Re: CBD challenges BLM permit for Colorado NSS Convention
Posted: Jul 7, 2011 7:44 amAll cavers should be writing their US legislators to support the Government Savings Litigation Act. This act will limit groups like the CBD in the future if it is
passed. Do it now or there may not be any future caving. Below is a sample of the letter I wrote the US legislators from my state. You are welcome to use
it as a template for your own letter to your state's US legislators. Frankly I think the NSS should be sending letters and/or emails out to all of it's members
requesting they support this act. It amazes me how little effort has been put forward by the NSS to keep caves open (exlcuding the efforts by Peter Youngbaer).
Government Savings Litigation Act
Dear Senator XXXXXXX,
Please support the Government Savings Litigation Act to be introduced in Congress by Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyoming) and Wyoming Representative Cynthia Lummis.
Here is a link to an article describing the need for this legislation. This is a bill that will save billions of dollars for taxpayers and help businesses to remain in existence as well.

Thank goodness someone is stepping up to the plate with a common sense law that will save taxpayers and businesses money while preventing the kind of abuse that environmental groups have been practicing against the government and people of the United States of America.
Environmental groups are in essence specialty groups. Government is supposed to be of, by and for the people, not of, by and for specialty groups. Yet in the past 30 years, the opposite has occurred. Some environmental groups are abusing the Environmental Species Act (ESA) with a large volume of litigation designed to make money off the government. Some of these groups such as the Center for Biological Diversity, are primarily composed of lawyers and have very little to do with proven science.
Perhaps those environmental groups once served a useful purpose but today they have become a nuisance with the intent of draining the US treasury.
Please help America to recover from our economic downturn by passing the Government Savings Litigation Act. This act is not only about money going down the drain, it is about common sense and the future of this country’s businesses and freedoms.
