Posting in the main forum since land use get less play. (Sorry if this is a repeat, but I didn't see anything about this anywhere here)

Summer turns to mountain biking for this guy, but I recently saw some scary stuff that could affect the sledding season also. Senator Testor is currently working on drafting a bill for some new wilderness in Montana. I'm not opposed to protecting land, but I am opposed to wilderness as it will further limit the the ever shrinking riding (sledding, biking, whatever your pleasure) oppurtunities we currently have.

Here's a link to the Montana Mountain bike Alliance site where I recently read this news, it just never ends lately:

HHHHHeeeeelllllllooooooooo!!!!! BBBuuueeellller!!!

A little more noise about Tester's Wilderness bill. There better be a hell of a lot of letter writing going on soon, people. This one could happen quite easily if a lot of noise is not made very quickly.

I mailed my letter to his D.C. office. Sorry guys, there isn't any super easy sign a letter, mass email spam thingy to send. A good ol' typed or even hand written letter carries much more weight than email with Senators and Congressmen/women. Thanks to anyone who takes the time to write a letter.

Glad to see something already posted on here. Thanks sledneckskier
Just got a SAWS email today about it.
Tester is a jackhole and we need to get him outta there.
Just a simple email saying please don't designate more wilderness and how it will affect you...simple to the point and short. I think those letters get read before the 2 pagers do.
No name calling or threats either, those automatically go in the FOR wilderness pile.

I live over by where Tester is from. Not many people have much good to say about him. I'll be sending off an email.
