endowed with by your films about our nation's history. However, Americans today also need to know about the special places that still need to be set aside today for future generations to enjoy. These America lands are treasures that belong not only to the living today, but to those not yet born. These lands rival the most amazing parks, monuments and other protected use designations set by our Federal and State governments.
We cannot be satisfied with the actions of previous generations to protect these amazing American lands that belong to all of us, and would thoughtlessly be obliterated by the greed of a small minority. Today's remaining dwindling subset of natural spaces, which are pressured by the forces of exploitation of the ever-growing requirements of the extractive industries, also need to be documented by a visual artist and story teller of your extraordinary vision. It is my sincere hope that your next project will focus on the natural America that Theodore Roosevelt never saw, but would be astonished to know still exists in our modern nation, before all of it is vanquished to industrial mining practices solely to benefit the corporate motives of a selfish few.

Thanks again for the beauty and truth with which you have endowed our society. Please contact me at http://www.ourcolorado.org to learn more about these places that we must preserve for future generations.
