I'm thinking of going to the Farm Bureau, the Grange, the Regional Council of Rural Counties, the Mountain County Water Resource Association, all the legitimate Chambers of Commerce in the Sierran/Cascade Region and organizing an umbrella organization called SIERRA REPUBLIC (complete with website) and looking first into litigation, then an initiative in each of the 22 counties, along with all the cities, towns and special districts to begin the process of Statehood for "Sierra Republic." (if he signs this damn thing)

Can anyone think of other representative, or membership organizations or groups, even service clubs? (excluding the Sierra Flub of course) It'll be a hell of an up-hill challenge with Fienstein and Boxer as our Senators, but what the hell... Why not???

While everyone swoons across the nation over a speech that will ring hollower than an empty boxcar if he returns from a Republican Convention to enslave the private property of the Sierra, then it will be well worth it to force him to "shove it!"

It won't ever be enough to the GANG-GREEN groups if we just restore the "status quo" by overturning all the CONservacancies, that's just a "check" move they can counter. We need a "checkmate" to stop 'em cold!!!

I'll help even though I don't live in any of the targeted counties. You just let me know what I can do.

Try the state Cattleman's association, and there's got to be a state forestry association that would get involved.

Try some of the off-roaders, they have a strong commitment to private property rights and may help.

Crowley off road and the Blue Ribbon coalition might help.

I would urge you to quickly contact these groups and get them to burry the governor with phone calls. Failing that, I don't blame you. I wish there were other words of comfort I could give you, but from the top of this nation to the bottom, our leaders couldn't give a fig what you and I think.

I represent 8 of the counties for the Grange. You just let me know what you want. Course the Executive Committee has released our lobbyist and the Legislative committee that was supposed to replace the Legislative Director isn't doing anything or is non existant. But I'm behind you!

I'll help SW! I'm in Los Angeles... but what the heck!
(Just add the Santa Monica Mountains in there, lol).

Here's some links to those you mentioned, and a few nationwide links that might help.
