WILD SKY LOCKUP

[sailBOI]

CLOSED - KEEP OUT - The message to all you Climbers !

 

The Wild Sky Wilderness is being pushed by some of the same groups that are trying to Keep the Dosewallips Access Rd. closed. Their claim that Wild Sky will ensure continued access is a FABRICATION. As soon as a road washes out, they will be there with a KEEP OUT SIGN !

 

You have until this Thursday to send a letter to the Congress for inclusion in the Public Hearings scheduled.

My Letter to House Resources Committee Chairman Richard Pombo:

 

Opposition to H.R. 822, the Wild Sky Wilderness Act of 2003

 

July 16, 2004

Subject: Opposition to H.R. 822, the Wild Sky Wilderness Act of 2003

 

Chairman Pombo:

 

My concerns are not listed necessarily in order of personal importance;

rather, they are simply what comes to mind when I consider the far-reaching

implications -- one might even call them tentacles -- of H.R. 822. This

bill truly reaches into the pocketbook of every taxpaying American, every

consumer, every tourist, and extracts something, whether tangible or not.

Every concern I have relating to this bill bodes ill for it. It MUST, for

to support any part of it is to disenfranchise myself from all that I

cherish about my country.

 

Your 1996 book, coauthored with Joseph Farah, titled "This Land is Our

Land", details "how to end the war on private property." I'm sure you

cherish the lands that you and your family have owned for many generations

in and near Tracy, California.

 

Wherever there is federal lust for more and more and more land and resources

to remove from the tax rolls, further encumbering the already overburdened

American taxpayer -- and ever more often also seeking removal from the

public access -- you have my attention. These lands are lands that someone

cherishes. Often, these families have lived, like your own family, for

multiple generations on the same lands, working at the same honest work, in

a committed and long-term partnership with the lands and waters. Whether

that relationship -- granted, built upon trial and error, for that is the

way mankind learns how better to steward his Genesis-mandated job over all

the earth -- is based in farming, timber harvest, ranching, mineral

extraction, fishing, or other responsible use, it is something that many

Americans and their families have diligently invested blood, sweat and

tears equity in.

 

Many of these same families now find themselves at the merciless hands of

those professing to be 'environmentalists' or 'conservationists' -- when

the truth is, those using those terms care little about either the

environment or real conservation, which means not wasting.

 

It does not mean NOT USING AT ALL.

 

That is what "wilderness designation" is, Chairman Pombo.

 

It means NOT USING AT ALL: none of the resources.

 

The 'carrot' on the stick that is promised is cursory passive recreational

access, while the stick lies in wait to 'assist' those that have become,

through no fault of their own, inholders. One way or another, they are to

become "willing sellers". This is an ugly, dishonest way to treat American

property rights -- and you wrote a book about it, so few should know this

as well as you and Joseph Farah.

 

As one who has recreated in most of America's contiguous states, from

horseback riding to walking, and from nature photography to snowmobiling, I

have comments on H.R. 822 that reflect an aging baby boomer tourist's

interests. I cherish access to lands that my taxpayer dollars have paid for.

 

As one who has traveled most of America's contiguous states in a

twenty-seven year and 3.1 million mile safe driving career as a truck

driver, I have comments on H.R. 822 that relate to both America's economy

and to access issues. The area targeted by H.R. 822 contains roads --

because it is an area utilized by people. It is not as it was before

Christopher Columbus set his booted foot upon our shores on a day in 1492.

That in itself should raise a raft of Red Flags -- that anyone would pick,

out of thin air, after all the millennia and various 'settlement' by

various 'ethnicities' -- 'pre-European settlement' or 'pre-Columbian

settlement' as the magic date before which time all must be 'restored.'

Hogwash and balderdash, say I! I cherish and appreciate American grown and

mined products

and those that work so hard within my own country to see that such

renewable bounty is available to me and mine, and I believe with every

fiber of my being that using our own resources responsibly -- not becoming

a 'third world nation' by default, through the hidden horrors of global

'free trade' that is neither fair nor trade, but is in reality the

wholesale and wanton destruction of our Constitutional Republic and our

sovereignty -- is TRUE 'sustainability.' We used to call it being

responsible, being self-sufficient. It made us great. We need to remember

what made us great and stop apologizing for it. Let us use our own

resources, within our own sovereign borders, and that means NO MORE

WILDERNESS DESIGNATIONS: not ONE SQUARE INCH MORE, and over time, a LOT of

acres LESS of such areas. I don't tout developing all of America, but our

natural resources are OURS, to be used responsibly and intelligently, but

to be USED. They belong to no one else, despite the hoopla -- other than

whatever deals may have been agreed to without our public knowledge. Thank

God we have Marbury v. Madison (1803): All laws repugnant to the [uS]

Constitution are null and void. This includes all treaties and 'dark of

night', closed-door dirty deals to use our American resources -- including

our American human resources -- as collateral.

 

As a property rights researcher, I have comments on H.R. 822 that relate to

all the facets of responsible resource providing -- i.e., property rights

and freedom. You have just read them.

 

As a rural homeowner, I have comments on H.R. 822 that relate to the

increased and very real threat of wildfires and other emergency services

that are put directly in harm's way by such proposals for increased

"wilderness designations." There is nothing in such "wilderness

designations" that is of any benefit to "future generations" -- whatever

that means. Future generations of what? Of who? Certainly "future

generations" does not mean middle-class, hardworking Americans, who even

now are being charged double -- in both taxes AND in FEES to enter, park at

and use our own federal parks and other areas. This is criminal -- there

was a tea party held in Boston Harbor over such things, many years ago --

but that is a matter for another letter and another time.

 

As a taxpayer, I have comments on H.R. 822 that relate to the

ever-increasing burden -- much of it Constitutionally illegal -- on

American taxpayers, and the added burden inflicted on us with every acre

that is removed from the tax rolls. We need bear no more -- we should and

we MUST bear much less. The obesity mentioned among legislators has nothing

to do with physical poundage. There is a massive cancer of out-of-control

lust for power and money that will never be sated so long as there is

unlimited access to American taxpayers' pocketbooks. Terrible as it may

sound, the deals cut in D.C. have been the main contributors to each and

every one of my comments and concerns.

 

America is beautiful and America is The Beautiful, but what is being done

by using the stalking horse of "wilderness designation", like the hideous

and many-headed Medusa of the Endangered Species Act, which a member of

your committee will chair a meeting about in Klamath Falls, Oregon, in a

few short hours, is neither Constitutional nor American. It is criminal,

and should be handcuffed and incarcerated wherever bad legislation goes

when it is proven harmful to America and to Americans.

 

Thank you, Chairman Pombo. I will be watching this bill and the actions of

the House Resources Committee closely, knowing that you will have intense

lobbying by non-governmental organizations pushing you to run this bill

through.

 

As it is part of a true statesman's character to disallow that which is

wrong, I hope you will look to the Congressman from Colorado, Tom Tancredo,

and the standards he has set regarding sovereignty and borders and Illegal

Aliens, and take all that is good from his shining example, to apply to

these 'pieces of work' like H.R. 822. To have such courage and moral fiber

as he is to be -- like former Congresswoman from Idaho, Helen

Chenoweth-Hage -- a true statesman. We need more like this, Congressman

Pombo, on that I believe we can agree. You have shown promise in this

regard. Perhaps my letter to you will help nourish that spark and fan it

into a flame that the most determined "wilderness proponent" cannot

squelch. I pray so.

 

'Nuff said.

====================================================

 

Urgent Action Needed on Wild Sky Wilderness Proposal H.R. 822 - Please

Submit YOUR Testimony!

 

Thanking you in advance for taking the time to do this. No matter where you

live or what you do for a living, please take a few minutes and send an

email to

resources.committee@mail.house.gov or fax 202-225-5929 to Chairman Richard

Pombo at the House Resources Committee expressing your personal opposition

to the creation of ANY new wilderness designation, including -- but not

limited to -- the Wild Sky Wilderness Proposal, also known as House Bill

822. A gentleman in Washington State, Ed Husmann, asks that you provide him

with a copy of your letters so that he may hand-carry a hopefully HUGE

stack of them to Washington, D.C. for next Thursday's hearing. You can

email him your letter at edforforests@msn.com or fax it to him at

360-793-7870, but please know that by so doing, you give a great help to

not only him and other Washingtonians, but also to everyone that values the

ability to enjoy more about lands and waters than a CLOSED sign, which is

what H.R. 822 would do.

Why is it that all you right wing fucktards ramble about crap like "moral fiber" and "I pray". What a long-winded piece of galvanized tripe. Tell your "friend" to take a comp class.

 

Drama queens.

[Crux]

Oh.

 

I get it.

 

Wilderness areas are a crime against the Constitution, and proponents of wilderness designation should be "handcuffed and incarcerated" because they are proven harmful to America and Americans. We climbers should rise up and stop the imposition of this wicked "hideous and many headed Medusa" that stands against "the way mankind learns how to better steward his Genesis-mandated job over all the earth." We must allow "not ONE SQUARE INCH MORE" to be designated as Wilderness. Moreover, over time, we will do well to see to it that there are "a LOT of acres LESS of such areas."

 

As Soiled Boy says, we have seen the destruction of democracy in the Dosewallips valley (of all places). Is it not now time to stop the madness! Email you senators! Senator your emailers!

 

But please go on without me. I'm sorry. I'm just too fucking busy accessing my favorite areas in places like the Alpine Lakes and North Cascades to do what I know is right. I've always been that way.

 

BTW: SB, you don't mind if I be campin' in yer backyard on my way to the Dose, do ya? Just think of it as an access issue. We'll get along just fine.

all you right wing fucktards

 

funny, i was thinking the same thing about all you left wing fucktards

 

and did i read that correctly? e-homo accusing someone else of being a drama queen?

THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND

Words and music by Woody Guthrie

 

Chorus:

This land is your land, this land is my land

From California, to the New York Island

From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters

This land was made for you and me

 

As I was walking a ribbon of highway

I saw above me an endless skyway

I saw below me a golden valley

This land was made for you and me

 

Chorus

 

I've roamed and rambled and I've followed my footsteps

To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts

And all around me a voice was sounding

This land was made for you and me

 

Chorus

 

The sun comes shining as I was strolling

The wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling

The fog was lifting a voice come chanting

This land was made for you and me

 

Chorus

 

As I was walkin' I saw a sign there

And that sign said "No trespassing"

But on the other side, it didn't say nothing!

Now that side was made for you and me!

 

Chorus

 

In the squares of the city, in the shadow of the steeple

Near the relief office I see my people

And some are grumbling and some are wondering

If this land's still made for you and me.

 

Chorus (2x)

[Skeezix]

What a raft of crap. We're a deeply flawed species, and sailboi's logic is representative.

[E-rock]

Lars, you're never very sure of when you've been trolled, are you?
