ALL LAND-USE DECISIONS ARE POLITICAL DECISIONS

Hey folks! I just wanted to swing by and remind you about all the OHV friendly legislation approved by the House and long ago handed off to the Senate for a vote, where it sits rotting.

There is a Political Action Committee (TPAC), the only Pro-Access “PAC” in the Nation, who wants to stop the madness.

They want to end the dead lock on access to OUR public lands by removing the bums in office with your help in the voting booth.



The TrailPAC

"The Trail Political Action Committee (TPAC) was founded as the first national non-partisan political action committee dedicated solely to championing responsible off-highway vehicle recreation on designated roads, trails, and areas on public lands through the electoral and legislative processes.
*
The TPAC tactical goal is to target key races using state-of-the art real-time analysis where there is a tough election and the pro-access candidate needs some extra support to help to defeat their opponent.
*
TPAC is needed to counter the anti-access special interests in Washington DC who have long ago figured that contributing to closure-oriented politicians is how they will accomplish their goal of restricting OHV access on federal lands.
*
TPAC is ready to stand in that political breach to stop the flow of anti-access politicians into the Capital. TPAC will work hard to reverse that trend so that pro-access legislators will exist as the majority in Congress and the White House."

Trail Hero Congressman Wally Herger’s Message to Access Voters


“Dear Trail Voter,

Public land recreationists have a lot at stake in the 2012 election. Your participation in this political process is critical. We must elect a pro-access majority to the U.S. Senate and maintain and grow our majority in the House of Representatives.

During my service in Congress, I have fought hard to protect and enhance multiple-use recreation on federal lands. House members have introduced and passed legislation that defends trail use and stops the aggressive use by EPA and other government agencies of politically motivated-regulations to restrict our access to Forest Service and BLM lands.

Unfortunately, the leadership in the U.S. Senate is blocking all access and regulatory reform and oversight efforts in that body. America needs to vote in senate candidates who will champion responsible use of our public lands.

I believe that you can make a difference in this critical election. That is why I am asking you to join me in support of the Trail PAC's effort to elect pro-trail candidates to the U.S. Senate and grow the House majority.

By working together we can take on the powerful radical environmental lobby to ensure continued access to our public lands for responsible trail-based recreationists and their families.

Sincerely,

Wally Herger
U.S. Representative”



Like all other Political Action Committees, TPAC needs donations to assist pro-access candidates in their bid for office.

If you’d like to learn more about TPAC, find out about key races Nationally or make a small contribution to the effort go here: http://www.thetrailpac.com/

Thank you. Please keep us informed on how to help! We have a great group here and we try to stay active.

Thank you!

As can be seen by my past activity I’ve been a contributor for years. I took a break and don’t intend to post on a regular basis but I do believe that the only way to win the war is to emulate the adversaries tactics, hence a PAC is long overdue and worthy of supporting IMHO!

Unlike litigious tactics that many call for donations to support, but quickly go ”black” when the “Plaintiffs” enter into them, there is on-going accountability and transparency as governed by laws dealing with PACs. I can see what my donation is doing real time and I like that!!

I also like the fact that the ONLY PAC out there fighting BIG GREEN (TPAC), coupled with informed voters like us, can make a mark and show results in every Election cycle, instead of over the multiple years or decades that lawsuits often take.

Never mind the initial and on-going costs of entering into a suit against Government agencies and the uncertainties along the way, which are all un-sustainable and unsatisfactory in my mind.

So, support access via this mechanism or any others that are worthwhile but support something!

Personally, litigation is the very LAST alternative and should be entered into eyes-wide-open.

Get rid of the bums in Politics who are anti-access and we’ll move pro-access legislation forward.

The House, for enactment by the Senate, has passed a bunch of pro-access legislation via the voice and vote of we the people over the past few years, yet it now sits and rots there.

ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
