I attended my last meeting of the Board of the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance in Salt Lake City this week. I have been on that Board for 24 years. SUWA is probably one of the best run regional environmental groups in America. It has managed to save millions of acres of stunning Utah Landscapes from the ravages of the peculiar politics in Utah. It is a constant fight with the state's DC delegation who never saw a piece of wilderness they wanted to protect.
Now, the dangers are worse than ever with a psychopathic president and GOP Congress, and yet the effectiveness of SUWA still stands. As trump and DOI Secretary zinke attempt to kill new National Monuments in Utah, SUWA stands as a solid line of defense.
Please
send some money to this great organization.

I've been following them for a few years and they do get things done. Thanks, Jim, for helping out. Just looking at your history, what you can bring to bear must have contributed to their success.
By the way, I urge anyone who hasn't already to take a drive across the state line and see Southwest Utah. I believe it's one of the most beautiful places on earth. (If you drive to Las Vegas you go right through it.)
Thank you for your service.
