Re: DURBIN TO REINTRODUCE BILL TO PROTECT AMERICA'S RED ROCK WILDERNESS (MOAB)
Will this help?
Quote:
Dear Mr. Durbin,
I read the announcement today regarding your intent to re-introduce a bill protecting America's red rock deserts.
I am an avid camper, sightseer, and lover of the environment. However, I see all the sights and travel to all these spectacular places in my 4-wheel drive vehicle.
I am asking that you do not close the off road vehicle trails in Moab, Utah. I am an avid four-wheeler, and we ARE stewards of the LAND. We care about the environment. We are legitimate responsible recreationists and should be recognized as such.
I can agree with the halt in the new commercial enterprise/development, oil and gas exploration, and road building, but you make yourself out to be an elitist when you exclude 4-wheel drive recreation from the list of "non-consumptive" recreationists.
How are motorized/mechanized vehicles "consumptive" in the red rock desert or anywhere else for that matter?
Respectfully,
Your name here...

I'm not that great a letter writing, and this one is sort of personal, so please change it if you'd like.
