So this is wrong? They've completely changed? Done a 180 and have abandonded their roots? Abandonded their donors?

While the Blue Ribbon Coalition claims to be a grassroots groups representing the individual off-road vehicle user concerned about recreation on public lands, this report found that the coalition is closely tied to the timber, mining, and oil and gas industry as well as off-road vehicle manufacturers and dealers. Far from being a grassroots organization simply advancing an agenda of access to public lands for dirt bikes and all-terrain vehicles, this report documents how the Blue Ribbon Coalition is working hand-in-hand with resource extractive industries to keep our national forests open to logging, mining, oil and gas exploration and other destructive activities that are incompatible with recreational uses
For the record, I want land opened for "resource extracting". We, as a Nation, need to be more self-sufficient.
