Restore Sanity to the Management of Cape Hatteras National Seashore Recreational Area
|
Put management back into the hands of the NPS Superintendent and take it out of the hands
of the radical environmentalists who have taken over our beaches.

On June 11, 2008, members of the NC Congressional Delegation, introduced bills (HR 6233 & S 3113) to set
aside the recently enacted consent decree that has virtually eliminated your access to Cape Hatteras National
Seashore Recreational Area. The bill will set aside the consent decree and resume resource management as
developed by NPS & USFWS -“The Interim Plan”. This plan was developed and instituted to guide the NPS
until conclusion of the on-going Negotiated Rulemaking process and allows local NPS management to make
the necessary decisions to protect wildlife while guaranteeing access to the public.
A critical phase in the future of beach access has been reached and I must ask each of you to step-up and
participate – now! This means today! Congress will soon go into summer recess and recess again in the fall for
elections. We must have these bills passed before the fall recess.
First: A letter of thanks is due to: Senators Richard Burr and Elizabeth Dole and Congressman Walter Jones, Jr.
for introducing this much needed legislation.
Second: Contact your senators and representatives and ask them to support HR 6233 & S 3113. (This does
not only apply to NC residents, this is a national issue and needs the support of the entire congress.) Plead with
your members of congress to drop all partisan politics and unanimously support the prompt passage of this
legislation.
This is an election year, tell them where you live, so they know that you vote in their district. Ask them to Co-
Sponsor and support HR 6233 & S 3113 that are so important to eastern NC and the whole state that relies on
the tourist dollars that flow from this region to the rest of the state. Thank them for their help.
The contact info for all state delegations is posted for quick access, all other addresses can be found at:

US mail (subject to inspection) may take up to 30 days, fax is the quickest, e-mail is the least effective and may
not get personal attention. A phone call requires someone to answer and a personal visit to the local office is
most effective.
No matter how you make contact, do it NOW!
