LYIN' KING,
Congratulations, our ideas were heard and accepted. More land will be preserved!!
President Obama has launched a national dialogue about conservation in America to learn about some of the smart, creative ways communities are conserving outdoor spaces.
The voting tool is available to encourage interaction among those interested in America's Great Outdoors. All comments submitted will be considered.
What are your ideas on the following topics:
* Challenges - What obstacles exist to achieving your goals for conservation, recreation, or reconnecting people to the outdoors?
* What Works - Please share your thoughts and ideas on effective strategies for conservation, recreation and reconnecting people to the outdoors.
* Federal Government Role - How can the federal government be a more effective partner in helping to achieve conservation, recreation or reconnecting people to the outdoors?
* Tools - What additional tools and resources would help your efforts be even more successful?
Your ideas and comments from the previous three topics have been archived and will be delivered to the America's Great Outdoors team for inclusion in the report to the President. The four new topics now match those on comment cards provided at AGO Listening Sessions, in order to optimize the organization of ideas and comments.

I think that is a compliment!! Well done folks! So many of us at the grassroots level are now at the forefront of these issues that we are being noticed. THAT is a good thing!My apologies, thank you for the reminder Bebe!

"Congratulations to all of us that took the time to post ideas and comments on our hard worked win. With Sec. Salazar and director Abbey's announcement that the BLM and Dept of Interior will be protecting more wild lands and the wildlife that live there, it proves that our ideas, comments and votes on this site were read, heard and accepted.
You all deserve a huge pat on the back for your time, your ideas, your comments and your votes promoting conservation and protection of our wild lands and wild life. The forests thank you, the wildlife thanks you and the country thanks you all!!!
While the future will bring many more challenges and heartbreaks and we have much more work to do, we can at least breathe a sigh of relief and rejoice for the land that will be set aside and protected from big oil, coal and development because of the effort so many of you put in.
A special thanks to Alden Moffat, Ted Harris, Michael Terry and Richard Spotts for being the leaders in the fight against the well organized ohv community and fringe right wing extremists who were intent to destroy the true meaning of this site."
If we were doing everything possible, this "Idea" would already be "Demoted" to where it belongs along with all the “Ideas” submitted by those who were named as their "leaders".I think that is a compliment!! Well done folks! So many of us at the grassroots level are now at the forefront of these issues that we are being noticed. THAT is a good thing!
