Dakota Slim Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 President Obama says he is committed to creating the most open and accessible administration in American history.I sent him the following message today. You can contact him at http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/.Dear President. Obama, I have read your agenda on transportation. It reads in part, "As our society becomes more mobile and interconnected, the need for 21st-century transportation networks has never been greater." I agree with this agenda as do most Americans but I would like to point out that this congress wants to close off the roads in millions of acres with a wilderness bill that takes this land away from the people by closing off our access. Please veto Bill Number S.22. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakota Slim Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Here's what Obama has to say about sportsmen:President Obama did not grow up hunting and fishing, but he recognizes the great conservation legacy of America's hunters and anglers and has great respect for the passion that hunters and anglers have for their sports. Were it not for America's hunters and anglers, including the great icons like Theodore Roosevelt and Aldo Leopold, our nation would not have the tradition of sound game management, a system of ethical, science-based game laws and an extensive public lands estate on which to pursue the sport. The President and Vice President recognize that we must forge a broad coalition if we are to address the great conservation challenges we face. America's hunters and anglers are a key constituency that must take an active role and have a powerful voice in this coalition.Speak up now or kiss this land good-bye.
