~~ Bear Essentials ~ June 4, 2017 ~~

“If only a small percentage of the dollars needed to create the Bears Ears Allotment were added to the local budgets for the local offices of the BLM and USFS that would provide adequate  ”boots” on the ground to protect the public lands encompassed within the boundaries of these agencies. . . The monument area is literally a magnificent garden, there is a saying that if you don’t continue to weed your garden then you soon find you have lost your garden. Please leave the area under a multiple use strategy so that the BLM and USFS, Term Grazing Permit holders, and others will still have the tools and management practices to maintain these natural resources. We again ask that you rescind this monument.”   Jimmie and Carol Forrest Monticello

. . ."America's energy and economic destiny should be up to the United States, not the United Nations. Today the President took bold and decisive action to pull the U.S. out of the poorly-negotiated Paris Accord that would kill American jobs and manufacturing while doing little to protect the environment.  

"We all agree that clean air and clean water are top priorities, but this deal was an example of another give-away to foreign interests and locks America into a permanent competitive disadvantage. America has the resources and expertise to lead the world in responsible energy development and technology. To not use our resources to our advantage is simply wrong. The world is safer when America is strong.” Secretary of the Interior, Ryan Zinke
