The problem is, the people in Washington don't care. They have an agenda that doesn't include us. This is nothing more than a land grab. Most of the places they are trying to shut down are rich in resources. Oil, natural gas, gold, silver, etc, etc, etc. The real reason for closing public land to the public is to protect and control the resources for themselves. Look at what's going on in Moab right now. Many of us have been involved with fighting this for many years only to be ignored or bashed as non-environmental hooligans. The AMA has been woefully inadequate in fighting for our rights. They are too busy fighting for the rights of Harley riders to not have to wear helmets. Writing them is about as usefull as writing Barbara Boxer or Feinstein. That is not true on the local district level. AMA District 37 has been very involved with fighting land closures as well as the people in other districts. But, the AMA as a parent organization is about as worthless as the dictators in Washington. They too have lost touch with the very people they represent. IMO, what has to be done is replace those in Washington that want to control every aspect of our lives with those that actually care about 'We the People'. In November we get a chance to make real change in this country. We had all better step up to the plate and MAKE THAT HAPPEN or finding a place to ride our dirtbikes will be the least of our worries.
