PETITION TO HAVE OUR ELECTED STATE REPRESENTATIVES; MESA AND GARFIELD COUNTY COMMISSIONERS; AND SHERIFFS SUBMIT A FORMAL WRITTEN REQUEST TO GOVERNOR HICKENLOOPER ASKING HIM NOT TO SIGN/APPROVE THE GRAND JUNCTION BLM RMP. THE RMP WILL CLOSE UP TO 2000 MILES (60%) OF OUR CURRENT PUBLIC LAND MOTORIZED ROUTES AND HAVE A DEVASTATING EFFECT ON OUR LOCAL ECONOMY, FAMILY HERITAGE AND LEGAL RIGHTS. MOTORIZED RECREATION AND HUNTING/FISHING BRINGS IN OVER $25O MILLION PER YEAR TO MESA AND GARFIELD COUNTIES. THE VAST MAJORITY OF THESE ROUTES MEET THE DEFINITION OF A PUBLIC HIGHWAY BASED ON STATE LAW (CRS 43-2-201,

CRS 29-20-104, CRS 43-1-202) AND FEDERAL LAW (RS-2477).

I, Petitioner (signed below), agree with the above statements.
