Dear editor,
Thank you Cowboy State Daily. I look forward to reading your articles every morning and enjoying the sunrise/sunset pictures provided by your readers.
Many of these pictures include the public lands that Project Winchester is trying to defend and save.
When a Utah congressional representative proposed a bill for public land sales, I thought he was crazy.
I find it hard to believe the people of Utah, who love the outdoors as much as Wyoming people do, would support him.
I hope Utah voters show him the door. As I wrote to Harriet Hageman, public land is not for sale! Why would she support such a bill?
I think a better question to ask is, who stands to gain from the sale of our public lands?
Trying to smear and throw dispersions at Trevor and Project Winchester is just "Bad Form" and sounds like a page out of the democrat playbook. You can do better, Harriet.
Trevor Neilson did an excellent job putting into words exactly how I and all of my friends feel about selling off our public lands.
It doesn't matter which side of the aisle you are on, it's common sense.
A conservative estimate of over 4 million people from all over the world visit Wyoming every year to enjoy and use our public lands and national parks.
All of those visitors spend money and in some way support those of us who live in Wyoming.
One could say there are millions of people who agree with keeping public lands public.
If any politician, especially from Wyoming, wants to die on this hill, they will enjoy a swift political death.
"We the People" will make sure that happens. As Trevor said in his letter, we didn't pick this fight, but we stand with Trevor and Project Winchester.
Remember, it's not about me or you, it's about what we can give and share with future generations.
Respectfully,
Al McClelland, Riverton
