House Subcommittee Holds Hearing on Recreation Permits

TPAC wants to commend the House Natural Resources Subcommittee on Public Lands and Environmental Regulation for holding an oversight hearing today on “Impediments to Public Recreation on Public Lands.” 

 

As many of you know, electing federal legislators to enact regulatory reform as it pertains to recreational use of public lands was one of our main goals in the 2012 election.  It most certainly will be an objective for TPAC in the 2014 midterm elections.

 

Subcommittee Chairman, Rob Bishop (CD1-UT), stated at the hearing, “Increased fees, bureaucracy, restrictions, regulation, and processing time are driving up the costs of running private business on public lands making profitable operation difficult, putting many out of business, and threatening the continuation of the services that make visitor access possible and affordable for families.”

 

“Unless there is a change in direction, a generation of Americans could lose the opportunity to participate in outdoor adventure and thousands of local jobs could be lost,” Bishop continued.

TPAC encourages you to take time and read the public testimony of recreation businesses that face a growing mountain of red-tape and onerous regulations that impact their livelihood and local economies.

 

It is important to remember that these pro-regulatory reform hearings and subsequent legislation will not be possible if we do not retain a pro-trail majority in the House and work to elect an access majority in the Senate in 2014.

TPAC Takes on Media Bias in Week Long Social Media Event

Just a Click (LIKE) to Save Our Trails and it's FREE

 

Dear Trail Voter,   The mainstream media is working overtime to bias the news to discourage pro-trail voters in blue and battleground states in the hope that you will give up and stay home. The Trail PAC is going to counter that with the 1st ever pro-trail social media week. This national counter offensive is called OPERATION SOARING EAGLE.   Some congressional races are won or lost by less than 50 votes or just one vote per precinct. With the election just a few weeks away, it is important for trail voters to inform their Facebook friends about our targeted races and encourage them to go to the polls on November 6 and VOTE!   TPAC knows many people are busy trying to make a living and don't have time to follow political campaigns. That is why it is important for YOU to LIKE the pro-trail candidates below so your social networks throughout the country will know about these candidates and the issues.     TPAC is not asking for any donations today. Our national counterattack is FREE. All we ask of you is to go to the following races and LIKE them. Also, feel free to share your support of the Trail PAC and these candidates with your social networks. Just those few extra votes WILL make a difference in this historic election.     ACTION ITEM: Go to all of the candidate's websites and LIKE them.  This will have a huge impact and best of all it's FREE!   Here is TPAC's list of targeted key races as of October 2, 2012   U.S. Senate   Tommy Thompson (WI-Senate) http://www.tommyforwisconsin.com/    Dean Heller (NV - Senate) http://deanheller.com/     Denny Rehberg (MT-Senate) http://dennyrehberg.com/     George Allen (VA- Senate) http://www.georgeallen.com/     Jeff Flake (AZ - Senate) http://www.jeffflake.com/     Heather Wilson (NM-Senate) http://heatherwilson.com/     Rick Berg (ND-Senate) http://www.bergfornorthdakota.com/view/       U.S. House of Representatives   John Koster (WA CD-1) http://www.kosterforcongress.com/   Koster's Facebook page link since it was harder to find on website:  http://www.facebook.com/pages/Koster-for-Congress/246070079439      Dan Lungren (CA CD-7) http://www.danlungren.com/      Chip Cravaack (MN CD-8) http://chipcravaack.com/      Ricky Gill (CA CD-9) http://www.rickygill.com/     Scott Tipton (CO-CD-3) http://www.votetipton.com/   Thanks in advance for taking a few minutes to help save our trails via the election process.   Feel free to check back into these campaigns throughout the week to see how many of your friends are getting engaged.   Thanks also for your support of TPAC.   Don Amador, Founder The Trail PAC www.thetrailpac.com
