Dear Members of Congress & Elected Officials: We the undersigned are opposed to the National Park Service taking over management of the Giant Sequoia Monument. We object to the unnecessary regulations the Park Service would impose, as well as the entry fees & camping fees they would charge & unnecessary increased tax-costs they would incur. We are in favor of continued management of the Monument by the National Forest Service, whose efforts we find have protected the resource while encouraging family values & personal freedoms. We are in favor of continued Monument management under the Land of Many Uses Forest Service mandate. We encourage the Forest Service to continue to allow all types of responsible recreation in the Monument including: Off Road Vehicles, Mountain Bikes, Rock Climbing, Camping, Hunting & Fishing. We are in favor of Forest Service efforts to thin the overgrown forest, reducing catastrophic fire hazard, in order to protect the health of the forest & the safety of the public.
