Ultra-liberal New York Congressman Maurice Hinchey has been trying to grab public lands in Utah for more than a decade.  That's how long he has been pushing for federal legislation to lock away public lands in our state from the multiple use Utahns have enjoyed for decades.

If he succeeds in this Utah land grab, he will cost our state tens of millions of dollars in lost revenue that would accrue from royalty payments made by energy companies that help harvest Utah's abundant oil, gas and coal resources.  What's more, these lands would be off-limits to many recreational uses, and access for people in wheelchairs would be limited if it's available at all.

If you oppose Maurice Hinchey's land grab, add your name to the citizen petition below.  We will deliver this petition to the Congressman's office (and distribute it to news media throughout his district) when it is completed.
 

Defend Utah Lands!

Take 60 seconds and tell Congress and the federal Bureau of Land Management to keep public lands in Utah open to the public.  Tell them not to let extremist groups lock away our lands forever.

Take action here.
