Please read the letter from Michelle, and take the time to sign the petition. The new administration will not be kind to us and we need to act early and often.
It does matter who governs…one of the biggest supporters of the new administration is the Environmental Lobby. The Public Land Grab will proliferate under this group. Unfortunately, it will not be for “public” recreational use as we know it. If you think Tennessee has been bad about allowing OHV trails, can you imagine big government pushing an even worse agenda?
If you have a moment, click on the link in the message below and follow the directions. I am a firm believer that every person in this country needs to take an active role in being a “citizen”. Every voice does count!

Dear Iva-Michelle,
I know you are concerned about closures of our public lands. The Omnibus Land Act of 2008 is a massive land grab bill that will lock up millions of additional acres of public land, close thousands of miles of recreation trails, harm already struggling rural economies, further reduce renewable resource harvesting, be detrimental to forest health by eliminating all forest management, restrict property rights and hamstring energy exploration in the United States.
If there were awards for bad legislation this bill might take first, second & third, but unless more people speak up it is likely to pass. Please take two minutes to submit a pre drafted letter to legislators opposing this bill by clicking below
