“Draw
a boundary around a landscape, give it a national monument or park designation,
and slap a name on it, and you’ve reduced something indescribable and wondrous
to a brand, a slogan, a commodity to be marketed to the masses. Impose upon it
a bunch of rules, entry fees, campgrounds, and designated trails, and you take
away a freedom that is inherent to the place.”

“Casey
Snider, Bishop's former legislative director and a volunteer firefighter, said
status quo management of the forests will only lead to more catastrophic
wildfires.
"When
it comes to fire, you are either going to graze it, log it or burn it out on
public lands," Snider said. "The idea that everything is fine if we
just do nothing is completely, factually inaccurate."
Recent Letter Sent to a Constituent by Alliance for a
Better Utah:
Things are running
amuck in San Juan County.
San Juan County Clerk, John David Nielson, doctored election
documents to keep Navajo community leader and County Council candidate, Willie
Grayeyes, off November’s ballot. This is another incident in a long line of
either rampant incompetence or active voter suppression on the part of
elections officials in San Juan County to keep the “good ol’ boys” of San Juan
in power.
But Alliance for a Better Utah is fighting back.
We’re on the offensive, letting San Juan County voters know
Willie’s story and the illegal activities of John David Nielson with targeted
ads, but we need your help. We’re looking to raise $1,000 today to get ads
placed and the word out. Will you help us reach our goal with a donation of
$25, $50, $100 or whatever you can afford today?
For too long, underrepresented voices have been shut out of the
conversation. It’s time to push back. With your support, we will continue to
monitor the situation in San Juan County, call out officials for incompetent,
immoral, and illegal behavior, and, if necessary, take legal action to ensure
this doesn't happen again.
Your donations today will count toward our Political
Accountability Fund goal of raising $10,000 by the end of the month and show
the “good ol’ boys” of San Juan County and elsewhere that we’re fed up with
politics as usual. Please give today.
Sincerely,
Chase Thomas
