who has stated they support snowmobiliers and land access for us?
I think it is sad when people put more importance on snowmobile riding than any other topic when choosing a Presidential candidate..... I would hope energy/foreign/health care policy would be much more important than where you can ride your sled.

I think it is pretty simple for normal thinking Americans to make a short list of the 5 or 10 most important issues to them that the President has some control over. Once you have your list of issues, if you can not decide whether the conservatives or the liberals support your issues better, it might be wise to sit at home on election day. Uneducated voters is what is one of our biggest problems.
Access for multiple-use, including snowmobiling and proper management of our natural resources is in my list of important issues. So is my right to own a gun. So is a strong military. So is less government control of my life. So is private property rights.
Any question which camp I fall in?
I should hope not.

ruffryder said:Maybe that is the problem. We are more inclined to think about ourselves when voting and not the greater good of the US when voting. I don't think many people think, this person is the best choice for Americans, rather they think, this person is the best choice for me.
When I can't decide between the two heads of the same beast, I vote green/independent. The earth is more important than my personal wants.
Well now, since not everyone has the same opinions and priorities on who is the "best choice for Americans", it would be completely impossible for everyone to agree on who is "the best choice for Americans". Therefor the best voters can do is educate themselves on the issues and vote for what is important to them.
"Green party"? If you truely believe in the principles of the green party, why do you chose to violate the earth through snowmobiling (in their point of view) by increasing your carbon footprint for no other reason than your personal enjoyment?![]()

Special interests are killing this country, from the homophobes to the gunophiles to the abortionists. Topics that only effect a small minority of the public are being used to decide major government races. Seems the opposite of what it should be.

Hold on, I need to get off my high horse. It is a long way down now that I look.![]()
The problem with that is...who are you to try and decide what is best for America or the greater good?
Try to focus on yourself in a responsible light, rather than try to save the world with your vote.
I am pretty sure NONE of us have nearly enough facts to decide what is best for the earth, that is pretty arrogant don't you think?
I'm impressed to see this line of thought on the snowest forum. I couldn't agree more. i love sledding, but man we have WAY bigger issues that trump sledding.
Sorry dude, but telling me my passion isn't important is disrespectful.
BTW, why should I be punished because of a few "disrespectful snowmobilers". I'm very respectful, why should I be punished. Should we shut permanently down the interstate because a couple of kids were racing?
I also believe that the national forest is for the people to enjoy
And you know, I bet the environment won't change one bit whether I snowmobile or not.
