People who refer to themselves in the third person are probably into some pretty weird stuff, like nymphing in January.People are saying that it takes one to know one

It is reported Mikle Lee stated in the last day or so he definitely plans to try to reinsert the public land sales into the bill in the Senate. No shocker in that.

It blows my mind that anyone thought this administration would not go after public lands.
This will be one of the most important fights we face if we expect to keep access and overall available public lands actually 'public'.
I have sent emails and called both Daines and Sheehy, and received the usual canned responses about how they are "fighting for Montanans". I am officially sick and tired of the rich getting richer and the power grab dictating every move by current elected officials. It has become almost a "gee, wouldn't it be nice" thought that our kids get to enjoy the outdoors, access, etc. but in reality it feels more like a 50/50 coin toss.

If you live in a state with Republican Senators, or even better, if you live in one of the states highlighted in this article, your voice may be pretty important here..

I may be biased as he's more or less from my neighborhood, but I'm really enjoying Patrick Berry's writing on recent public land issues. Stressing the bipartisan support for public lands (from voters) is absolutely the right way to go:
"Let’s be clear: public lands are NOT a partisan issue. They are an American one, rooted in the very principles of democracy, where it’s all equal ground—on trailheads and mountain peaks, in trout streams and grasslands, and in the campfires that invite us to share in the backcountry experience.
And yet, too many of our elected leaders ignore the overwhelming passion for public lands voiced by the vast majority of Americans, hoping no one is watching as they cave to private interests. Whether it’s Utah’s lawsuit to undermine the very foundation of federal land management, the erosion of bedrock conservation policy, or this latest maneuver in the budget bill, the message is clear: To them, public lands are nothing more than assets on a balance sheet, not opportunities to be cherished."
