87Warrior Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 It is time for the users of any public land to let it be known that you wish to keep it that way. https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/save-johnson-valley-ohv-area-be-fiscally-responsible-stop-29-palms-marine-base-expansion-keep-public/5r0C7Xw4 If we get 25,000 signatures in one month, the White House has to respond to our concerns. The group that has been fighting to save Johnson Valley has made some good headway by getting an amendment attached to the recent Defense bill that just passed. Basically, the amendment sends the Marines back to the table to assess the impact that the expansion would have on the economy. The Marines themselves admit they no longer need this land but the order to take it was given five years ago and it's hard to stop the train once it's left the station. Please send this to everyone you know!!!!!!!!! 1000 signatures every day. Spread the word! Thanks in advance for your help in keeping public lands public.
Donkey Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 #2013 just shy of 5000 last time I looked if we keep this up and we could hit the new number required for petitions of 100,000 even tho they got this one in under the 25,000 goal. Sign and share!!!
Butchershop Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 Not sure who is involved, but it would appear to be more serious if "SIGANTURES" was spelled correctly in the ad.
87Warrior Posted January 16, 2013 Author Posted January 16, 2013 Not sure who is involved, but it would appear to be more serious if "SIGANTURES" was spelled correctly in the ad. That was the first thing I noticed when I saw the picture. Knowing most folks don't like reading, I figured it would be appropriate to capture what is going on at a quick glance so I borrowed it from Facebook. If you wish to see who is the backbone of this movement visit: http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1115194 I have never been to JV. I have never participated in a KOH race. I do not have any rig suitable to tackle the course. I do, however, spend 95% of my time wheeling on public land owned by the government. We all benefit from the guys involved with the KOH. Manufactures step up aftermarket support through designs and trials through the cars in the KOH. All of the manufactures with top of the line products have close ties to JV and the KOH. Even the Sierra Club opposes the JV take over. When was the last time wheelers and the Sierra Club had a common goal? That in its self should speak volumes.
