Wilderness designation closes land to motorized use.
Please enter your information below to show your support for recreational access to the Boulder-White Clouds region.

I, the undersigned citizen, applaud and support the stance of Idaho governor C.L. "Butch" Otter in his opposition to S3194, the Central Idaho Economic Development and Recreation Act (CIEDRA).
I also call on the Idaho Congressional Delegation to support governor Otter's opposition to S3194 (CIEDRA).

SIGNATORIES:

Christopher J. Robin
Said: It is called PublicLand for a reason. Make it available for use by all citizens.

Jason Fowler

Brian Herman
Said: I'm in favor of proper management of the resources by involvement of the local populace and state officials. There is too much control being exercised on our lands by outsiders and others who spend little time there.

Said: Please support Idaho's citizens rights to use our public state lands! The feds are illegally trying to take our State lands! Please support us in our fight!

It's unconstitutional for the feds to try & designate state lands as "wilderness areas"!

Remember the feds are the ones who forced us to accept the grizzles & their friends the wolves....That is just one example of the federal wisdom!!

Stand up & be counted....or we will get rid of you & your constituents!!

Said: Please stop the wilderness designations. Idaho already has more wilderness than the other lower 48 states. We the people need to have motorized access to these beautiful places, so that we can enjoy them.

Janssen Tiegs
Said: This is PUBLIC land! I want to continue to responsibly enjoy this land and be able to show it to my future children.

Tracy Johnston
Said: My family has enjoyed the trails in Idaho responsibly for 30+ years, and are members of Full Throttle Fellowship dirtbiking club, encouraging other riders and families to ride responsibly and enjoy the great outdoors of Idaho while building strong relationships, families and economic opportunities through the OHV community.

Michael Damaso
Said: It does not help IDAHO or the people therein.
We are in the midst of a huge recession/depression, and spending millions of dollars of tax payer money is ridiculous.
Wilderness is the worst designation that can be applied to any land. Wilderness does not allow any management of the land. It will allow wild fires and disease to destroy what they are trying to protect, because of the lack of care.
Lastly, I believe the state is more than capable of managing lands for the best possible results for the people of Idaho and all American citizens.

Troy Ellis

Dan Wines

Christian Dahlstrom
Said: Wilderness designation creates management problems without solving any specific problems. Rather, it is being used as a means to an end by anti-motorized extremists. The Boulder-White Clouds Region is already adequately protected, there is no need to create additional Wilderness designation.

scott amos
Said: I am sick and tired of jerk-off senators and representatives making wilderness to immortalize themselves. It does not help IDAHO or the people therein.

We are in the midst of a huge recession/depression, and spending millions of dollars of tax payer money is rediculous.

Further, the Wilderness Act is an unconstitutional piece of legislative garbage. The federal government does not, and CANNOT legally own land inside the states, except for tracts up to 10 square miles, for building forts and other necessary structures.

I support Idaho law HCR058 which will oppose federal management of our lands inside the state of Idaho and EVICT the US Dept. of Interior, BLM and USFS.

Lastly, I believe the state is more than capable of managing lands for the best possible gains to the people of Idaho, to include construction of state parks.

Kip Klingler

Scott
Said: These areas have been enjoyed for years by off road enthusiasts. We are avid about trail maintenance and land conservation. Please allow us and our future generations to enjoy access to this area.

Al Porter
Said: No more wilderness! There are other ways to protect land like this without the extreme measure of wilderness. In fact, BWC is pretty darn well protected now.

James Lesniewski
Said: Idaho has too much wilderness as it is and with recent Travel Management Plan changes with the USFS, even more access to areas providing access for fishing and firewood cutting are being "unlawfully" cut-off by USFS officials.
The majority of USFS Rangers are NOT adhering to the Code of Federal Regulations governing revisions or adoption of their respective Travel Management Plans.
The Boulder White Cloud area does not need additional protection. Designating it as a wilderness will just cutoff more access to alpine areas and its existing trails will soon become impassable with fallen trees and overgrown vegetation.
We have more than enough wilderness already, please do not take anymore land access away from us and our children. Accessible forest areas are already becoming too populated.
Thank You

Said: Why is it that so few control so many? What ever happed to democracy? Or terms like The Majority Rules? And how is it that people who have never been west of the mississippi try to control what we can and cant do. If Washinton DC want to lock up our back yards from us lets send them some Grizzlys and Wolves for they back yards. Fair is Fair. Weve got your back Butch!

Dee Holland

Rodney Hawkins
Said: I have hiked to the top of Castle peak. I have stood at the edge of Lonesome lake. Places you now can only get to by horse or foot. I do not want to lose one more inch of motorized access in the Boulder/Whiteclouds and do not support CIEDRA. It is a "recreation area" as already designated and should stay that way. As a unique opportunity for everyone to enjoy!

DEAN WATERS
Said: PLEASE - NO MORE WILDERNESS

Darr Moon
Said: CIEDRA is another attempt to take the valuable timber, metals and grazing rights from Idahoans by outside interests. This is not an Economic Development or Recreation Bill it is a Wilderness Bill and it is a foot in the door to take all Idaho forest lands. Beware! We who live in Custer County will loose our livelyhoods and traditional way of life. See more at wwww.ccteapartypatriots.com

Every year my friends and I take a trip up there to ride bikes. We by gas, we buy food, and we pay to stay in the hotels there. we spend a lot money when we are there. And most of all we enjoy the beauty and the use of the land and we do it in a very repectful manor. So don't take that away!!!! Please!!!!

Tim Martin
Said: Lets see if I have this right. The gov't says that there has been a 1422% increase in ATV use in the past two decades, therefore they need to close more trails. Hmmm, in most instances when demand for something goes up the most common reaction is to increase the supply. If more people want to use trails it seems to me you would want more trails not fewer. But then common sense never has been a quality possessed by the gov't.

George R Archibald

Said: We do not need more wilderness that people do not use. The extremist want it closed down but they don't want to share it with anyone. They don't like seeing each other while they are there. Why is it that the only way to "save the land" is to lock everyone out of it. When most people want to use it in muliple ways. Most of us don't own horses or can not spend weeks walking in and carrying everything on our backs. I've been into several wilderness and other than guides who use it as there own private hunting areas without paying for it hardly anyone goes there. Forest Seveice is taking the easy way out and they don't have to work if they close it off.

Greg Walker

Vernal Forbes
Said: I have been a recreational advocate of the White Clouds, even prior to Frank Church. I have ridden my trail bike upon designated open routes in the White Cloud (SNRA) many times - a right that I have honored and treasured. At 67 years of age, my future access opportunity will only be on a trail bike. Please DO NOT BLOCK me from riding in my beloved White Clouds (Little Boulder & Big Boulder loop)!! The environmentalists already have the VAST Majority of the region to themselves.

Todd Hartley
Said: I have ridden the area many times and the impact to the land is minimal, the trails through the area are well established and constitute no erosion or damage. Ruducing or eliminating trails such as Grand Prize will eliminate looping opportunities and therefore cause double the use on the other trails such as Germania Creek and others. More people on fewer trails causes conflicts and more erosion of the trail system, causing more maintanance to be done. Do not support S3194 in any form. I do not need more wilderness to enjoy the area. The average person will not walk more than five miles to even see wilderness!!!

Dan Salvesen
Said: Back in the late 1960's and early 1970's my Dad took my Brother and I into the White Cloud Area on Motorcycles and he was an avid outdoor enviromentally sound motorcycle enthusiast, who taught us about the trails, and using sound judgement when riding on the trails. He told us back then that someday this will all be closed because of the Extreme Radical Government officials (Today these are kinder more gentle words than I would have called them). He was right, because they (being the Government) have taken so many rights away from the Public from the Public lands that are supposed to be for the public to enjoy. Education is the Key word: As long as the Public is educated and the criminals prosecuted there should be no reason to close any area. Motorcycles/4 wheelers/Hikers/Horse riders/Hunters/anyone who enjoys the outdoors, we all need to learn how to share and educate ourselves on land use, instead of closing it down.

Chris Horgan
Said: The motorized trails this Wilderness Bill proposes to close are the last of the best for motorized recreation. Why shouldn't people who enjoy riding trail bikes be able to keep these few trails? Please leave these trails open to all and stop closing more public lands to the majority of the public.

Motorized recreation brings in a lot of money to Idaho. That income will be lost if trails are closed to motorized recreation. Closing trails is contrary to the stated purpose of Economic Redevelopment.

Don't be fooled, it is more Government and less opportunity for Idaho.

Samuel Stone
Said: I have lived, worked and played in Idaho for more than 24 years now. What I can say is we have many beautiful and aesthetically natural features. I have hiked camped and hunted the Frank Church, but even that I've barely touched perhaps an 1/8 of it's wonder, mostly due to it's in inaccessibility, and now we have outside interests wishing to close even more land of which there is no need. I have ridden all through the Pahsimeroi mountains and valleys of the lost river valley range, there is really no large destructive footprint I've encountered cause by OHV vehicles. I as a long term resident do not see any reason for this. I as many are good stewards to the environment, because I want my children's, children to see what I've seen and to enjoy it. If by locking out the land to the common Lay person only the locals will suffer not to mention the local communities that relay on the tourism. Those whom are so intent on this self righteous agenda will be the only ones to reap rewads for this action something underlying to wilderness scheme (hidden agenda).

I say NO!

John Kopp
Said: This bill is an example of environmentalist extremism and its growing stranglehold on our nation! We have lost jobs and industry, been prevented from drilling oil within our own boarders, and have lost many of our basic liberties to the nebulous concept of "protecting the environment" and to the collectivists who advance their own power through that hollow argument. I say to hell with them! Americans have awakened to the lies of the global warming crowd and are not interested in cap and trade or further sacrificing our liberty and money to advance the power of the left. Green is just the new red and all Americans should study who is behind the agenda and what their goals really are, which have nothing to do with "protecting the environment" and everything to do with gathering and holding power over us; the people.

The lands identified in this bill were originally put under national control to guarantee the people's access to them. Now, government in an arbitrary and capricious manner proposes to break that promise of access and virtually deny our ability to utilize that land for recreation (which is what restricting motor access does). All for "saving the environment".

Every four wheeler I know stays on the trail and respects the land. I don't think I have ever seen a huge problem with folks getting off the trails. Rules limiting off road travel to the established trails are ok. Penalties for messing up the land wantonly are ok. Confiscation of our land and blanket denial of the people's access is not ok and stealing our freedom (especially where no compelling justification exists) is unacceptable.

Please join me in fighting this bill by supporting our politicians who have taken a stand against it and by letting those who do support it know that we deeply resent the theft of our money, or liberty and now our basic access to the land that we love dearly in the name of "protecting the environment".

Gerald Evans
Said: I oppose Ciedra. There are already too many Wilderness areas in Idaho that lock us out from recreating in OUR PUBLIC LANDS

Steve Deffe\'
Said: As a mountain biker, we have been thrown under the bus wheels with CIEDRA. We get in and out of the White Clouds and surrounding area very quickly, rarely spending a night out in the proposed wilderness area. We leave no trace and are of low impact to the land. We have been riding these areas for over 20 years. With the bicycles shut out, and the exception of hunters in the fall, only the day hikes will be used, causing the type of foot damage you see on the ground out of 4th of July trail head, very braided, wide and heavily overused. The dog waste problem and related smell, from the trailhead to the first three lakes this summer was overwhelming! By concentrating our use with the motorized users, the impacts will be greatly noticed by the public. Yet another reason to shut down those trails later.

Jeffrey Roth
Said: This area is already protected adequately. The bill is not in the interest of residents of Idaho or the US and will not improve the preservation of the land over it's current designation. It will harm the economy and quality of life of the area. Idaho already has more than enough "Wilderness" designated land. I moved here because of the access to this land. Without it I will begin my transition out of Idaho.

Mark Reed
Said: It's fine now and generates revenue. Don't do something that will cost us more and cut revenue.

bradley isner
Said: this must not pass

Scot Edwards
Said: Typical federal bureaucrats. Create a huge bill dealing with multiple conflicting issues and call it a success! Why is it that recreational users, the population segment that most uses areas like the Boulder/White Clouds, never get equal representation on bills like this? Could it be because we don’t provide the side benefits of money and power to the politicians that support such legislation?

Check the Idaho Polls, not the pocketbooks of those trying to pass this legislation, Idahoans don’t want more wilderness.

Idaho has enough wilderness already, more than any other State. What is the benefit, TO IDAHO, of limiting recreational use? NONE

The last thing we need is for the federal government to have more power and control over lands in the State of Idaho.

Leave this kind of “Green Legislation” where it belongs and make Washington D.C. a wilderness area instead. An unfettered wolf population already exists there and would fit the wilderness parameters nicely!

Jeff M Haines
Said: To many trails in Idaho that are on federal land are being closed, there is no more logging or mining to speak of anymore so the trails are the resourse!!!! the trails and recreation need to be protected now! No More Wilderness, it does not generate any revenue and costs the taxpayer's millions when it catches fire from being sick with bugs.

Gerald Randolph

Bruce Scott
Said: Idaho already has more wilderness/non-motorized designated land than any other state except Alaska. We don't need more, we need to maintain multiple use and retain motorized travel in as much of the remaining public [people's collective land] lands to give the greatest number of Americans the greatest amount of access to their own land. We the people.

You can't go on forever taking a million or so acres, every few years or less, permanantly out of any and all production. They are not making any more of it to slam into economic wasteland (wilderness) every few years.

Mike Butterfield

Terry Liebel
Said: This area has been managed very well by the Sawtooth National Recreation Area has been well managed as a multiple use area for many years. It is already protected from mining, logging, commercial deveopment etc. The only thing passing this bill would do is to lock out most of the current users who have enjoyed years of access.

I am no longer able to backpack due to back surgery and two knee surgeries. I can still enjoy this area via use of my trail cycle. If this bill passes I will no longer be able to access by favorite place in the entire world.

Paul DesFosses
Said: No more worthless wilderness. No more wolves.

Jason Dovel
Said: I think anyone who supports this bill has been bought off by the corrupt wildlife conservancy or lobbyists.

Said: As a disabled person, I can only enjoy Idaho's wilderness from the seat of at atv. I also stay on trails and try to be a good steward of the land. Will closing off an area from motorized vehicles not violate the spirit, if not the letter of the law regarding the American with Disabilities Act? It certainly will close off areas to those of us not strong enough to hike the area.
The Federal Government is rather arrogant in their attempted "takeover" of Idaho Lands. Please leave this area alone!

Kevin Thomas

Nate Davidson
Said: I support management of public land instead of closed/restricted land. Public support will not agree to close land off because managing these remote areas are too difficult. If managing the land is too difficult and cost prohibitive, it must not be blocked off. Please make responsible decisions that are fair and flexible to future changes. Please recognize new sports and evolving users of our public lands and please designate areas for multiple uses and support expanded public access instead of limiting it.

Grant Saunders

David Jennings
Said: Being born and raised in this great state. I'm absolutely fed up with people that have never lived, or even stepped foot in our gorgeous mountains, trying to tell us where we can and can't go. I was raised in the hills and I'd be damned if I won't continue to take my children to the places that my father took me, and his father took him.

Clifford Smart

Aircraft have the least impact of any users, and estabolished motorized trail systems are a good and useful wsy to enjoy the beauty of our idaho lands.

(anonymous)
Said: As a Disabled American Veteran who has difficulty walking almost any distance, and other disabled people with mobility handicaps, this type of legislation effectively locks us out of many outdoor recreational areas. I am an award winning wildlife artist and photographer, whose ability to access most areas has depended on the use of an atv/snowmobile(seasonally) to carry my equipment and myself. Adding yet another so called "wilderness" designation continues the onslaught of access limitations not only on us with physical limitations, but also to many others, except for those who consider these areas their own private parks. There is room and consideration for everyone, not just the few elitist to whom their own schemes seem to be all that matters.In the past people with mobility disabilities have been ignored. Stop this unnecessary discrimination. We have more than enough wilderness areas!

Jim Appel

Greg Davis
Said: As an avid snowmobiler I see wilderness as the land of no use, and see no reason for more of it. I feel snowmobiles leave no tracks or any visible sign that they were there when the snow melts. I also beleive that motorized recreation gives older folks a chance to get out and enjoy all that the Idaho outdoors has to offer, and that they would not be able to do so if they had to walk or ski.

Bradley Winn

You can not even take a camera into the Frank Church without an act of Congress. As a forth generation Idahoan, I do not believe that Simpson's views regarding the Boulder White Clouds reflect the majority view of the citizenry of this state.

Ron Saville

Dan Nursall
Said: No more wilderness, we have enough. Although I'm pretty pissed at the abuses of the ATV crowd I've hunted the White Clouds and there is very little access to begin with. Shutting it down is just another enviro wacko land grab. They can shove it. Time to stop the enviro agenda dead in it's tracks. No more wilderness! We have plenty as it is. It's just a breeding ground for wolves anyways. Another "compromise" that cost us dearly.

Willa Renken
Said: It seems that when ever the Federal Government doesn't want to effectively manage our lands they turn it into a drive by on a highway with no access. Since when does some pencil pusher environmentalist in Washington DC have the right to take away our Public lands. Hence the word Public which should indicate that the land belongs to the people not the government. Let's start turning more of the states back East into wilderness if it is necessary to have such legislation and leave Idaho alone!!!
