Congress to Vote on H.R. 1925 America's Red Rock Wilderness Act This Thursday!

Moab Might Be Gone Forever!

Posted Today 01:35 PM by 4WOR Web Editor

Filed under: Miscellaneous, Jason Gonderman

The Chairman of the Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests and Public Lands of the U.S. House Committee on Natural Resources has scheduled a hearing on October 1 to consider H.R. 1925, America's Red Rock Wilderness Act of 2009.

This legislation -- which will ban off-highway vehicle (OHV) access to public lands to those who live and recreate in
Utah -- was introduced by New York Representative Maurice Hinchey.

However, not a single Representative from Utah is supporting H.R.1925.

Specifically, H.R. 1925 would designate more than nine million more acres as federally protected "Wilderness," and directly affect the Moab, San Rafael Swell and Chimney Rock areas (to name a few) in Utah.

These popular OHV areas represent some of the most important remaining OHV recreation areas in Utah, and are some of the most popular with responsible OHV riders. The proposed Wilderness designation would also make the land off limits to ATV riders, mountain bikers and horseback
riders.

Coming on the heels of the recently enacted Omnibus Public Land Management Act, which closed 2 million acres of public lands, this vast Wilderness bill will take away additional recreation opportunities currently enjoyed by local residents and visitors alike.

The AMA needs your help now to stop H.R. 1925. The fastest way to reach your U.S. Representative is to call them. You can find contact information for your elected officials by entering your zip code on AmericanMotorcyclist.com, clicking on "Rights," then "Issues and Legislation." Additionally, a prewritten e-mail is available for you to send to your Representative immediately by following the "Take
Action" option and entering your information.

Please contact your Representative right away and urge them to oppose H.R. 1925.

It's VERY VERY SIMPLE! Just click here...

... and you will be taken to the AMA's (American Motorcycle
Association) website. Enter your zip code and a letter will be sent to your representative urging them to vote NO on this bill.

Do it NOW! please

and stickied.

If you are reading this thread don't be a slackass and not follow the links and do your part. It will take less than 5 minutes of your life and could potentially make a big difference as we all have different representatives across the country that need to hear from us.

Don't take your head out of the sand only to change mouthfuls, go click the link and do your part!

I want Moab to still be there one day when I get the time to drag my old ass out there!

After you follow the link post up you did your part to bump this thread!

Get busy people!

Click the link and scroll down and click this one: "Congress to hold hearing on closing 9 million acres in Utah "

I grew up in the 4corners and have spent time in that area. Its beautiful, don't want to see it taken away!!!

WD_40 · 09-30-2009, 08:37 AM

Done, and it took less than a minute. Take one minute of your time and send a message to your rep!

dannomite · 09-30-2009, 08:39 AM

I am up in Northern Canada and I am bothered by this. Please take the couple of minutes to be proactive and help to stop this.

Agent Orange · 09-30-2009, 09:23 AM

Done. I already get emails from Buck McKeon of the 25th of California. I've always wanted to get out there, and now that I'm getting my truck finally close to go, they want to close it all up

malteserunner · 09-30-2009, 09:44 AM

E-mailed! Thanks for posting this thread. Keep up the good work.

RMA · 09-30-2009, 10:08 AM

Done , really would love to go one day , and hope its still open to everyone.

forwarded to 3 friends also per website ..

OrRunner · 09-30-2009, 11:19 AM

Done, and got 5 others at my work to send emails, The worst part about the whole thing is that the people who take the best care of our out door recreation areas are the ones who use it the most like everyone on this board. This will not be good if they manage to get it passed, lets keep our fingers crossed

seanmearse · 09-30-2009, 11:33 AM

E-mailed. Total crap, but what more could you expect from these control freaks. Figures it would be someone from New York, propably hasn't even been anywhere near Moab before. I say we get this guy and

him in a cage.

Blacktoy · 09-30-2009, 11:47 AM

I did my part, I still haven't even gone yet!!! Come on tree huggers, give us some slack!

dark_fairytales · 09-30-2009, 01:16 PM

man that was the simplest one yet to be proactive

***Corey*** · 09-30-2009, 01:31 PM

Can someone make me a graphic for the front page to put up?
Maybe a wheeling pic of you at Moab?
I would shrink the pic down to 320x240 which would look good near the top of the center column.

If not, I can use the smilie generator I use to make the smilies holding signs, and I can put that up with a link to this thread to bring attention to go to that URL.

Lumpy · 09-30-2009, 01:41 PM

Western PA is saying no to this bill!!!
