i got this from pirate 4x4 this morning. something needs to be done about this. so pass it along to other club/wheeling sites you know of
Hey, fordman1978,
As you know, I rarely send emails to all of you. However this is of
extreme importance!
U.S. Forest Service Land Use Restrictions Imminent
Did you know that our access to the entire United States Forest from
coast to coast is in jeopardy?!?!?!
We are at DEFCON FIVE with the environmentalists and the U.S. Forest
Service!
Now is the time to act!!!
I am very proud of the readers of Pirate4x4.com lately. Our Land Use
forums have doubled in traffic over the past couple of months due to the
outrageousness of what is going on out there. If you haven't been to
our Land Use forums lately, I challenge you to take a look. I guarantee
you will get pissed off! When I saw the Draft Plan the Forest Service
put out for travel management on the Eldorado National Forest (where I
happen to live, and where the world famous Rubicon Trail is) that was the
last straw for me. I got pissed off and decided to do something about
it.
And it isn't just the Eldorado National Forest. Travel management
planning is going on in everyone's backyard whether it's Forest Service or
BLM. Anti-access extremists are out in force pressing for closures
everywhere. Tellico is threatened by an anti-access lawsuit. Moab access is
threatened by overzealous BLM planning. Wilderness bills are rampant in
Congress. Roadless area management is still being pushed in the
courts. Even the little recreation that there is available in our Parks is
still under attack. Check out the fight in Yellowstone.
It really is time to put up or shut up. I threw down the challenge last
month to donate in the forums, and we were able to raise about $8,000
for BRC. While that is fantastic, I think we can do a lot better.
Remember, without folks like the BLUERIBBON COALITION fighting for our
rights to use public land, we might as well take up basket weaving. Join the
Blue Ribbon Coalition and donate to the BRC Legal Fund. The beauty of
BRC is they combine all the user groups into one big fist. I stuck $500
of my own money in the fight and you need to do what you can. If it's
$20 or $5000, anything helps!!
While you are at it, get busy with your local club. Local involvement
is where BRC does some of its best work. If you don't belong to a club,
get off your butt and join one. You really CAN make a difference!
You can join BRC and donate to BRC Legal Fund online at a secure web
location, set up just for Pirate4x4 at join.sharetrails.org . It
only took me just a couple of minutes. If you aren't comfortable with
that, then call them at 1-800-BlueRib. If you can't afford to do both, at
least join BRC now and donate when you can afford it.
The members of Pirate4x4 can and will make a difference!
