I tried to send this message to the Save the Salt Coalition but the Submit button is turned off. Hmmmmm.

After reading the BLM document, I started a petition on We The People. I think the first course of action must be to shut off the pumps. Second would be fill in the drainage ditches. I have no hope of a restoration effort by Intrepid or the BLM. Perhaps the Salt will reform; I hope it doesn't take another 14,000 years.

Please sign the petition,
Sam

It has required spaces for name and email address.
Not required is zip code.
(A friend from Liverpool has already signed.)

Because it is an INTERNATIONAL Speedway, I think everybody has a say.

Long time lurker here. Anyone who has ever even been to the salt should sign this. 100K signatures on the petition and the White House will reply and that might just catch the attention of the right people and get some action before it's just flat too late.

Edit: I just tweeted at Hot Rod Magazine the link to Sid's video of the salt conditions at the 7 mile mark and a link to the petition. Hope they put it out there to their followers and this gains some steam.

Hi Sam

Thanks for posting the link, just put my ' John Henry ' on there too

Have you thought about putting the link on the ' H.A.M.B ' forum as there are a ton of people on it all the time 24-7

I'am a thinking that could really help too, to get the word out as us salt nuts need all the help we can get on this deal

I signed the petition but when an email was sent to me to confirm my signature, I couldn't do so because I got a message that said that "Safari could not make a secure connection to the server".  Also the link to the supporting document said "URL not found."  Maybe the server knows that I am in Canada!  I'll try again next week when I arrive in the U.S.

Me too.
There was a song which said, daddy take us down to Murimber county, down by the green river where paradise lay, I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking, Mr peabody's coal train done hauled it away!
We can change a few words and march down to the Whitehouse and chant it. You never know what makes some of these power players tick.
