What right do city slickers have to give away rural land? To be fair, why not include all of the costal lands into Y2Y? It's time you started thinking of what's good for your state and it's citizens rather than your votes bought by Pagan Communist outsiders. Anyone who votes for this should move to a different country because you don't care about this one.

Pend Oreille County, where I live, is already 85% public land. We can't aford to 'lock up' more land to private ownership. If the people in Seattle would like to make our area more wild they can decommission Boundary Dam and pay California for their power. I would like to invite the people that support this bill to visit the NE corner of the state...I suspect they have NO idea how much wild country there is up here.

This sounds like a good way to find out just how many patriot, red-necked, unregistered gun owners live in Northern Idaho and Western Montana.

I highly oppose this bill!

I too am a Pend Oreille Resident, and I am tickled that Y-2-Y is being considered. A healthy ecosystem is an intact one that is not chopped up into tiny islands of wildlife friendly 'zoos'. In this day and age, an abundant and diverse wildlife population will only add to property values and improve tourism possibilities for local businesses while maintaining the quality of life here.

I DO NOT SUPPORT THIS BILL!

I strongly oppose this bill. Please take action now and listen to the voice of the people. We do not want to support anything that requires us to give up land to the governemt. This bill should not be forced on us. Please vote no.

I live here in Pend Oreille county and it is not densely populated. We have abundant wild life. Why is this so important to those who push this bill? What are they worried about? Why does this involve Canada? Have there been other international agreements that we don't know about? Our sovereign unailienable rights to property ownership are being infringed upon. I do not believe the "collective" would take better care of my land through regulation then I would through my vested interest. Vote no! American principles MUST prevail!

This is being pushed on you and the rest of us because King, Pierce, Snohomish and Clark counties are full of left wing actavists. They think since the majority of population resides in these counties that their opinions are the only ones that count
