Clinton Land Legacy

[Mo]

!!!!!!!! ACTION ALERT !!!!!!!!
THIS IS A MAXIMUM IMPACT EFFORT

--- SEND EMAIL TO HOUSE RESOURCES COMMITTEE ---

The House Committee on Resources is geared to tackle Clintons
Land Legacy in the 107th Congress. However, they need to hear
from thousands of multiple-use recreationists who feel that
Clintons Forest Rules and Monuments will close too many
important roads and trails on our public lands.

Committee Chairman, James V. Hansen, said in a recent statement,
This Administration has imposed an arbitrary road ban over a third
of this nations national forests. He has shut the American people
out of their own land, endangered wildlife habitats and guaranteed a
dramatic increase in devastating wildfires.

If you are concerned about a loss of access,
please send an email note to:

Chairman James Hansen
House Committee on Resources
resources.committee@mail.house.gov

Thanks for your prompt attention to matter.

Here is the letter I sent to the Resource Committee. Please feel free to use it, modify it, forward it to others with similar view points, whatever.


To Members of the House Committee on Resources:

I urge you do do what you can to repeal the arbitrary road bans imposed by President Clinton's executive orders.

Overlooking the questionable ethics of circumventing the Congress, and the potential damage the lack of management will cause these areas, the heart of the matter is how the President's actions will prohibit Americans from enjoying America.

Without the existing roads in the locked areas, very few people will be able to enjoy these areas. Only those healthy enough, strong enough, and financially stable enough to take several weeks to hike into these areas will ever see the beauty that President Clinton is preserving. These lands should absolutely be protected. But they should be protected FOR the people, not FROM the people.

Road closures, Wilderness declarations and National Monuments are not the way to preserve these lands for our progeny. These methods lock the land. Who will unlock it? When?

We (your Committee and all Americans) need to work with those who earn their living from these lands, live on and near these lands, spend their precious free time enjoying these lands. Only then can a policy be developed that will preserve these areas for generations to come, without prohibiting us from enjoying these lands now.

Sincerely,

Maurice Cox
