The U.S. House of Representatives’ Committee on Natural Resources voted Thursday to send a bill that would overturn the Park Service’s new off-road vehicle plan for the Cape Hatteras National Seashore to the House floor.

    Call your Senator. If it passes the house then it has to make it through the Senate in an election year! Not an easy task. Call Senators, get your stories to them.

    These days there is no such thing as a “non partisan” issue. What one party wants, the other opposes.

    Good point Allan2. Interesting part is that this is a bipartisan bill with bipartisan support so I guess nobody will like it. Or, maybe they’ll all like it so let’s hope.

    I just saw both sides of the political spectrum join togather to oppose National Security Leaks from the White House. Hopefully the same for this bill.
