Here is what the link says. Its an auto mail generator type thing to your local legislators.
On June 6, U.S. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) introduced S. 3022, the Northern Rockies Ecosystem Protection Act. This legislation, previously introduced in 2010 and 2013, would inappropriately designate as federal Wilderness 23 million acres in Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington and Wyoming.
This Wilderness designation would make the 23 million acres off-limits to off-highway-vehicle riders, forever close thousands of miles of legal trails currently enjoyed by tens of thousands responsible OHV enthusiasts and their families and friends, and severely impact scores of local communities that depend on recreational tourism for their survival.
The American Motorcyclist Association supports the designation of Wilderness that meets the strict criteria set forth in the Wilderness Act of 1964. However, the vast majority of the 23 million acres in question do not meet the strict definition of Wilderness established by Congress.
Notably, the bill’s current sponsor (who represents residents of Rhode Island) and cosponsors do not represent any citizens in the affected areas, a strategy that ensures they do not invoke the wrath of their constituents.
Please fill out the form below and click the red “Submit” button to let your representative know that you oppose this inappropriate action.
Numerous studies have been conducted that indicate properly managed public lands ensure recreational opportunities for all citizens, are essential to mitigating devastating wildfire risks and that Wilderness designations cost local economies vital jobs and tax revenue.
The motorcycling community must rally together and stop S. 3022 in its tracks. This bill already has eight cosponsors in the Senate.
If this bill is signed into law, the effect on the OHV community would be devastating for generations to come.
Please contact your senators immediately and urge them to oppose S. 3022 so future generations of OHV enthusiasts and their families will have the opportunity to enjoy the public lands in Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington and Wyoming.
Now more than ever, it is crucial that you and your riding friends become members of the AMA to help protect our riding freedoms. More members mean more clout against the opponents of motorcycling. That support will help fight for your rights – on the road, trail and racetrack and in the halls of government. If you are a motorcycle rider, join the AMA at AMA Membership Sign-Up.
