Alert, Obama Great Outdoors Meeting In Seattle, Thursday, July 1st.
Alert * Alert -- Alert
Private property, multiple-use, recreation and rural community
advocates must attend.
This is a big deal. You do not want to miss out or find out later
that you lost rights because you failed to go to this listening
session.
-----There is a concept in law called *laches* or *sleeping on
your rights.* If you fail to participate in a planning process, you
may be prevented from asserting your rights in court later.
These listening sessions are the beginning of the Obama Great
Outdoors Initiative that will involve massive new land use controls
nationwide. Only the environmental groups and Congress are getting
notified ahead of time to the best of our knowledge.
This listening session is about the plan that is part of the battle
between the House Natural Resources Committee and the White House and
Interior Departments over the release of secret documents describing
the full extent of the Obama Great Outdoors Initiative.
We have included below the background information from the House
Natural Resources Committee effort to get the Obama Administration to
give up the secret documents about the whole Obama Great Outdoors
Initiative.
-----It is critical that the Seattle listening session be attended by
ranchers, miners, forestry advocates, recreation advocates, private
property rights allies, rural community advocates and anyone
concerned about the spread of big government and the Obama land use
control plans.
Below we have listed the information so you can attend the Seattle
listening session along with background information. This will be the
only listening session in the Northwest so you need to go.
You do not have to sign up in advance although that is good if you
can. The information to sign up by e-mail and fax are listed below.
Please accept our apology for the late notice but the Obama
Administration has so far been doing everything it can to keep these
listening sessions secret until the last minute except for the
environmental groups. So your attendance is critical.
Three listening sessions were recently held in Montana with limited
advance announcement distribution. Senator Max Baucus (D-MT) was
involved but did little or nothing to make sure his constituents
learned about the listening sessions. The meetings were held hundreds
of miles from the people most directly affected. This whole plan
appears to be a bait and switch effort to develop land use controls
across America. It is vital that you attend the Seattle meeting.
The three listening sessions in Montana had virtually no notice to
private property and multiple-use groups. The result was that many
people who support grazing, mining, logging, recreation, private
property and rural communities were not there. That must not happen
again. Montana residents should call Senator Baucus at (202) 224-3121 (202) 224-3121
to let his staff know how they feel about being left out.
Washington residents can call Senators Patty Murray (D-WA) and Maria
Cantwell (D-WA) at the same (202) 224-3121 (202) 224-3121 to express their concern
that these listening sessions be handled fairly and openly and that
all affected groups get notified. You can call any Senator at that
same number.
It is vital that your side of the issue be represented. This is about
the Obama America*s Great Outdoors Initiative, Treasured Landscapes
and National Monument programs. Millions of acres of private land
will be purchased under threat of eminent domain if this program goes
forward. Red tape and strangling regulations will in your future if
you do not stand up and oppose the Obama America*s Great Outdoors
Initiative now. The time to fight back is now, not later. You must
hit them early. You cannot miss this meeting.
-----Here is a recent Interior Department release:
Invitations to the America*s Great Outdoors public listening and
learning session for Washington were sent to stakeholder groups today
(read environmental groups). As you can see from the sample invitation
below, the event will be held on Thursday, July 1, 2010 in Seattle,
Washington.
On April 16, the President established the America*s Great Outdoors
Initiative to promote and support innovative community-level efforts
to conserve outdoor spaces and reconnect Americans to the outdoors.
The Initiative is led by Secretaries Salazar and Vilsack, CEQ Chair
Sutley, and EPA Administrator Jackson, who recently sent a letter to
each Member and Senator to inform Congress about the Initiative.
Senior Administration officials are visiting sites and participating
in listening and learning sessions around the country, in communities
where diverse coalitions are working together in innovative ways to
protect and restore outdoor spaces.
These sessions are intended to engage the full range of interested
groups, including tribal leaders, farmers and ranchers, sportsmen,
community park groups, foresters, business people, educators, state
and local governments and recreation and conservation groups. Special
attention is being placed on bringing young Americans into the
conversation.

Please feel free to contact me or my colleague Nate Hundt with
questions.

Join the Conversation about America's Great Outdoors
Americans have a proud tradition of working together - from the
ground-up - to conserve farmland and open space for future
generations, restore rivers and streams, protect areas for hiking and
biking, preserve beaches and coastlines, conserve wildlife habitat for
fishing and hunting, and restore the cultural and historic sites that
tell America's story. In fact, community-driven efforts to conserve
America's land, water, and wildlife are a major reason why we are
blessed with the parks, refuges, forests, and open spaces that we
enjoy today.
Starting with the White House Conference on the Great Outdoors held
on April 16, President Obama launched a national dialogue about
conservation in America. As part of this dialogue, we are bringing
together ranchers, farmers and forest landowners, sportsmen and
women, state and local government leaders, tribal leaders,
public-lands experts, conservationists, youth leaders, business
representatives, and others to learn about some of the smart,
creative ways communities are conserving outdoor spaces.
