1. Write
a Letter to President Trump clearly stating your support for overturning the
monument designation and why. Deliver to Kara Laws Illuminated Moments (just
south of post office -mail slot in door) by Jan 18. Our goal is 300 letters. Out of towners,
e-mail to savebearsears@gmail.com
2. This is Critical! Take County Survey regarding land resources. Must be done before Jan. 25.
http://sanjuancountyplan.org/ Send this information to other San Juan
County friends and family who haven’t participated. We must rally the troops and be active
citizens in this effort to protect San Juan County lands. All of Utah is
responding, and our voices must show strong.
4. Read
Gail Johnson’s Flushed repost from Range Magazine (on my blog) This shows
how agriculture has been harmed in other countries by “government reform.”
5. These
two articles from Range Magazine are also very good. Please read: Tales from the Wasteland: ….and Monumental Megabucks
It is important that we help educate all those helping in this effort. Some people speak out with no real knowledge. An informed citizenry is our best weapon and there is plenty of truthful ammunition to use. Keep reading!
Bearing Good News:
1.
President
Trump open to Bears Ears Roll Back?
Thanks to our congressmen, especially Mike Lee, the door has been opened
introducing this option. Lee argued that “what can be done through unilateral executive
action can also be undone the same way.” Read more:

---------------------------------------------------
And now for some
humor, which we all need once-in-awhile, when the muck of lies gets deep. A cowboy named Bud was overseeing his
herd in a remote mountainous pasture in Montana when suddenly a brand-new 2016 BMW advanced toward
him out of a cloud of dust. The driver,
a young man in a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes, RayBan sunglasses and YSL tie, leaned out the window and asked the
cowboy, "If I tell you exactly how
many cows and calves you have in your herd, will you give me a calf?"
Bud looks at the man, who obviously is a yuppie, then
looks at his peacefully grazing herd and calmly answers, "Sure, why
not?"
The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell notebook computer, connects it to his
Apple i phone, and surfs to a NASA page
on the Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite to get an exact fix on his location which he then feeds to another
NASA satellite that scans the area in an
ultra-high-resolution photo.
The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe
Photoshop and exports it to an
image processing facility in Hamburg, Germany. Within seconds, he receives an email on his Apple iPad
that the image has been processed and the data stored. He then accesses an
MS-SQL database through an ODBC connected Excel spreadsheet with email on his Galaxy S5 and, after a few
minutes, receives a response.
Finally, he prints out a full-color,150-page report on
his hi-tech, miniaturized HP LaserJet printer, turns to the cowboy and says, "You have exactly 1,586
cows and
calves."
"That's right. Well, I guess you can take one of
my calves," says
Bud.
He watches the young man select one of the animals and
looks on with amusement as the young man stuffs it into the trunk of his
car.
Then Bud says to the young man, "Hey, if I can tell you exactly what your business is,
will you give me back my calf?"
The young man thinks about it for a second and then says, "Okay, why not?"
"You're from the Environmental Protection Agency", says Bud.
"Wow! That's correct," says the yuppie, “but
how did you guess that?"
"No guessing required." answered the cowboy.
"You showed up here even though nobody called you; you want to get paid
for an answer I already knew, to a question I never asked. You used millions of
dollars worth of equipment trying to show me how much smarter than me you are;
and you don't know sh*t about how working people
make a living - or about cows, for that matter. This
is a herd of sheep.”
“Now give me back my
dog."
AND
THAT, FOLKS, IS PART OF THE PROBLEM.. Thanks Brent and Susan Flavel
