The Petroglyph: “Senator Hatch and Congressman Bishop should take this opportunity to pass a bill in congress that will make Utah exempt from the Antiquities Act just like Wyoming. That would prevent this from ever happening again.... Now is the time for our Utah Senator's and Congressman to support President Trumps actions and to protect Utah from the billion dollar a year environmental industry. Now that would be something to brag about.... Everyone should contact Hatch and Bishop and tell them to do Contact Senator Hatch:
v Express your appreciation and concerns:   Write or Call the President:

 “If the divisive and painful battles over monuments are to be ameliorated, the Antiquities Act must be reformed. But, there is something Utah can do in the meantime–given the self-inflicted paralysis plaguing our moribund Congress. Utah can exempt itself from the Antiquities Act, and future monument designations. And yes, it’s been done before; by Wyoming and Alaska.” Majorie Haun
Western states and their citizens are not equal. Contrary to the intent of the framers of the Constitution, they are awed “into an undue obedience” to the federal government.”

Roosevelt’s 1906 Antiquities Act has been manipulated and misused by a long chain of presidents. It is time to change executive overreach, and implement legislation whereby such designations are required to have congressional approval.  Our duly elected officials must be included in those important decisions, which directly affect individual states and rural America.
                        “Impoverished western counties dominated by federally claimed land
                                        are exporting children and importing poverty.”
75.2% of Utah’s land is public. Only 24.8% is privately owned.
