Urgent, Urgent, Urgent, House May Cave On LWCF. Call Now.
The Senate & House have been Deadlocked Over LWCF Highway Bill Funds.
It looks like the House is beginning to cave.
That battle has now turned into funding a CARA like Trust Fund. The Greens want to set a precedent for these funds so the LWCF gets over $1 Billion dollars every year, automatically, off budget. That will be the death of rural America.
*Action Items: (The LWCF is a huge issue that threatens you).**
-----1. Please forward this message out quickly to at least 10 other people. Your whole list if possible.
-----2.. Call, fax and e-mail your Congressman. Deluge him or her with calls to stop the LWCF Funding. Call any Congressman at (202) 225-3121. Focus especially on the Congressmen on the LWCF Highway Bill Conference Committee and the House leadership listed below.
-----3. Call, fax and e-mail any Congressman or Senator from your state who is on the Conference Committee.
-----4. Call the leadership in the House. Make sure they know that if the House lets you down on the LWCF, you will remember in November.
We've listed their numbers below. Make sure they know that Republicans will not be given immunity on the LWCF issue. If they sell you out, you will remember.
-----5. Deluge the Speaker of the House John Boehner at (202)225-0600 or the Capital Switchboard at (202) 225-3121.
Urge him to oppose any LWCF funds in the Highway Bill Conference Committee. .
E-mail Boehner at: -- [email protected]
-----6. Call, fax and e-mail the offices of other House Leaders:
Rep. Eric Cantor House, Majority Leader (202) 225-4000
Fax: (202) 226-1115. E-mails: [email protected]
[email protected]
Rep. Kevin McCarthy, House Majority Whip (202) 225-0197
Fax: (202) 225-0781 E-mails: [email protected]
[email protected]
-----7. Call both your Senators. Call any Senator at (202) 224-3121.
Tell them the same thing. Pay special attention to the Senators on the Conference Committee. We've shown which Republicans sold you out by voting for the LWCF amendment.
-----8. Call your friends, neighbors and business associates. Get them to call, fax and e-mail your Congressman and Senators.
Who will win? Barbara Boxer (D-CA) and the Greens are fighting hard for the giant land acquisition LWCF trust fund.
The House is fighting back. But they are staring to cave in. They need to know you support them as they hold firm against the pressure from the Senate.
You are making history but you must keep up the pressure. This battle will likely go to the end of June or even beyond. But the LWCF part of the battle is raging now and will be decided shortly. Your calls, faxes and e-mails are
critical now.
Keep calling at least two or three members of the Highway Bill conference committee every day.
Your Time Is Now, Make History, Stop LWCF Highway Bill Funds
-----The Greens are going all out. They are calling every day. If you fail to call, fax and e-mail your Senators and
Congressmen, you will lose.
You must call, fax and e-mail your Congressman and both Senators.
PLUS, PLUS, PLUS The Members of the Conference Committee listed below.
-----If the Park Service, Forest Service, Fish and Wildlife Service and BLM get the EXTRA $1.4 Billion Dollars over their normal appropriations over the next two years the greens are going for, no community will be safe. Land acquisition will go crazy. The Greens want to use this as a precedent for spending every year.
-----No Trust Fund -- Don't allow the Greens to create a huge land acquisition trust fund that threatens rural America. Congress needs to cut the deficit and the debt, not buy private land and turn it into Federal land.
-----The Greens plan to use the huge trust fund money now in the Senate version of the LWCF Highway bill as a precedent to increase the amount of money Congress gives the LWCF EVERY YEAR. They want to make it a
Trust Fund like CARA. Don't let it happen.
Don't let down. Call, Fax and e-mail at least once a day.
The LWCF funds are taken right from the taxpayer. The 1.4 billion dollars comes right out of your pocket.
-----The "willing buyer, willing seller procedure of acquiring land touted by park officials is 'meaningless' and a more proactive method is generally used," said William Kriz, chief of Land Acquisition for the Park Service, in an article in the Concord Journal (Massachusetts) in 1988.

* **Keep calling until June 30th.*
It could go beyond that. We'll keep you informed. Call any Senator at (202) 224-3121. Call any Congressman at (202) 225-3121. You must make his or her phone come off the hook.
No land acquisition funds (LWCF) should be included in the Highway Bill.
The LWCF is a constant attack on Rural America. It is the attempt by the greens to drive rural people out of their homes and into the cities.
You do not want the Park Service, Forest Service, Fish and Wildlife Service and BLM to get these billions of dollars to buy millions of acres of private land and convert it to government ownership.
The land acquisition funding (LWCF) in the Senate Highway Bill threatens all private property owners, ranchers, farmers, miners, forestry and other users of both private as well as Federal land.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - You must bury these Conferees with calls, faxes and e-mails. We've listed an e-mail address for a staff person on the staff of each of the Congressmen and Senators on the Conference
Committee.
For the Senators you can see how they voted on the original LWCF (Land and Water Conservation Fund). Yea means they voted YES. That means if there is a Yea by your Senators name, he or she voted not to protect your. Her or she
voted for a massive expansion of Federal spending to buy private land.
Don't forget when sending to the staff of a Senator that there is an underscore between the first and last names.
