IMPORTANT CALL FOR ACTION!!

On the Saturday evening ABC World News, commentator Bill Redecker did a scathing hit piece on off-road recreation based on events at Glamis.

He called Glamis the most dangerous, illegal, out-of-control place in the world. He said the lawlessness is out of control and talked about thousands of arrests and people being killed and run over all of the time.

He showed a quad running through a fire with the rider catching on fire and talked like this is the normal kind of thing at Glamis.

He showed Daniel Patterson (CBD) :mad3: on his knee beside a poor milk vetch plant. He showed a beautiful field of yellow flowers in bloom (not in the dunes, of course). He let Patterson tell how off-roaders are totally destroying this wonderful, unique ecological treasure.

He made it clear that Glamis is not safe for decent families to visit.

If this kind of reporting upsets you, please email your comments to ABC News Chairman David Westin at: David.L.Westin@ABC.com

Done

I am disgusted with your "reporting". The piece you did on the off-roading at Glamis is standard eco-nazi retoric. I have been off-roading for years and because of ignorant people like yourself slandering the off-road community we are getting roads shut down by people like yourself using false information and misleading the public. I will also be writing your managers and sponsors to let them know I will not be watching ABC since obviously your personal agenda takes precidence over real reporting and the truth.

They are the parent of the ABC network. Let them know you would rather take your children to Glamis, than Disneyland, if they fail to offer a fair and unbiased report on the recreation at Glamis.

Disney should be more responsive than ABC.

Happy Trails!
