Please read the petition; the general purpose is for:
PETITION FOR EQUAL AND SHARED MOTORIZED ACCESS TO OUR PUBLIC LANDS
We have signed this petition to ask our lawmakers, land use planners, and others involved with public lands to:
1. Seriously listen to our concerns and views regarding motorized access to and camping on public lands;
2. Sensibly and realistically adopt land use policies; and
3. Responsibly provide for equal and shared access to our public lands by all users, not just a select few.
For too long, the silent majority has sat back while a small group of environmental extremists have pushed their demand-driven agenda and dictated policies that they insist be imposed on all of us. It seems these days that if lands are scenic, green, wet or fun, those entrusted with public land management are devising ways to take them away from us. The "public"no longer seems to be the guiding factor.
We are greatly concerned and see, too frequently, little regard for the "human element" in closing off areas to camping and motorized vehicle use. Other aspects of resource management are given clear and often exaggerated priority. The focus most often seems to be on unrealistic land and resource protection, founded on extremist views and manufactured facts.
Motorized use, even when permitted, is based on unreasonably strict conditions. We and our families, as off-highway vehicle users, and campers end up being the ones unnecessarily hurt by these drastic decisions.
By this petition, we ask that common sense and reason guide all future governmental action relating to outdoor recreational use, and that lawmakers and governmental agencies provide for multiple use and equal and shared access by off-highway vehicle users to meet the legitimate needs of present and future generations.
