Homes and the lives that we love behind forever?

[samiaseo222]

There are approximately 1,800 claims. Many are listed as just a number and not a name. I'm not sure whether all of the people directly involved have been notified or not. We need to be one large voice and protest as loudly as we can. Even if you are not one of the 1800, don't think that this will not affect you if it's not reversed.

Can you imagine what could be next? Just think! Already, the Forest Service (United States) has closed roads and trails and will not let us have access to most of our public lands in Idaho County. We can't phone number list haul wood or harvest timber that will eventually die and burn. We can no longer drive our motorized vehicles or graze our cattle on public lands.

We are being locked out! In the name of fish and the water that has to be protected to save them, we are being forced out of our livelihoods because there are no jobs left. Rural people are not in the scheme of things anymore. We are being forced to relocate into the cities because we aren't allowed to make a living here anymore. The timber and agricultural industries are struggling to stay alive. If we are locked out of the forests and lose our jobs and lose our private water rights, too, will we just give up.
