All I can say is WOW!

Chaffetz must've gotten some serious pressure to do this.  :twocents:

Just for reference, HR 621 would have SOLD to the highest bidder approximately 3.3 million acres of federal public lands in the west.

However, this is just one victory in a storm of other bills at the state and federal levels.

 :yeah: There are a lot of powerful (rich & influential) voices in favor of this that most of us will never hear. Their campaign contributions will be tough for lawmakers to forgo in spite of the noise made by outdoorsmen and women.

Wow, despite disagreeing: I'm impressed. Congrats to those who successfully lobbied their legislators. It works!

I definitely wrote some letters on this one. But I agree with some of you; this is just the beginning.

In my local paper today, they referenced a political science professor who thinks this proposal was basically a test balloon.  In other words, there'll be more attempts coming down the pike, in one form or another.  Stay vigilant!

I was reading on hunttalk this morning. The folks from Utah really can't stand this guy it seems. They're hoping to get rid of him as their rep soon.
Comments about someone holding his dog while he changed his clothes into the camo outfit he has on as they raced to the woods for some publicity shots.

Some people sure are cynical. How can that be?
