Statistically, more people than not decide who to vote for based on one or two specific issues and the stand the candidates take on those issues.
If you base your vote on the issue of the environment, or more specifically, on the issue of access opportunities for motorized recreation, United urges those of you in the U.S. (eligible to vote) to vote for George W. Bush/Dick Cheney for President on Nov. 2, 2004.
Here’s why+:
John Kerry’s position on the environment, access, and motorized use:
* Wants immediate crackdown on car emissions, which can jeopardize the availability of future models of light trucks, SUVs and Jeep-type vehicles.
* He has one of the most pro-environmentalist records in the Senate.
* He supports the “Clean Power Act” with substantially more stringent limits on emissions for greenhouse gases, despite the fact that the global warming theory has been disproved by credible peer reviewed science.
* Plans a “Restore America’s Waters’” campaign that would, among other things, instruct all federal agencies that net losses of wetlands will not be tolerated, despite other considerations that agencies must legally make.
* Did not vote on Pres. Bush’s Healthy Forests Initiative (Healthy Forest Restoration Act) and later said he would have voted against the initiative had he voted.
* Supported Clinton’s Roadless Rule and has stated he would “revisit” the rule.
* Promises to end the logging of old-growth trees on public lands, despite any considerations to the contrary that the health of the forest may depend on thinning of old-growth trees.
George Bush’s position on the environment, access, and motorized use:
* Opposes mandatory cuts in carbon dioxide and does not support the Kyoto treaty.
* Initiated a “clear skies initiative” to replace the “Clean Air Act” with a market-based system to encourage companies to cut emissions voluntarily.
* Passed the Healthy Forests Initiative to thin forests to reduce the risk of wildfire.
*Suspended, then proposed replacing, the Clinton Roadless Rule. The proposed replacement would leave road building and other roadless area management decisions to the states.
* 2005 budget will address his promises to eliminate forest and park maintenance backlog.
Thank you,
