***RALLY @ THE CAPITOL BUILDING!!!!***

Hey All, The rally is a go. Please support this and encourage others to join. This will affect all recreational water use! Now is the time to act! Forward this off to everyone you know. Time is short and we all need to act!Also, Please keep in mind that the committee hearing is going to be at the last minute notice. It could be as early as 8am Tuesday February 17. WE NEED TO PACK THAT MEETING! Standing room only and fill that room to over flow capacity!
We have attached a flier for you to download in your efforts to help spread the word. Paste it, stick it, plaster it, pin it, tape it everywhere, make this public! (Universities, hotels, workplace, forums, websites, etc)

Keep fighting,
Bryan

WHY: ALL RECREATIONAL WATER RIGHTS ARE AT RISK!
House Bill 187
Use of Public Waters
CREATES CRIMINAL CONSEQUENCES FOR THE LEGAL ACTIVITIES YOU ENJOY ON PUBLIC WATERS
TAKES AWAY WATERS YOU'VE ALWAYS HAD ACCESS TO
ALLOWS PRIVATE LANDOWNERS TO KEEP YOU OUT OF PUBLIC PROPERTY
SEVERELY DAMAGES THE ECONOMY OF UTAH'S OUTDOOR INDUSTRY
PUTS PRIVATE INTERESTS OVER THE INTERESTS OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC
WASTES DOLLARS AND EFFORTS ALREADY SPENT ON IMPROVING FISHERIES AND HABITAT
CREATES CONFUSING AND CONFLICTING RULES THAT COULD RESULT IN YOU GETTING CITED FOR PARTICIPATING IN A LEGAL ACTIVITY
CREATES A COMMITTEE THAT CAN FURTHER REMOVE WATERS FROM PUBLIC ACCESS

Users of this resource have not had the opportunity to contribute or exchange ideas on this issue. Any proposed legislation should have the backing of an intensive planning committee, within the parameters outlined by the Utah Supreme Court's ruling, with representation of all interested parties.

BOTTOM LINE -->This issue is too important--to landowners and sportsmen alike--to rush it through the session.
