one thing about Prayer---not to many levels of bureaucracy between you and the decision maker!

The US House named the new committee members to various committees yesterday---not near as much concentration in the Western US as before---much more spread around the USA--- many of us need to learn how to become Salt Ambassadors.

With nall of the information we've been getting (take that for what it's worth) -- has there been any pumping? Anyone got data and not just hearsay?

Woody, with all due respect -- I just went through the link you supplied and then went back and RE-read the aticle on p.2 of the latest BRN. And now I ask AGAIN:

Is there any current news about pumping?

Here we go another year, another reason to use our beloved salt.

Some Portland ,Or boneheads are 'demanding' that ODOT begin using salt after this last fiasco, regardless of road/vehicle/ environmental issues!! We get what, 1-2 BAD storms per season and these yo-hos think it's the end of the world. Being in the automotive repair business , but born & raised a NY'er , I know first hand (as we all do) what salt does to vehicles. So don't they have clue what the hell they are un-leashing?? I would respectfully suggest that all us left-coasters contact ODOT (as I have) to pour water on this fire before it even gets going. I'm not sure about the link below, the computer has been doing some weird things lately. Pray for great salt!!! Happy New Year !!

AZ update:

I put my red cap and blue 3 Chapter Shirt on and went to a Post Office renaming ceremony yesterday and met with several current members of the US House of Representatives including two of the 3 AZ Congressmen who are on the House Interior Department Committee a Republican and a Democrat. I have not met face to face with our Senator or the Ranking member of the Interior Department Committee who were not in attendance. I asked who in their office would be responsible for their Interior Committee issues here in AZ. In each case I was either introduced or directed to their District Director & Intergovernmental Affairs person. When I will follow up brieftly lay the ground work in person and make arrangements to bring the bill to their attention when the plan to "drop" or file it.

I have called around enough to understand we are all waiting for the new Director of the BLM to be nominated then I will go to Senator Flakes office and begin to present our case for Restoring to Preserve the Salt Flats

If we get really lucky maybe we get a CAR GUY as the head of the BLM---how sweet would that be!!!!!!!

Thanx for your great work Sparky. Unfortunately this past week the New Administration castrated several Government bodies including the Department of Interior and they are all under review and not allowed to comment to the Press or anyone else for that matter. And its just getting started folks.......................

And to add a little to Sparky's comments, today at the 200 MPH Club board meeting it was brought to our attention that SEMA is ALL IN with lobby members in DC who also feel that the new head of the Dept. of Interior is a plus for racers and saving the salt flats.
We will soon be getting more info on a letter writing campaign & who to write too.

Keep up the good fight Bill...

Let Me try to defuse this unintended bomb before it goes any farther.
My concern is that any work that Has hopefully already been done by Save The Salt and or SEMA be set aside or pushed back by the turnover and possible restructuring of the Department of the Interior and its Underling, The BLM.
I am not saying there is anything wrong with doing just that. What I AM saying is that it appears ... here We go again, another slowdown or restart of the same old sh*t load of excuses for nothing happening to restore the Salt. It's as if We are climbing a Sand Dune... three steps up, slide back down two.
And again I give My full gratitude to EVERYONE who has given time and money to the cause.
