Just tried to go to this site but it is down for maintenance right now. Will try again later today.

Signed.
Those idiots.
Feh.

At the same time, I WISH I could find oil on my land (that didn't get drained outta the tractor)

It's about fuct up that we are not allowed to use motorized vehicles on certain roads, but it's OK to just rape the Forrest for oil. Am I missing something here.
As for the people saying "don't want to be dependent on foreign oil". Nobody is saying "don't drill for oil in America". Just don't do it in the GD Forrest. How hard is that? I know they can drill miles away & turn into the Forrest. Do that.

I say let's put the wells in the middle of town! leave the forest alone!

any of you interested in the TOWN HALL meeting it will be in Jay (north of milton) on feb.25th

With this looming on the not-too-distant horizon, we definitely do NOT need delicate ecosystems such as the BW State Forest messed with.

"North America, the New Middle East?"

good link pedro! that is both terrifying and exciting...

We are thinking about riding over from Tallahassee for the meeting... not 100% sure yet but if we go we have a burb that seats up to nine and will be willing to provide transport to others for gas money.

excellent!

These sisters are running this site and this fundraiser to rally a united front against drilling in our state forest. check it out

Excellence.
Everywhere!

Activism at-large is wonderful. Glad to see it, friends.

But let us not forget to do the follow-the-money rubric on whyTF Rep. Broxson got behind this in the first place. $$$$

I smell payola

I also smell a short State-level political career for squire Broxson, despite his family name gravitas in SR county (Broxson Landing, anyone?)


Bye, bubba

I agree about leaving BW free from drills, but how many of you were for the Keystone pipe line project. Dont be one of those its ok as long as its not in my back yard mo fos.

Billy, hope they don't suck the oil out from under your property out there and give you squat.
Could that be the plan?
Pay little for public land lease/oil rights and twist those drilling pipes into the surrounding private properties and get that oil too.

Win-win AGAIN for the corporations.

hmmmmm the same environmentalist whackjob types that are against getting the oil are also against motorcycles in the wild..... guess we're in the middle here

It looks like Broxson withdrew the bill

really? Yeah!

The meeting is still on for Monday.

Broadbrush FAIL, friend. I'm one of those environmentalist whackjob types against the Drill and urging protection to access for bikes in Fed/State Gov lands. There are more of us than you might think, guy. The Ideology spread of the folks that signed that petition might surprise you. And i suspect that's precisely why Broxson caved.

Striving for good land stewardship for ALL land uses-- m/c's, jeeps, horse-folks, lumber folks, hunters, birders, pitcher plant fans, butterfly freaks, mushroom hunters, fishers, fern-sniffers, etc etc etc etc-- is what this is about.


Convenient grab-handle 'whackjob' terminology shit is going to work less and less.

Broxson blames misinformation....yeah, right!

I woke a lot to the local political diversity these last many days.
I used to always look upon Bronx Landing as something to smile about....

dammit.
