Stolen from the BRC: -------------------------------- WHAT YOU NEED TO DO: BRC'S THREE-STEP ACTION ITEM STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO CONTACT YOUR LAWMAKERS: NOTE: Please be polite and, if possible, make your comments as personal as you can. STEP 1: Click on the following link to go to BRC's Rapid Response Center. http://www.sharetrails.org/rapid_response/ and in the "Contact Lawmakers" box type your zip code and click GO. Click on your representative's name and then click on the Contact tab to locate their phone number. Follow the same steps for each senator. STEP 2: When you call, use the talking points below to help make your point. Be brief and polite, but make sure the staff person understands you OPPOSE new National Monuments. STEP 3: Take just a minute to forward this alert to friends and family and ask them to do the same. TALKING POINTS A recently obtained internal document from the Department of the Interior (DOI) shows the Obama Administration is considering using the Antiquities Act to designate National Monuments on 13 million acres of public and private lands in 11 western states. I am asking you to go on record as opposing any unilateral monument designations by the Administration. Also, I want you to sponsor or co-sponsor legislation that requires Congressional review of Antiquities Act proclamations. This process should also allow for State and local government as well as public input before any designation takes place. Given the economic crisis our nation is in today, this is not a good use of my taxes. Thank you for allowing me to express my concern. -------------------------------- Go fast. Take Chances. Mike S.
