 Dear Representative Robert C. Scott,                        Date:
 
 As a Citizen of the United States I urge you as the Ranking Member of the Education and Workforce Committee to consider with all your colleagues to become aware of and consider being a co-sponsor of H.R. 2206 - The 21st Century Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) Act.  Your staff has signed petitions to the committee in October 2017.  A similar letter has been also sent to Virginia Fox .

H.R. 2206 - the 21st Century CCC Act, sponsored by Marcy Kaptur OH-9 would authorize the President to re-establish the Civilian Conservation Corps as a means of providing gainful employment to unemployed and underemployed citizens of the United States through the performance of useful public work, and for other purposes.  

The CCC demonstrated that there was absolutely no conflict between the preservation of the environment and the creation of jobs!   The CCC is regarded as the most popular government program in U.S. History, and was the government’s most lasting environmental effort as well.  This all public sector program will be a tangible investment in our Human and Natural Resource Capital.  

It would be non-partisan in scope as an alternative national service.   In WW2, one out of six in uniform served in the CCC! The CCC program will annually give over 300,000 openings for young unskilled adult citizens, able bodied Veterans and our forgotten Native Americans and also provide professional career opportunities for supervisor staff, engineers and scientists.  Other duties would include national defense and disaster relief. 

Please kindly send or email me a written response!

Respectfully Yours:

Nobelist, environmental leader Wangari Maathai dies

Kenyan environmentalist Wangari Maathai,

a founder of the Green Belt movement that pioneered the planting of trees in Africa

and a winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, died Sunday, September 25, 2011, of cancer at the age of 71.

Her movement led to the planting of an estimated 45 million trees.

 

Lets help her in her quest to replant trees in Kenya and throughout the WORLD through the CCC!
