Bill to expand the size of the Oregon Caves nearly tenfold would lead to a ban on hunting on those lands

The bill was introduced jointly by Sens. Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley, Oregon Democrats who tout the legislation as a way to preserve the monument, improve forest health and boost the local economy without banning hunting.
The bill would designate more than 4,000 acres of Forest Service land for a preserve and transfer its management to the National Park Service, which manages the Oregon Caves. The version of the Oregon Caves Revitalization Act that passed the U.S. Senate unanimously last week contains language that says the National Park Service would maintain hunting and fishing access in those current Forest Service-managed lands.But skeptics such as Central Point hunter Michael Mull are wary of the Park Service's attitude toward hunters. One of the agency's leaders told a Senate committee last year that the Park Service would "prefer" to phase hunting out in five years should it get management of the surrounding lands.

OBAMA ADMINISTRATION SIGNS UN ANTI-GUN TREATY

As you know, the Obama administration signed onto the anti-gun"UN Small Arms Treaty.” Every knowledgeable pro-gun source has declared this is a blatant attack on our rights and sovereignty. Republicans in the Senate have vowed that this treaty will not be ratified, but as we have seen, the Obama machine is more than happy to ignore the law and the will of the people to implement its agenda. This is certainly a dangerous development. Oregon has two of the most anti-gun Senators in the country. No doubt they are eager to move forward with this liberty crushing"treaty.” Still they need to hear from you. Please contact Wyden and Merkley and demand that they vote against any ratification of the UN Small Arms Treaty.
