SUWA: Help Fight Industry 'Front Groups'

In a news release, the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance warns that "[o]ff-road vehicle ('ORV') groups, out-of-state energy industry 'front groups' and ultra conservative politicians are lashing out at wilderness in Utah and we need your help to blunt their misinformation tactics. On Saturday, August 8, an anti-wilderness and anti-federal government rally self-titled 'Take Back Utah' will be held in Salt Lake City. This event is being organized by ORV organizations and out-of-state energy companies. ... They are part of a web of energy industry front groups working to ensure that wild lands everywhere are open to energy development."
