Save Wheeling in Utah

[Icemanii]

Once again, those here in the midwest and the east coast are trying to close down wheeling in Utah. Remember, even if you don't plan to wheel out west, don't be fooled into thinking they won't come after MI sometime soon. The more they close, the easier it gets.

Rich, Thanks for reminding me about this:

H.R. 1925 Would Eliminate Motorized and Mechanized Access to Over 9 Million Acres of Public Land in UT.

Please click here to let Members of the House Natural Resources Committee, Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests and Public Lands know that you oppose H.R. 1925, "America's Red Rock Wilderness Act of 2009." H.R. 1925 would designate over 9 million acres of land in Utah as Wilderness. If the bill were to become law, each of these 9 million acres would be made permanently off-limits to motorized and mechanized recreation, including off-highway motorcycles, ATVs, 4x4s, snowmobiles and mountain bikes.

The House Parks, Forests and Public Lands Subcommittee will hold a hearing on the legislation on October 1st. As a constituent with a member on the Subcommittee it is imperative that you weigh in to protect access. Today riding areas in UT are in jeopardy tomorrow it might be your state! Use the link below to help make it clear that Wilderness bills like H.R. 1925 that designate mammoth tracks of land as wilderness without regard for current recreational opportunities and without input from the local and recreational communities are unacceptable to recreationists.

Please use the link below to send a letter to your Member opposing H.R. 1925

Odd???


It worked fine for me.
I had to change the word "riding" to "driving", but that was no biggie.

There is less then 48 hours until they vote maybe to close Moab to wheeling forever.

What will you do in that time to save our sport?
