HATCH VOTES FOR AMENDMENT TO BAR USE OF ANTIQUITIES ACT TO CREATE NATIONAL MONUMENTS

WASHINGTON – Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, voted late Thursday for an amendment that would bar the Obama administration from misusing the 1906 Antiquities Act to create large new national monuments in Utah and eight other states.

Introduced by Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., the amendment was defeated by a 58-38 margin. Hatch was disappointed at the outcome.

“America’s public lands belong to the people, not to government officials and environmental extremists,” Hatch said. “Decisions about Cedar Mesa, the San Rafael and other potential monument sites should be made in consultation with state and local officials in Utah, not behind closed doors in Washington and without any public input.”

Yeah man!!!

The win today was huge! It forever prevents a President from using the "Antiquities Act" to lock us out of OUR Public Lands like Clinton did right before he left office.

In 2005 the NFS estimated that there were 48-51 million OHV users. In the past five years since the NFS estimate I'd say OHV ownership and use has grown. There are approximately 300 Million people in the United States so given some real loose math, 1/6th of our entire population uses a motorized vehicle of one type or another when recreating, yet we let a vocal "Green" minority (granted they are well financed) dictate how and where we can use OUR Public Lands!

IMHO . . . we SXS users, as part of the larger OHV Community, need to get more involved in the fight for the OHV Community’s right to ride!

woo woo !!

BIG WIN...
