If you like Moab, do something

so - i dont know what i missed.. i caught like 5 - 10 min of it and then they are all "30 min break" ... can someone sumerize what was said already?
 
WTF! BLM wants to move forward - even though they have no idea what land is in question. "so, is there a map somewhere dictating which plots of land are in question" "no" "so you are agreeing to move forward on creating a 9 million acre national park - but you dont know where it is?" "yes, but we will work with the committee with an on the ground survey to determine where the lines are to be drawn"

Atleast he said that the lines will be drawn with OHV enth. in mind.


i turned off the live feed.... poloticians are stupid. Typical - Lets move forward with a plan - even though we dont have the specifics, and we will make it up as we go... all in favor "I"
 
the propossed area of land is equal to the entire size of NJ and MA together! Ontop of what is already there! good lord!.. ats 18% of Utah being proposed in that bill.
 
Here's the reply that I got:

Dear Timothy,

 Thank you for contacting me with your support for the <st1:place w:st="on" xmlns:st1="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags"><st1:country-region w:st="on">America</st1:country-region></st1:place>'s Red Rock Wilderness Act. I appreciate your comments, and I welcome this opportunity to share my thoughts.

<st1:place w:st="on" xmlns:st1="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags"><st1:country-region w:st="on">America</st1:country-region></st1:place> is blessed by diverse natural beauty and an abundance of natural resources. From camping, hunting, and other outdoor recreational activities to wildlife observation and habitat preservation, Americans use and enjoy the gifts of our country's varied landscapes. As a result, I believe our nation's lands deserve strong support from the federal government.

 On April 2, 2009, Congressman Maurice Hinchey of <st1:state w:st="on" xmlns:st1="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags">New York</st1:state> introduced <st1:place w:st="on" xmlns:st1="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags"><st1:country-region w:st="on">America</st1:country-region></st1:place>'s Red Rock Wilderness Act, H.R. 1925. This bill would designate sections of the red rock canyons of the Colorado Plateau and <st1:placename w:st="on" xmlns:st1="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags">Great Basin</st1:placename><st1:placetype w:st="on" xmlns:st1="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags">Deserts</st1:placetype> in <st1:place w:st="on" xmlns:st1="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags"><st1:state w:st="on">Utah</st1:state></st1:place> as wilderness areas. A wilderness designation would provide permanent federal protection for more than 9 million acres of land in an effort to preserve its beauty for future generations. It would also allow for increased recreational use and strengthen the economic benefits for the communities that rely on local tourism. Shortly after its introduction, H.R. 1925 was referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources. While I am not a member of this committee, please be assured I will keep your views in mind should this legislation come before the House for consideration.

Thanks again for taking the time to share your views with me. If you would like to learn more about my positions on issues important to you or receive regular updates on developments in Congress, please visit my Online Office at www.ellsworth.house.gov and sign up for my e-Newsletter.

I got a response back form my Congressman today. I followed the link to the AMA letter JIA posted in his first post, filled in the blanks and this is the response I got back:

"October 2, 2009
Mathew XXXXXXXX

Lakeside, Montana 59922

Dear Mathew:

Thank you for your letter expressing support for H.R. 1925, America's Red Rock Wilderness Act. The bill has been referred to the Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests and Public Lands and is awaiting consideration.

I appreciate your support for conservation and protective measures in Southern Utah. I, too, want to conserve the clean air, clean water, and aesthetic beauty on the public lands of Utah. However, I do not support H.R. 1925 the way it is currently drafted.

In its current form, H.R. 1925 does not effectively provide the most realistic and reasonable approach to solving the wilderness debate. For example, many Utah citizens would find their livelihood and economic well being in serious jeopardy due to new regulations and restrictions on public lands. These restrictions make it impossible for good citizens to continue visiting, fishing, or even accessing areas they have lived near and frequented their entire lives. In addition, decisions affecting lands where Utahans live, work, and recreate should be made locally and not by federal bureaucrats or politicians in Washington, D.C. In fact, my colleague in Congress whose district would be affected by this legislation is not a cosponsor.

Public lands serve a variety of functions and uses. It is imperative that a fair balance be struck between all these uses and I am confident this can be accomplished. I strongly believe federal land can be responsibly managed in a manner that provides enjoyment and protection where warranted.

Thanks again for contacting me. For more information or to sign up for my e-newsletter, please visit http://house.gov/rehberg. I regret that we do not agree on this issue, but I do appreciate hearing your views and hope that you will continue to stay in touch.



Sincerely,
Denny Rehberg
Montana's Congressman"

WTF?:roll: I didn't and don't support this dumbass bill... At least I know my Congressman doesn't support it in its current form, though....
