Billie Joe just posted this message on the Green Day + NRDC Myspace page:
Will you take a minute to read this message from Robert Redford and then act? President Bush is only going to be in office for another month or so, but he can do a lot of damage between now and January 20th. Join me in taking action now to help save our Redrock wilderness.
Rock on,
Billie Joe
