I guess it is pretty simple decision for many who never go outside to enjoy our national treasures and wildlands.... folks have three choices to make:
1) The recreation areas go unfunded and unprotected, or
2) The users pay a use fee for the areas they visit, or
3) Everyone shares in the taxation for the use, upkeep, and protection of these areas.
It isn’t a simple choice.

Our Federal public lands are unique. They are our heritage and we should guard them against bureaucratic zealots. Let us remain the land of the free, not the land of the fee.
