In the latest issue of the Costco Connection, there's a poll about the protection of our wilderness lands. One of the most potent threats to the use of our public lands and natural resources by all of us (businesses, recreational vehicle users, campers, hikers, equestrians, etc) is the designation of land as "wilderness land." This designation, if illegally applied to land that is already developed and/or used in any way by the public or businesses (mining, gas & oil production, etc) will effectively put the land off limits to the existing use. Clearly, the dangers of out-of-control wilderness designation threaten our right to use the land for recreation.
The Costco Connection magazine is distributed to every Costco member through the mail or email. It's wide distribution makes it a great place to express your opinion and may make people think twice about supporting such measures in congress. Please take a few seconds to vote in the poll here. The question is "Are we doing enough to protect our national wilderness?" My answer is that the government is doing too much already and that these things should be left to the users of the land (like us). But since it's a yes or no question, I guess a simple yes is all that's available...
