AZ Access Advocates: Have any of you dealt with U.S. Rep. Raúl Grijalva (Chairman of the Natural Resources Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests and Public Lands)?

And have you heard of the letter he is getting signatures for???

 

[Dry Cownty Brewer]

No, do tell.

Is there anyone that downhillers don't piss off? ;-)

 

[Visicypher]

a little off topic, but 6-60-6 why does "Jacked on Java & Nicotine" remind me of "coffee, cigarettes, and donuts" ala Fishbone???

And yeah...I was wondering what y'all thought about this, seein' Raul is from Az.

Copy and paste.

I am writing to ask you to reject a request from U.S. Rep. Raúl Grijalva to sign his "Dear Colleague" letter. The letter calls for the Forest Service to manage Recommended Wilderness like Wilderness, including a blanket ban on mountain biking.

While the intention of the Grijalva letter is to halt uses that damage national forests -- such as logging, mining, road building and motorized vehicle traffic -- it needlessly includes mountain biking in an accompanying list of incompatible uses. Forest Service regulations are very clear, existing uses may continue as long as they don't impair the land for future designation. (FSM 1923.03)

I am asking that you only sign the letter if it is amended with the following language:
"Mountain bicycling may continue where currently permitted, pending a Wilderness designation. Such a designation can only be made by the Congress."

Thank you,
Yuri B

Called his office to leave a message and his outgoing message has not been changed since before the New Year. Government elected officials should be lynched old west style!
