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.

The Forest Service maintains our access to the mountain and we must remind our representatives that this land belongs to the public. Call your local congressperson today to demand they keep the current management in place. Mention specifically that you oppose the new fees the Park Service will bring to our trails.

March 31, 2008

The momentum behind our push to keep Forest Service management is real. Email your representative today to demand they protect our current access and recreation rights.

Keep the park service out. They just want to raise fees and close off trails that we have used for years.

The forest service knows how to handle the thinning. If the park service gets ahold of it they will just let it burn down like everything else.

Leave it alone. My family has been camping here forever and we dont want to pay extra just to go outside.

STOP TRYING TO LOCK US OUT OF PUBLIC LANDS. forest service does a better job managing the brush anyway. we need to keep hunting and off roading there.
