Need SUWA info

[LonnieC]

I am going to be writing an argumentative essay on SUWA. So I come to you guys for help on where to get some good information so that I can make valid arguments. I need claims from both sides but I will be arguing that they don't have the right to close the trails that are already established and that by doing so, it will only cause more trails to be built in other locations.

Any of your thoughts or ideas on places to get good info will be appreciated.

This would wipe out so many jobs and and small communities that depend on tourism in Utah! I think these idiot's need to pull their heads out and look at the big picture!

I've seen their commercials on at least three different channels and often within the last week... Makes me mad!

^^^ Yup, me too. Bunch of BS. The offroad community should make a commercial, with donation info!
