National Forest - KEEP OUT
If you enjoy any outdoor activities in your National Forests your days are numbered. Bill Clinton is going to put a stop your recreation with a stroke of the pen. What will be effected? Mountain Biking, Horse Back Riding, ATV's, Motorcycles, Hunting, Fishing, etc.
How will he do this? By blocking your access by motorized vehicle to some 50 Million Acres of your own land. It's as simple as that.
Think this is more "Black Helicopter" conspiracy ranting? Look at your Forest Service WEB site:
Roadless InitiativeWhen you look at this WEB site use your head and take the time to look pass their simple sounding pronouncements of what they say they are up to. Look at the what they're bragging about in the "in the news" section. Note that this has nothing to do with partisan politics or the right/left battles.
This act by Bill Clinton completely bypasses the congress and the checks and balances against abuse of power which are the bases of our freedom. In Part One of this plan, there will be a prohibition on "road building" in National Forests. On the surface this seems like a small thing. But when you see them talk about maintaining the safety of existing roads know that they plan to close all "unmaintained" roads. By doing thing this you will no longer have vehicle access to some 380,000 thousand miles of your own roads.
In Part Two they finish the job by banning all "off road vehicles" from use in "roadless" areas.
Perhaps you consider yourself an environmentalist and support this. But consider; if you allow this to become law by royal decree, to pass unchallenged, the next time a non-environmentalist President gets into office he can use the same precedent to reverse the will of congress like Clinton by Royal Edict.
The sword of tyranny cuts both ways.
Maybe you're a mountain biker who thinks this just gets dirt bikers, etc. Don't fall for that "get the other guy" trap. Look at what the folks behind this are really after, the complete prohibition of human activity in our national forests.
So they play you against the dirt bike folks, or the hunters against the ATV guys - makes no difference; if those of us who use National Forests for legitimate purposes don't hang together and support each other's rights - we shall all hang separately.

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen. -- Samuel Adams, speech at the Philadelphia State House, August 1, 1776.
