Come on now Weeze... just when we have you acting like a law abiding citizen and able to communicate facts and truths without the emotions running wild, you go off the deep end again.... You really need to act responsibly.. If MN has issues, you need to take direct action.. and do so in a professional and adult manner. One of the biggest things that the legislators and local officials notice is when ATV enthusiasts show up and are actually quite civil in their remarks.. and the environmental groups get up and spew fire and brimstone and total lies. They know the difference, and they know that they can work with the enthusiasts.. and we are seeing positive results because of it. It took more that a few days to get into this position.. and it is going to take a lot more meetings and negoitations to get the issues fixed. Keep the faith dude... things are changing...

It is your home state... You have the most to gain... and lose. You need to play an active part, but do it with a professional and respectful voice and attitude. Don't expect to win every battle. Expect to lose a few, and compromise on many more... it all adds up...

 

i know DB i go off the deep end sometimes but it is very very frustrating. and well my 1 year plan is to actually move to south dakota thinking of moving to rapid city. very nice town i love that part of SD. and i read an interesting article in the paper can't find the article i will look harder tonight. it was basically about those license plates you can buy the environmental ones i dunno if anyone has them or just minnesota. but they got loons and stuff on them and you pay an extra 30 dollars or more a year to have them and they go towards keeping the environment more i guess you could say natural. well the dnr matches whatever they raise so since 1997 they have raised together a grand total of 26 million dollars in minnesota. well they use that money to buy up a bunch of land and deem it off limits to all motorized vehicles and logging and everything but you can still hunt the land but can't even break a twig or nothing. well like this guy said the more land they buy up the less we have for riding. i don't dissagree with keeping our outdoors natural but i feel that one lil fourwheeler trail isn't gonna bother anything and yes keep it all natural but give us the chance to enjoy it as well. i appologize DB and everyone else in here for getting upset but issues like these do tend to get me worked up and i guess it is better to get worked up then to show no emotion at all.

 

So why not lobby your state Representatives for a special "ATV" owner's plate that puts the $30 extra dollars into an ATV trail building fund? After all, all we are asking for is equal time right?

 

good point DB i will have to see if i can find out what her e-mail address is.
