Hope.
sgr.
Don't give up hope. I have been involved with the land issues for many years. Starting back in the late 60's, early 70's with the closing of the B to V race, the desert tortise, etc, etc, etc.
I am finally, after all of those years, starting to see some hope. We have a vehicle for fighting this now that we never had before. The computer. We now have a network to keep each other informed.
Also, a way to inform others of what is going on and light a fire under those that don't have a clue.
We also have many others on our side now that we never had before. Ranchers, miners, rock hounds, many others that were never on our side are now being shut out themselves. By joining forces with these groups, we can change what is going on. We have already made a difference.
Attend the meetings, write letters to your representives, e-mail your friends and co-workers when you see somthing that is wrong. It only takes a few of us to light a fire under the rest of us.
We have already done it here on DRN. Last year at the BLM meeting in Barstow, we had a great turnout and we made a difference.
Don't give up, be vigilent.
There are three types of people on this earth. The type that makes things happen. The type that watches things happen. And the type that looks around and says, "What happened?"
We all have to be the one's that make things happen.
