So I was deleting a single post of someone being a jerk, and I deleted the thread instead.   Luckily I used the back button of my browser which allowed me to cut and paste the original post form ducpainter....which is below.





Please read the following carefully and ACT now if you haven't already.   The following link permits you to send a message.  http://capwiz.com/amacycle/





Omnibus Public Lands Bill to be Voted on Monday, March 16!
Call your Senators NOW!



The American Motorcyclist Association urges everyone to contact their Senators to vote "No" on H.R. 146, the Revolutionary War and War of 1812 Battlefield Acquisition Grant Program.  This bill was formerly known as S. 22, the Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009, which would prohibit all motorized vehicle access including motorcycles and ATVs on over 2 million acres of public lands.  As you may know, S. 22 was defeated just days ago on March 11 in the U.S. House of Representatives.



Now, following defeat of the bill, the U.S. Senate leadership is expected to employ a little used parliamentary procedure that allows them to overcome the outcome of the House vote on S. 22.



The U.S. House of Representatives preserved your access to vital public lands when S. 22 fell two votes short of the two-thirds majority needed to pass on March 11th.  The successful defeat of the bill was only accomplished after thousands of concerned individuals, like you, contacted their Representatives to tell them to oppose the legislation. However, the Senate Leadership wants to try and un-do that success by bringing the bill back as a 1,300 page amendment to an unrelated bill for a vote as early as Monday.



With such a short time frame for action, the best way to tell your Senators to vote "No" on H.R. 146 is to call.  Click here to get the phone number for your Senators.  Enter your zip code in the "Find Your Officials" box and click on the name of your Senators.



If you would prefer to contact your Senators with e-mail, you may contact your Senators by clicking here.  We have pre-written a letter for your use.



Immediate action is critical to help keep 2.1 million acres of public land open to motorized recreation.  Please call your Senators and tell everyone you can to do the same.



Next week, every Senator must know to vote "No" on H.R. 146!

I want to know who the jerk was....
"Once you accept that a child on the autistic spectrum experiences the world in
 a completely different way than you, you will be open to understand how that
 perspective
    is even more amazing than yours."
    To realize the value of nine  months:
    Ask a mother who gave birth to a stillborn.
"Don't piss off old people The older we get, the less 'Life in Prison' is a deterrent."

Hide the children.

I don't know what pisses me off more; The idea that some ratmake the beast with two backs congressman introduced this in the first place, that it was only narrowly defeated by 2 votes, or that these bastards are at it again so quick!

Where's my damn pitchfork!

Okay, breathing back to normal, bloodpressure dropping......will call reps Monday, unless I'm already on their "no call" list. Will send polite emails.

every legislator should have to read William Cronon's piece on "wilderness" before they "preserve" anything.

WTF, what's this other bill that they're trying to tack it onto? I assume it's something that expect to pass or they wouldn't have used a trick like this.
