URGENT: New Johnson Valley Petition

This is a repost of an e-mail I got regarding an important land use situation in Johnson Valley, CA.

If you have already signed the new petition to Save Johnson Valey, Thank you for your support!

As many of you know, Johnson Valley OHV is being seriously considered by the US Marine Corps as their new training area. The public scoping meetings and studies have been completed. The Public Comment period ends on January 31st, 2009.

Most options that were offered took all or a portion of Johnson Valley, one was to do nothing at all (which is unlikely).

Based upon Brad Mitzelfelts letter to Dianne Feinstiens office, we have drafted a new more specific petition that outlines an option that would de-designate a portion of wilderness area that is acceptable to the Marines. The wilderness area in question is not considered quality wilderness area, AND has already been used for military training in the past.

We need the public’s support for the Marines to even CONSIDER this option.

It is imperative that you read and sign, including your email and mailing addresses. Upon the end of the comment period, this petition will be submitted initially to the Marines, and then we will forward the signatures and addresses to each local legislator.

PLEASE FORWARD THIS LINK TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW WITH AN INTEREST IN SAVING OUR PUBLIC LANDS. WE ONLY HAVE UNTIL JANUARY 31ST TO GET THIS SIGNED!
