Oppose Omnibus Land Grab Act of 2008
The newly elected Congress may hold a vote as early as Sunday 1/12/09 on a massive land grab bill S.22 that will lock up millions of additional acres of public land, close thousands of miles of recreation trails, harm already struggling rural economies, further reduce renewable resource harvesting, be detrimental to forest health by eliminating all forest management, restrict property rights and hamstring energy exploration in the United States.
The bill would create over 100 new Wilderness Areas, Wilderness Study Areas & Conservation Areas, many without Public or local involvement or support. It would eliminate existing energy production leases, forcing more dependency on foreign energy sources & further increasing the cost of energy in the US. The proposed Wilderness areas do not even meet the intent of the Wilderness Act as untouched by the hand of man.
The bill would codify the National Landscape Conservation System (NLCS) currently consisting of 40 million acres of land administered by the BLM. The NLCS would threaten the Bureau of Land Management's long-standing multiple use strategy by placing conservation and preservation of "nationally significant landscapes" above traditional uses.
Elected officials need to hear loud and clear that the Omnibus Land Act S.22 is bad for the environment, bad for the economy & bad for the public.
