| Rebuttal to future further closings in | ||
From a Watchdog in Milton-Freewater, Oregon
Please, folks, look at this attachment. It is the best response to the further closures that the Fed.'s have planned for the Wallowa Whitman, Umatilla and Malheur National Forest. This response was worked up by FAFA (Forest Access For All ) They were the main reason that this was held off last go'round. I just received the information from the USFS of the whole plan in their 'legaleeze'. Had to go to W.W. Dist Office. They had ONE copy that I could 'read' in the office - none on hand. This monster is 1400 pages and 9 pounds big! You can also go to http://www.fs.usda.gov/goto/BlueMtnsPlanRevision to overwhelm yourselves. Another 'planned overwhelm' in effort to baffle us with their brilliant B.S.!!! The idea is to restrict our Sundays drives in the mountains, motorized access, just as they have done with wilderness. This is their attempt to extend the wilderness non-access areas, slowly add more areas to semi-wilderness (soon to become wilderness) and then to restrict travel in the 'what's left' of the general forest. If they have their way, you will be restricted, in time, to only certain roads and only 20 to 300 feet off those roads over time, even in general forest non-wilderness. Many of the roads you now enjoy will be gated or blocked to traffic. This will not happen all in one swoop, but will slowly be implemented over time and they hope you will not notice or object if they take from you little bites..... Designated roads = limiting passage = WARNING!
Forest Access For All is doing above and beyond the call - trying to wake up the general population as to the seriousness of the takings of our rights to our national forests. They are holding meetings all over the impacted areas (see their site). There is more at stake than Sunday drives here. Loss of potential jobs, loss of access for fire protection, loss and restriction of hunting and fishing, mushrooming, woodcutting, and loss of the natural pure enjoyments found in our forests and much, much more. They do not want you on 'their land' even though you pay for it and it is part of your heritage. Wake up folks and get with the program, this is for real and forever!!! The loss will be felt for generations through all of our communities.
You have until Aug. 15th to get your response into their hands. Please, do not wait until Aug. 15th to post. You can get the 9lb. copy of your own from the main office near Wildhorse Casino (so I was told). Not sure of that address. Or you can call them at 541-523-1246 or 541-523-1302 or dist. offices (since, dist. offices may have none on hand to give out - order your own 9lbs through them.) Don't let them put you off, insist and stick to it. Their job is to dissuade you - their real job is to serve you. Their idea of a good response from you is NO RESPONSE. If nothing else, copy this attachment and go through it and write in your own words your objections somewhat item by item. If there is a group of you, you have to do it as individuals or it will only count as one person. We need to protect our rights to our forest - they have taken enough from us without our awareness - you want to give them more???!!!. When you write, please be somewhat specific. Generalities won't cut it. pol Be polite and politely firm! Send your responses to Blue Mountain Plan Revision, P.O.Box 907, Baker City, Oregon, 97814. You can email, but it may not have the impact of a letter... http://www.fs.usda,gov/goto/BlueMountainForestPlanRevisionComments or you can fax at 541-523-6392. Now, the work has been done for you...you can sit and do nothing...you can think on it until time is passed and hope that the 'some one else's' will have made the impact or you can get off you butts and join in the fight to save your heritage and your freedoms...at last!!! We need your help! FAFA needs your help! Anyone that depends on or enjoys the forests needs to deal with this now - politely and firmly!!! Sorry for yelling, but geeze folks what does it take??? You can go to the Forest Access For All site at www.FAFA.org for tons more information.
Please spread this around to all you know, to groups that use the forest, to anyone and everyone. Law of averages is that a small portion will take action - shame on you if you don't! Make copies with my e-mail whit explains how to use the rebuttal of it, for businesses that may be impacted....gun shops and clubs, snowmobilers, 4X4 groups, you get my drift. Ask them to forward it. Be bold and creative. All that is needed is for good men to be silent! O.K. now that I have thrashed you, thanks for your time, my friends...
