[RC] Right To Ride - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Howard Bramhall howard9732@xxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== Just thought I'd share this with the rest of the class. Kinda cool to get a response even though I doubt if he sat in front of his computer and wrote this to me personally. Man, I feel like Jerry Fruth (trails are important, damn it). Get involved, even if it's only sending email to your congressman (how hard is that?). Next year, I'm sending it to my congressmen up in Tennessee. I'll title my letter: Dear Representative of all us Hillbillies who Rida Horse Down in the Hollers: cya, Howard From : <Bill@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent : Wednesday, December 7, 2005 9:23 AM To : howard9732@xxxxxxx Subject : RE: Your response from Senator Bill Nelson Please do not reply to this e-mail. If you need to send another message to Senator Nelson, please use the form on his Web site: http://billnelson.senate.gov/contact/index.cfm#email Dear Mr. Bramhall: Thank you for contacting me regarding your thoughts on the use of pack and saddle stock animals on public lands. In 1872, Congress established America's first national park. Since then, the National Park System has grown to include 385 sites and more than 83 million acres of land with nearly 300 million visitors annually. The State of Florida has three national parks and 28 wildlife refuges. On April 15, 2005, Senator Crapo introduced S. 781, the Right-to-Ride Livestock on Federal Lands Act of 2005. This bill would direct the Secretary of Interior to manage National Park System land in a manner that preserves and facilitates the continued use and access of pack and saddle stock animals on land where there is a historical tradition of using such animals. It is pending before the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. I am not a member of this committee, but will keep your thoughts in mind should this come before the full Senate. I appreciate your time. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any other concerns. P.S. From time to time, I compile electronic news briefs highlighting key issues and hot topics of particular importance to Floridians.
