Forrests and Patriotic Quotes

I don't get it. I would have though more people and more passion re: sale of Mark Twain Forests.

Sample emails:
I'll try to make this quick as possible..... People aren't "getting it", the whole Forest thing, the school thing, the tax thing, the war thing..... they don't get it, they don't care! They want to sit on their couch and watch their sports and as long as they have that and something to eat, they just don't care about anything else! They only people that care about anything anymore are the people that the issue is affecting at that moment, not tomorrow, not yesterday....if it's bothering them right now. I'm literally sick by the responses you got this morning, I was really expecting better calls, but then again, I expect alot from people in general and they seem to keep letting me down. I guess life will go on and our Forests can just be sold, doesn't seem to be a big deal to the majority, so be it. Thanks for all you're doing!

Over the years that I have frequented our National Forests, I have met people from many different parts of the country. I have met hunters from ‘many’ other states, as well as backpackers, birders, canoers, kayakers, bikers, and just families enjoying our wonderful country. For those who don’t frequent our forest, how would they know how much it’s used? By the way, I would say that these ‘out of staters’ are bringing in a certain amount of revenue.

The jerk that wants to know about the benefits of the forest to everyone, even those that do not go to the forest...... he should look into how much money the government makes from permits to hunt, to ride your atv,dirtbikes! And there's not that much upkeep going on compared to how much money they are making on the permit fees! Plus the money that private business owners make from the people traveling to and from these sites.... he is a big lib that needs an education! Thanks so much, God bless you for putting this to the public!
