Please make a minute to take action urging your Rep to co-sponsor this very important Legislation!
We now have 26 co-sponsors but need more.
This Bill (H.R. 1581) is currently in Committee (Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests and Public Lands), has not “been reported by, or discharged from, the last committee authorized to consider it†and therefore your Representative can still become a co-sponsor.
It REALLY does not get any easier than this!!!
Here are three different two-minute action items to help get this done, they come pre-filled with comments but can be personalized too.

Honorable Congressman Lungren:
Thank you for responding to the personally written email inquiry I sent to you with the nice form letter created by one of your staff personnel regarding Bill H.R. 1581, the Wilderness and Roadless Area Release Act of 2011. I appreciate the opportunity to hear generic excuses from my Public Servants about why they will not attend to the business of the people who employ them.
As you may know, H.R. 1581 would release wilderness study areas administered by the Bureau of Land Management that are not suitable for wilderness designation and release inventoried roadless areas within the National Forest System that are not recommended for wilderness designation.
As you may not be aware, this Bill (H.R. 1581) currently in Committee (Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests and Public Lands), has not “been reported by, or discharged from, the last committee authorized to consider it†and therefore you my Representative can still become a cosponsor.
So, I am writing again today to ask why you are not yet a cosponsor of H.R. 1581: Wilderness and Roadless Area Release Act of 2011?
Yes, I know that you “do not serve on this Subcommittee“, but as you know that does not prevent you from becoming a cosponsor.
If you truly mean all you say in the informational “E-Newsletters†your office always sends to me about unemployment, Government out of control and other important issues then here is a chance to prove it to me and many other constituents of yours. I am sure you are aware that this Bill, if passed, would create jobs and help simulate our local economy, which is always one of your stated goals.
I look forward to finding you as a cosponsor of H.R. 1581 in the near future!
Sincerely,
My Crap Went Here

they can't even think for themselvesH.R.1581 Moves on to Senate as S.1087 ???
It appears as though H.R.1581 may have made it out of the House though it cannot be determined at this time. A very similar Bill was introduced in the Senate as S.1087 yesterday (05/26/2011) sponsored by Senator Barrasso.
S. 1087: A bill to release wilderness study areas administered by the Bureau of Land Management that are... (GovTrack.us)
There are currently four cosponsors, time to multi-task and start firing off emails, letters and phone calls to our Senators too asking them to cosponsor this legislation.
The full text of the legislation is not available at this time nor does it have an official short title but something should be released early next week. The big guns in the Land Access fight should have a determination regarding what is going on and letter generators up shortly.
Kudos to those of you who have taken action and spent two minutes to fire off an email, letter or phone call urging your Representative to cosponsor the House Bill, folks who viewed this thread and have not acted NEED to on both Bills!!!
