For those of you are following this legislation, you know it has been a most interesting ride. The bill was introduced by the fine Senator from Canyon County, Senator John McGee but it was stalled for a legitimate reason. The bill was appropriately amended. The bill is now on the move again this time with a letter from the Governor supporting it.
If this bill is to pass, it is up to you. I need your help to get it through the senate, then the house transportation committee and then the full house. But let's take one body at a time.
First the Senate:
Would you please contact your Senator and every senator you know and ask them to support S 1001. Your message doesn't have to be long, you can simply say, "Please support S 1001a. I sincerely believe that passage of this legislation will greatly reduce the Forest Service issues and concerns and better allow us to fight to keep public access available to Idaho residents and visitors to our state as well." Please give them your name and address. If you represent a club in the area, send a message for the club and tell them a little about your group. Whatever you say, be polite and respectful. This is an amazing group that is working hard for us and taking stands that requires great courage.
I have attached the letter that is going to every Senator on the issue.

This needs to be done by the middle of next week but if you are anything like me, it is best to do it immediately.
I have attached the names and email addresses of all senators: (I have not included the senators that are on the Transportation Committee because they have already been worked)
