Got the below in my email. Takes a second to fill out an email, even if you're not from NJ, this affects you indirectly. Land use is everyone's issue. Please take action. Sorry if this belongs elsewhere.

Ignore all previous messages.......Xtreme Habitat needs your help:Assemblyman Eric MunozWants You Out of NJ! ASSEMBLY Bill , No. 2238A new bill in NJ proposes to eliminate off highway vehicles (motorcycles, ATVs and snowmobiles) from state parks and state forests. This bill would effectively squash the Xtreme Habitat proposal to create a recreation facility including mountain and BMX bicycles, inline skates, skateboards, facilities for persons with disabilities as well as motorcycles and ATVs. For information about Xtreme Habitat visit www.xtremehabitat.org Please review the information below and contact your elected leaders.HIT THE PANIC BUTTON HARD!!! The Sierra Club is backing a campaign to eliminate all ATVs, snowmobiles and motorcycles from state land. If they get their way, there won't be any NJ enduros, dual sports or h/s in 2003.They already have a bill in the NJ Assembly. These people are very serious and usually get their way. You must read the bill in its entirety. It outlaws snowmobiles, ATVs and motorcycles from everywhere in NJ except your garage.Here is the bill # 2238 introduced in the NJ State Assembly on May 9th. The synopsis: "Prohibits use of all-terrain vehicles, dirt bikes, off-road motorcycles, and other similar off-road vehicles in State parks and forests." It also forbids the NJ DEP from issuing permits for organized "special events" (enduros, dual sports, hare scrambles). Read the entire bill and there is no doubt it is directed straight at you.Here is the gentleman who introduced the bill. Assemblyman Eric Munoz - District 21 (Essex, Morris, Somerset and Union). It's quite obvious he isn't interested in your point of view, even if you voted for him.The campaign is directed at NJ Governor James E. McGreevey. You can contact the Governor and voice your opposition to the bill in one of threeways:You can leave the Governor a direct message.on his web site. http://www.state.nj.us/governor/govmail.html Governors Telephone - 609.292.6000 Governors Fax - 609.292.3454Here is a list of all the NJ Legislators. http://12.107.80.70/Members/roster.asp You want to start out by writing to your own Senator and Assemblyman.
