Recommended Posts

Guest KTMrad

There has been a lot of activity within the past 24 hours on the Dept of

Interior Appropriations bill (HR 4568). More information is available

at the Congressional web site:

http://thomas.loc.gov/home/approp/app05.html

Phone calls and emails are still needed. Use the link below to send an

email or use this link to find the contact information for your

officials: http://capwiz.com/share/home/ and call them.

It is easy and takes a few minutes. Your recreation opportunity is at

risk.

***** BRC ALERT ***** BRC ALERT ***** BRC ALERT ***** BRC ALERT *****

INTERIOR APPROPRIATION VOTE SOON DANGEROUS ANTI-ACCESS AMENDMENTS OFFERED

PLEASE TAKE ACTION TODAY!

Dear Subscriber,

Yesterday, BRC sent a nationwide ACTION ALERT to all our subscribers

regarding possible amendments being considered to Interior Appropriations

bill in Washington D.C. I want to thank all of you who responded to our

ALERT.

There is a piece of good news to report! Earlier today, an amendment was

offered by Congressman Duncan Hunter from California that would prohibit

the

BLM from using user fees for environmental monitoring and studies of

endangered species.

Such things should not be funded by recreational fee program. Fees for

camping or other activities on public lands should go to facilities and

maintenance that provide a direct benefit to those paying these fees.

I want to strongly encourage you to TAKE ACTION on this important piece of

legislation. Our recreational access is still threatened by these

politically

motivated amendments.

Potential amendments include efforts to diminish R.S. 2477 road rights,

unwise changes to the Forest Service Planning regulations, the

elimination of

snowmobile access to Yellowstone National Park and one that will force the

Forest Service to implement Clinton?s Roadless Rule.

Most of these riders are BAD NEWS for OHV users and could, if passed, close

thousands of miles of roads and trails. BRC is working hard to educate

legislators on the effects they will have to millions of Americans who

enjoy

vehicle access on our public lands. WE NEED YOUR HELP!

We desperately need all BRC members and supporters to contact their

Congressman immediately.

BlueRibbon Coalition has made it extremely easy for you to contact your

Congressional representative. Just click the link below to send your

message.
