All riders take action

National News affecting OHV access to federal public lands:

US House Resolution 652, the National Forest Ecosystem Protection Act,
was introduced by Rep. Robert Andrews (D-NJ) [another of the OHV-hater
states as you will recall].

HR 652 would: 1) Eliminate all commercial grazing on National Forests;
2) Eliminate all recreation (except primitive recreation ie. hiking) in
areas adjacent to Wilderness Areas; 3) Require the Forest Service to
prepare an Environmental Assessment; a) for study for wilderness
suitability for all primitive lands extending from existing designated
Wilderness Areas; b) to discuss ecological advantage of closing all
"unimproved roads" in the study area; 4) Authorize appropriations to:
a) spend $5 million to purchase private property within designated
Wilderness Areas in the West; b) spend $100 million to purchase private
property within primitive areas extending from existing designated
Wilderness areas in the East; 5) Close all unimproved, unmapped, and
non-system roads in primitive areas extending from existing designated
Wilderness areas.

Write to the two committees considering the bill and ask them to take no
action on House Resolution 652. The committees are: House Committee on
Agriculture, Chairman Bob Goodlatte, 1301 Longworth HOB, Washington, DC
20515 and House Committee on Resources, Chairman Richard Pombo, 1324
Longworth HOB, Washington, DC 20515.

Write them damn letters everyone. If we don't work together .... Will be talking about the remember when's in the good old days. Some if not a lot of us have already seen good riding areas now gone :( Don't forget those tree huggers are against you and me and slam us at these open meetings , those who have gone to any know what I mean.

Your right there and I have had some experience with the greenie types and though they have good intentions they get carried away with their efforts and sometimes miss a lot of potential supporteres etc.

Have to remember these groups are very organised and have very experienced speakers and researchers, and yes I guess many run these organisations like a corporation and are very successfull with achieving their intentions etc

We as a group need to be just as well equiped and organised and then we will have the firepower we need to be "heard" by out legislators, and till then its gonna be a battle
