Dear Action Alert Subscribers,
****Disclaimer: this action / protest IS NOT being undertaken by USA-ALL it is a separate organization****
We though many of you would want to know about this. I got this a day or two ago. We called Richard and he is asking any and all who wish to come and support the protest is welcome. But only those who are elderly or disabled will be apart of the actual protest ride. Call Richard if you're interested in participating. And if you do attend please be polite, calm, and cool with the radical enviros that are sure to be there to try to stop the ride. The ride will only go down to the creek and back they will not travel the entire road and will not “damage” and resources. This section of the road has been bulldozed and has culverts in it. It is clearly a legal road. This is a premium RS 2477 ROW in Emery County, as soon as you cross the Emery Wayne County line the road is open and goes right to Factory Butte. There are active mining claims on this closed road and some state land. BLM has been notified and is very concerned over this and will likely be there. BLM illegally closed this road in the San Rafael Travel Plan. Emery County has this road listed on their general plan. SUWA parties and discuses their hate for us every fall (actually this weekend) at the mine site (yeah I know unbelievable) where this road is closed and the protest will occur. USA-ALL will have representation at this protest but we will not be participating in the actual ride.
Travel time from SLC is approximately 3 ½ hours (taking highway 6, I-70, Hwy 24, county road # 1012) for directions see the San Rafael Travel map. Other resources are the hart draw USGS quad, and Emery County’s Website. The general location is about 42 road miles south west of Temple Mountain which is about 7 miles north of Goblin Valley, Utah you may also access it from I-70 ranch exit 129 it is 44 miles south by graded road.

Subject: Press Release: Disabled Americans Ride Closed Roads
****PRESS RELEASE-------FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE****
AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACCESS ALLIANCE FREEDOM DAY RIDE
On October 14, 2006 at 1 pm, members of the Americans with Disabilities Access Alliance (ADAA) will ride past BLM barriers on the Muddy River Road in protest of BLM Policies discriminating against disabled Americans.
In the 2003 San Rafael Travel Management Plan, the BLM, pandering to radical environmental groups, illegally closed 468 miles of historic roads and trails.
“The main mission of the BLM these days is to close roads to people who travel on vehicles” says ADAA president Richard Beardall. “They don’t care that elderly and disabled people will be shut of these lands forever.”
According to Beardall: “The BLM’s only concern is pleasing the environmentalists. They don’t care about anything else including real threats to the ecosystem like the Tamarisk invasion. All they want to do is close roads to create new Wilderness”.
The San Rafael Swell is a spectacularly scenic region that was the focus of uranium boom of the 1950’s. As a result, the entire area was swarmed by prospectors and miners creating an elaborate road system. The BLM is now attempting to erase this legacy to appease the Wilderness Advocacy Groups. This process will sacrifice our most vulnerable people on the altar of radical environmentalism.
Beardall says: “We don’t like breaking the law, but sometimes civil disobedience is the only way to address injustice. Our African-American brothers made little progress before Rosa Parks refused to move to the back of the bus”.
ADAA invites Price Field Office Manager Roger Bankert and BLM law enforcement to attend, join in the ceremony, and issue citations so this grievance can be brought before the courts.
