Congressman Greg Walden (R-OR-2nd district) introduced a bill, (H.R.4272) that forbids the forest service to close any road or portion of a road in any national forest in the west without the consent of the counties that the national forest is in.
This means that they must reopen all the roads in your national forest and then submit to the counties there what roads they want to close and why, the decision to close or not close those roads will then be up to the counties not the forest service.
For those of you in the midwest and east, most of the national forests of the west have bewteen 50-90% gated,locked or blocked roads. If you live in an area that has locked up grasslands or desert, there is no reason why this bill can't be changed to include your area as well. It simply needs to be amended to include blm land as well.
For this bill to pass you must contact your senator, congressman/woman and have them sign on to H.R.4272. This is your chance to regain one of your American rights that has been taken from you and your loved ones.
