I will be there.
I will be getting together with Brad M. and following along.

Do we get a "get out of jail free card" for going backwards around gravity hill and down I street and 6th east?
It will make one hell of a photo op if we want to be on the cover of people magazine in front of the Utah state capitol building anyway.

LMAO...Great photo for sure!!

That would make a great VIDEO!
All of us cutting across lawns & running from the cops in our RZRs.

Do we have a headcount? If you are planning on attending add the name to the list.

It might be nice to stick together to represent for the forum if possible. I have attached a e-mail I received over the weekend as well.

BLUERIBBON COALITION ACTION ALERT!

Attend “TAKE BACK UTAH RALLY” -- Help Stop The Wilderness Takeover

Attention All OHV Clubs in Utah (Idaho, New Mexico, Nevada, Wyoming and Colorado too!)

This is Ric Foster from BRC’s Public Lands Department and If you’re an OHV club in Utah I just want to find out if any of you or your members is going to the big event, the "Take Back Utah Rally" in Salt Lake on Saturday, August 28th. (See Alert http://www.sharetrails.org/alerts/?alert=1217)

If so, I would like to ask you to take your BlueRibbon Coalition Banner to display at the event along with your club’s banner. If you need one send me an email with your club name and mailing address to send it to and I will send one to you. But, because time is short, you will need to let me know by Monday the 23rd.
My contact information is listed below.

Take Back Utah is working hard to make this a successful event. (They are trying to raise $1000 dollars to pull off a live TV buy for next week. So, anything you can do to help would be greatly appreciated.)

If you can help, go to www.takebackutah.org and click the Donations link.

For those clubs in Idaho, New Mexico, Nevada, Wyoming, and Colorado that can attend this event, our fellow OHVers in Utah can use all the support they can muster to help keep the greenies from locking it all away.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Ric Foster
Public Lands Department Manager

OK YOU ALL

We need everyone to show up. So far it is looking like we might have a better turn out this year which we need so our elected officials will take us seriously but also we might make national news.

If you can't make the Parade we still need you at the Rally.

Check out the website, it has updated info and a map you can download: http://www.takebackutah.org

Also, check out the TV show At Your Leisure on the web. This last weekend they had a great story about "Take Back Utah" and yours truly is a TV Star... 8)

:?: :?: Who is in? It would be nice to at least be there for the rally people. The parade is optional but we need bodys at the capitol grounds to show support for our rights :shock:
Can I get an idea who is in? There might even be a surprise gift for showing up.
I have also thought about American fork or Bountiful ride afterwards if we can.

Fasttrax · 2010-08-26 06:50:25

Please! 8)

Last night was our last "official" meeting and also an inventory for odds and ends like orange safety vests, caution tape, volunteer shirts AND 5 EXTREMELY LARGE BOXES OF RAFFLE PRIZES that will be given away at the Rally.

Rocky Mtn ATV kicked in Helmets, Goggles, Boots, Gift Certificates, ETC, ETC

That has to be enough incentive to show up for - let alone keeping our dirt roads and public lands open

See ya all there 8)

first off let me say that I am "for" this rally and what it stands for. i am looking for a better understanding.

i do have some questions that i could not find answers to looking into this. how does the number of people that show up make a difference? meaning if 4,000 vs 5,000 show up? are any of the people against this showing up? meaning those that actually shut trails down? could the money being used to make this rally happen be used in a better way to keep the trails from shutting down? how did the rally last year effect what trails were or were not shut down this past year in utah? what about "others" that use the land are they assisting in "the cause"? meaning farmers, oil rigs, gas, mines, etc?

thanks

I don’t think it is as much a “Numbers” issue, as it is a principle issue. The message needs to be that WE are the government! Those who are crafting the next wave of closures think we are not paying attention, but they are wrong; the problem is that there aren’t enough people doing their part to prove it.

We all express outrage when our liberties are one by one taken away, but who is willing to actually take a stand with those who are trying to protect them? I say those who are not willing to go and take a stand have no right to complain when the next land closure happens. Weather this rally actually makes the difference or not, YOU will know that you did something to try and stop it.

I really do understand your skepticism, but it’s kind of like saying “My vote doesn’t count for much, so I’ll just stay home”. I say it is all about the one, not the masses. It is all about you. If YOU want change, than YOU need to be there!
If for no other reason than to know that you didn’t leave it to others to make the difference.

Great turn out today. So far 5 from the forum are here. Watch the national news, I will be surprised if you don't see the coverage. The parade continues still about 45 minutes after we arrived and still Rollin.

mbroyles · 2010-08-29 00:06:20

Sounds like a good turn out. Got any pics of the event?
