We need your help!!
I just received this email (below) from the Wyoming Outdoor Council. The Wyoming Legislature began its budget session last Monday. Because it is a budget session, I was not expecting federal land transfer legislation to come up this session. I was wrong. Two transfer related bills are being considered for introduction. Apparently the initial vote on these bills will be soon...perhaps as soon as tomorrow. We need you to contact ALL legislators in Wyoming and express strong opposition to these bills. You can bet they are going to get an ear full from me. Please find their contact information here: http://legisweb.state.wy.us/LSOWEB/LegInfo.aspx

We need your help as soon as possible to stop attempted land grab efforts in Wyoming. Now is the time to stop the land grab and make your voice heard!
Two bills at the 2016 Wyoming State Legislature aim to seize and privatize our national forests and other public lands.
HB 142 - Transfer of federal lands proposes to seize our public lands in Wyoming and sets up a process regarding sale of these lands.
HB 126 - Public land access clearly sets Wyoming on a path toward taking over and privatizing public lands within the state's borders.
We need you to voice your support for our treasured public lands by sending a message to your legislative representative by 10 a.m. tomorrow. Contact your legislators and tell them that you strongly oppose House Bills 126 and 142. E-mail them directly or call (307) 777-7852 and leave them a message.
Let your legislators know that you care deeply about our national forests and public lands in Wyoming, that they are an essential part of Wyoming's quality of life, and that you want them to remain public. To read more about this issue, head over to our blog or read our latest Frontline.
Thank you for standing tall for our public lands and our hunting, fishing, and outdoor recreation heritage!
