I received the following email this morning:

Dear Mr. Williams:

Thank you for contacting me to express your support for H.R. 1925, the America's Red Rock Wilderness Act. As an original cosponsor of this legislation, I am pleased to know we share the same view

I strongly believe that we must take steps today to preserve our public lands for future generations to enjoy. As you know, H.R. 1925 would protect over nine million acres of public lands in Utah from environmental threats such as mining, drilling, logging, and grazing. The legislation is pending action in the House Natural Resources Committee and you can count on me to continue to do all I can for its passage and enactment.
   From clean air and water to the protection our public lands and wildlife, I have spent my career in Congress fighting for the strongest possible environmental protections. To learn more about my work in Congress or sign up for periodic e-mail updates, please visit www.waxman.house.gov and http://energycommerce.house.gov.

Again, thank you for taking the time to contact me and please continue to be in touch on all matters of concern.

           With kind regards, I am

Sincerely,


                                                                 HENRY A. WAXMAN

                                                                 Member of Congress

THE PROBLEM IS I DO NOT SUPPORT THIS BILL!

So I responded with the following:

Mr. Waxman,

You are confused, I do not support H.R. 1925, and I ask you to not support it either. Designating public land Wilderness and restricting it's use is making it no longer Public Land. Vote against this or lose my support. As an original CoSponsor of this type of legislation I hold you responsible for stopping it. It is not your right to close public land to off road use, especially outside of your own state. This is my country also, and I disagree with this legislation.

AND WOULD YOU BELIEVE THAT THE EMAIL BOUNCED BACK 3 TIMES! So not only did he not understand my first letter when I told him to vote against this, his email then did not allow me to respond. And this is what we get from Public Representatives? Ugh, I'm about ready to drive the Fun Buggy across america and park it on the steps of Congress to convey my point. Shut down our public lands and we"ll come wheeling on your doorstep.

3. I will be the tailgunner!!! My 42" Pitbulls will definitely leave some rubber on the steps of Congress as I light them up with my 3" Glasspacks!!!

Mr. Waxman:
This is the exact opposite of what we need to do to keep our lands for future generations. Closing the land will only make the "shady" parts of our society want to go in even more and tear it up. If you keep the land accessible to everyone, thus the term "PUBLIC LANDS", people like us will make sure it is there for our kids and their kids to use. We are the responsible wheelers that are out there picking up trash, giving water to stranded bikers, maintaining trails, and instructing people in the proper offroading methods!!! Closing the "public lands" is NOT the answer!!
Respectfully,
Matt Klouzek

Dear Troy:

Thank you for bringing your concerns to my attention. I appreciate the time you took to contact my office and welcome the opportunity to respond.

Congressman Maurice Hinchey introduced H.R. 1919, America's Red Rock Wilderness Act of 2007, in the 110th Congress. This legislation designates certain lands in Utah as components of the National Wilderness Preservation System. Because this bill was not considered before the 110th Congress adjourned in December 2008, the bill will need to be reintroduced for consideration in the 111th Congress. Should that happen, I will be sure to keep your comments in mind.

Your support for the preservation of these lands and our environment is important so future generations may enjoy them. Like you, I am committed to protecting America's lands for future generations. Our public lands are a precious national treasure that we cannot afford to squander because of shortsighted thinking. I believe we must limit wherever possible the negative affects of industrial progress on our environment. Every American wishes to enjoy the glorious beauty of nature and the benefits of healthy ecosystems.

Throughout my tenure in public service, I have always kept an open door and an open dialogue with my constituents. As the 111th Congress addresses the many challenges facing our nation, I hope you will continue to share your thoughts and views with me. Accordingly, I encourage you to visit my website at http://brown-waite.house.gov to email me and find useful information about our 5th Congressional District.

It is my honor and privilege to serve the people of Florida's 5th Congressional District and my offices and staff are here to provide you with any assistance you may need.

Sincerely,

Ginny Brown-Waite
Member of Congress

Did you see 1919 HR instead of 1925 HR. Anyone have a direct link to the entire 1925 H R I'm wondering what kind of piggybacks there are.
