The headlines speak for themselves. Whether blocking the construction of a new hospital, or eliminating millions of acres of land from public use, the anti-land-use lobby is working hard every day. This should be a major concern for anyone whose business relies on the Great Outdoors. As the availability of land diminishes, so does the demand for off-road vehicles and recreation. This directly affects campers, RVers, bikers, ATV enthusiasts, boaters, sportsmen and anyone else who enjoys nature.

There is no doubt that our industry is the real endangered species. Unless we promote sane land-use public policy, we will see our land literally taken away from us. We cannot wait for someone else to act. That someone is us.

We have been waging this fight for years, and the action program is a fierce new weapon. Your participation will benefit the industry you serve and will come back to you in the form of land-use friendly legislation and court decisions. This is good for your customers and good for you.
