“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

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
