Mr. Dune Speaks Out!

Source: Sandsports at Off-Road.com



   Well kids, here we go again! The letter below was intercepted from the Eco-Nazis at the Sierra Club as it was being sent out to their mentally deficient little minions. Seems they feel so comfortable with the "temporary" closure at Glamis they have turned their myopic, bloodshot eyes north and westward to the shores of the Pacific and the sands of Pismo...

Read on, be sure to have a puke sack handy:

HOW TO SAVE PISMO DUNES FROM ORVs

   Sierra Club's Santa Lucia Chapter and the San Luis Obispo Environmental Defense Center are working to put a stop to one of California's longest running and most environmentally destructive coastal tragedies: off road recreational vehicle (ORV) use of the Pismo Dunes.

   Currently, and for decades, over one million dune buggies and other off road recreational vehicles annually tear apart sensitive dune structures and destroy endangered species such as the snowy plover. The spectacle has to be seen to be believed. Four wheel drive cars racing right through Atascadero Creek, rendering useless a steelhead trout fish stream.

   The carnage goes on for miles along the beach and for thousands of acres of sand dunes inland. The Coastal Commission is expected to put a stop to the senseless destruction at its February 2001 meeting in San Luis Obispo.

   Activists are urged to mark your calendars now for the week of February 13-16, 2001 and we will let you know the specific day of the hearing. Hundreds of activists are needed to insure the Commission does the right thing.

   Fortunately activists can now see the destruction without having to go to Pismo. Film-maker Robin Chilton, Gordon Hensley of SLO-EDC and Tarren Collins of Sierra Club's Santa Lucia Chapter have created a video of the Pismo Dunes and have scheduled an activist event for January 18, 2001. The event will happen at the United Methodist Church, Wesley Building, 1515 Fredericks Street in San Luis Obispo at 7:30pm. Check it out.

   Next Coastal Commission Meetings: January 9-12, 2001 in Los Angeles and February 13-16, 2001 in San Luis Obispo.

   Happy Holiday and go to the beach,
   Mark Massara Sierra Club Coastal Program

   What's up here is the Eco-Nazi's know they will be screwed in the upcoming environmental policies of a Bush Whitehouse. Soon we will be drilling for oil in the Everglades and mining coal from the large intestines of Barbara Streisand and other liberal intelligencia elitists that have built their sprawling old growth redwood  castles of hypocrisy up and down the shores of California. They are making an all out blitz in the eleventh hour to get us tossed off of lands we have a right to! They just got their asses kicked a huge court battle in Utah, Bruce Babbit, King of Eco-Scum is about to be fired, the BLM, at least here in Nevada has turned a deaf ear to their furtive whinings. The climate for eco-madness is looking pretty unfavorable.

   OHVs have co-existed wonderfully  for decades with not only the sands of Pismo, the people and the economy of Arroyo Grande, but yes my mentally defective little Eco-Trolls, even the steelhead of Atascadero Creek have thrived.

   The Sierra Club's letter above is crap, lies and eco propaganda. Designed to misinform and inflame. There can be only one course of action! Show up at their meeting on the 18th, and show up at the Coastal Commission meetings in LA and San Luis Obispo! Be sure to make your opinions known, in a word (or two) SPEAK OUT!

   I could go on and on, but a long winded rant isn't needed here. We all know that there are no threatened issues or life forms at Pismo. The California coast will not suffer an ecological meltdown from a minuscule OHV area like Pismo's presence. And that this  campaign isn't about saving the environment, it's about the obliteration of our sport and our way of life by a small group of elitist fudge packers.

  Some good news:

   The Coastal Commission will be considering reopening the Eureka Dunes in Humboldt County!

The info on the Coastal Commission meetings is here:

Friday, Jan. 12th, Westin LAX, Los Angeles--California Coastal Commission to review REOPENING the Eureka Dunes!

Be there!

Info on the meetings regarding Pismo's possible closure to OHVs in February is not yet available. I will have it posted as soon as possible!

   Closing on a happier note;
   Ding dong the witch is dead!

   We at Off-Road.com would like to welcome George W. Bush to the Oval Office and the Presidency of these Great United States of America. You have a tough job ahead of you George, but we're behind you 100%!

   Just one word of advice Mr. President... Don't smoke the cigars, who knows where they've been. We'll have a fresh box of Cohibas on the way  to you ASAP!

All of you that can make the Pismo meetings, we need you, badly. Please show up in force, and SPEAK OUT!

Mr.Dune
