Hello Everyone,<\/p>\n
Since the Annual Meeting Sen. Bartlett has firmed up her resolve in favor of the rule as has Lt. Gov. Racine. They need the contacts to keep coming so that they don’t weaken their resolve due to pressure from the Vt. Natural Resources Council, Conservation Law Foundation, and Center for Biological Diversity. I believe the information below gives you what you need.

Through the help of a VASA member and our own efforts, VASA leadership has determined that Democratic leaders of the Legislature are likely to make an effort to nullify the Agency of Natural Resources ATV rule when Legislature begins January 5. VASA needs to do everything in our power to convince Democratic leaders to drop the effort to nullify the rule, and give the Agency of Natural Resources Rule a chance to work.<\/p>\n
We need everyone to make phone calls or send e-mails to the following legislative leaders. Your choice. Three of the four of these legislative leaders are also Democratic candidates for Governor. This is IMPORTANT!<\/strong> If only a few people make calls or send e-mails, it makes VASA look weak. It is IMPORTANT that we get a full effort from everyone and every club possible so that we don’t fail at this critical juncture. We ask each club member to report back on calls or e-mails they have completed and any responses they get.<\/p>\n Here’s who you need to call or e-mail: 802-828-2226 Speaker of the House Shap Smith<\/strong> 802-828-2245 President Pro Tem of the Senate <\/strong> 802-828-3806 Sen. Susan Bartlett<\/strong> 802-888-5591 Sen. Doug Racine<\/strong> 802-434-2013 Talking Points:<\/strong><\/p>\n If you can only get 4 of the 5 Talking Points in, they get the message. If you want to add more, go ahead. Be respectful, but firm about there being no need to take legislative time with this when we can prove it one way or the other on the ground with minimal impact to the 468 square miles of state land.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hello Everyone, Since the Annual Meeting Sen.
