Found this on Those Guy's Offroad also. We need everyone to do both of these options to let our President know that we want access to our land.

 

Folks, this is very simple to do.... so do it!

 

 

Urge your Members to Oppose Efforts to Lock Up Enormous Tracts of Public Lands

 

 

Earlier this week non-motorized recreation groups joined a number of Utah businesses on a letter to President Obama urging him to designate 1.4 million acres of public lands in Utah as a National Monument. The letter stated, ?Federal land use plans inappropriately open scenic and undeveloped land to drilling and mining and fail to address exploding off-road vehicle use that is damaging riparian areas, cultural sites, soils and solitude? (emphasis added). Of course the letter fails to note that a recent management plan was put in place for the area that is supported by local governments and limits motorized and non-motorized activities to routes that have been subject to environmental analysis and public involvement. Further, the letter from non-motorized organizations cites an economic impact study that shows ?that outdoor recreation is ?an overlooked economic giant,? generating $646 billion in national sales and services in 2011 and supporting 6.1 million jobs...? Again, they are telling only part of the story. The same study shows that approximately $257 billion or nearly 40% of the total $646 billion in economic impact is derived from motorized recreation. And, as you know, motorized recreation is far too often shut out of National Monument areas.

 

 

ARRA and our partners are pushing back. Click here to view a response letter signed by 14 national organizations representing responsible motorized recreation. This letter is a start, but we need your help to ensure that the President understands that effective land management is best achieved through deliberative local processes that engage all stakeholders ? not through Administrative fiat.

 

 

Please click the Take Action link to send an email to the President opposing this and other massive, inappropriate designations of National Monuments. It is important for motorized recreation enthusiasts all across the country to weigh in as today anti-access organizations have targeted Utah, but tomorrow it may be your state.

jesus... its always a constant fight with hippies over land use. @#$%, theres more than enough land for everyone but I'm sure they only see the ignorant rednecks with beaters trashing up the place with beer cans, food wrappers, oil/fluid spills or roll over debris. they never see the countless people picking up, cleaning up, rebuilding bridges, roads and trails they use too. i swear those people just make my blood boil. i mean even around here there are extreme envirmentalists who'd rather see a tree live than a person. give me a break :nuts:

 

 

on the other hand, i could agree with some issues tree huggers do bring up. like cutting down forests, polluting water ways etc. etc.
