    The Utah delegation is like herpes.....

    Trust me you can vote for someone and not agree with everything they do. Im generally conservative, they are wrong on this subject including some I've voted for. As for gains, short term financial gains for a few with long term consequences for us all and every generation that follows. Federal...

    Enough of this side track church business. Use your energy on helping fight for our public land everyone. Let's stay on the path of agreement.

    The Utah delegation is like herpes.....

    I agree with many of the comments here. But the change we will see is in applying pressure at this point. I agree, vote these people out but for today we need to do our job and do what we can. Right now that is staying involved and applying pressure.

    The Utah delegation is like herpes.....

    Rob Bishop is asking for $50 million in taxpayer money to fund the transfer of public lands. Not only does this seem ridiculous to need $50 million to do so, but he is essentially asking you to not only give up your public lands, but pay to have them a step closer to sale. Please contact your...

    HR 622 needs to go

    Time to focus on HR 622. Contact your representatives whoever they are, and then make sure Chaffetz and Stewart hear us loud and clear. Time to pressure Stewart as well. HR 622 takes all law enforcement power away from the BLM and Forest service. I get why local control seems like a good idea at...

    Guns vs. Public Land - Which means more to you?

    We don't need to choose, we need to hold our representatives accountable. They have no right to take either away from us.

    HR 621 and 622 Death by a thousand cuts to public land

    Send one to your representatives in the house and senate. Join Backcountry hunters and anglers ($25 a year), donate to TRCP if you can, and join RMEF ($35 a year) if you can. You get a magazine for both places for a year as well if you buy a membership. I would say make sure you support at least...

    HR 621 and 622 Death by a thousand cuts to public land

    Pathfinder I agree that the BLM and Forest Service don't upkeep roads, but have you seen their budgets? over 50% of their annual budgets go to wildfire costs, sometimes more. It 2015 the Forest Service alone spent $700 million fighting wildfires. The biggest issue is, these agencies don't need...

    HR 621 and 622 Death by a thousand cuts to public land

    Listen, the federal government is not my favorite thing. The maintenance issue in some areas has to do with roads, bridges, prescribed burns and habitat projects, fighting wildfires, replanting, maintaining restroom facilities in some areas, surveying, approving permits, etc. Law enforcement is...

    HR 621 and 622 Death by a thousand cuts to public land

    A couple things. Utah is a huge state, with a small population of 3 million people. Yes I mis-spoke, not biggest, but one of the strongest. I also didn't say that Utahs economy is fully dependent on public lands. When you consider the grazing, industry, and recreation that occurs on these states...

    HR 621 and 622 Death by a thousand cuts to public land

    Lets insert some facts here instead of this BS. Actually 66% of Utah is federal PUBLIC land. Utah has the best economy in the nation, yeah it is actually #1. A lot of that has to do with the huge tourism things like our parks, skiing, and recreational activities that occur....well... on public...

    HR 621 and 622 Death by a thousand cuts to public land

    Agreed the sky isn't falling, but this is a good way to start what could be a hard 4 year period for public lands by scaring the shit out of any politician who had the slightest thought of introducing major legislation to transfer or sell our public lands. If sportsmen pound them over this, it...

    HR 621 and 622 Death by a thousand cuts to public land

    Chaffetz inbox is full. I would encourage anyone who can to call his office Monday or sometime next week to voice opposition to his two bills and request they get pulled back. Also, all my other reps inboxed were full as well, keep on the pressure. We are going to win this war.

    HR 621 and 622 Death by a thousand cuts to public land

    Today it's 3.3 million acres tomorrow its 640 million. If you haven't contacted your representatives on this issue, you really need to do so. Serious pushback needs to be shown here to kill the idea of both transferring or selling or public lands. For anyone who doesn't know yet HR 621 sells...
