The following is just ONE of enviro groups email that they are sending out in regards to this. I do subscribe to MANY of these groups email action alerts, using a different email address set up just for this stuff. It alerts me to what the other side is doing.

Dear Montana Winter Wildlands Supporter,

Mount Jefferson, one of the finest backcountry ski destinations in all of Montana, is on the brink of permanent protection as a motor-free wilderness area. However, a small but vocal consortium of snowmobilers from Idaho are working hard to stop it. Please take a few minutes right now to help ensure the Montana portion of Mount Jefferson gets the protection it deserves.
Mount Jefferson straddles the Montana-Idaho border at the eastern end of the Centennial Mountains and offers excellent, well-established backcountry skiing and snowshoeing opportunities. Hundreds of backcountry skiers know this area and have stayed at the Hellroaring Hut. Small businesses in the region that equip and service backcountry skiers depend on the wilderness character of this area for their long-term economic viability. Senator Tester's Forest Jobs and Recreation Act proposes to protect the Montana side of Mt Jefferson as Wilderness. If the Idaho snowmobile lobby has
its way, Mount Jefferson will be stripped from Senator Tester's legislation and
some of Montana's wildest backcountry will continue to be overrun by snowmobiles. Designating 4,474 acres of Wilderness on the Montana side of Mt Jefferson will have little impact on Idaho snowmobiling opportunities. Adjacent to Mount Jefferson on the Idaho side, the Caribou-Targhee National Forest provides 2.5 million acres for snowmobile use while a mere 545,000 acres of the forest are protected for non-motorized use. The Idaho side of Mount Jefferson as well as the entire Idaho portion of the Centennial Range are unaffected by Sen. Tester's bill and will remain open to snowmobiles.
Wilderness protection for Mount Jefferson would ensure opportunities for quiet winter recreation and secure habitat for some of Montana's most valued wildlife including elk, deer, moose, wolverine, grizzly bears and wolves. A rare east-west trending mountain range, the Centennial Mountains provide important linkage between the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem and the wildlands of central Idaho. A hearing on the bill is scheduled for December 17 and Idaho Senators plan to ask that Mount Jefferson be removed from the bill. Please contact Senator Tester and Senator Baucus today and urge them to hold the line and continue to support protecting the Montana side of Mt Jefferson as Wilderness.

This bothers the s*** out of me seeing as how wilderness designation prevents use by human powered bicycles.

What a load of crap.

What is the source to this? I am writing a paper in my English 1010 class regarding issues just like these. This would work great in my paper.
