Subject: Sportsman opposing the sale or transfer of public lands


Jun 18, 2016

Governor Nikki Haley
Office of the Governor
1205 Pendleton Street
Columbia, SC 29201

Dear Governor Haley,

As an American sportsman who values public lands for hunting and
fishing, I request that you actively pledge your support for America's
public lands legacy and reject efforts to transfer federal public lands
to individual states.

America's public lands managed by agencies such as the U.S. Forest
Service and Bureau of Land Management provide important fish and
wildlife habitat and public access for hunting and fishing. Millions of
American's use these lands to spend time with their families, put food
on their tables and enjoy the great outdoors.

States are simply not equipped to support the enormous costs associated
with managing public lands. State ownership would result in the fire
sale of public lands to billionaires and foreign companies, where
millions of acres would be closed to public access and an American
birthright would be lost.

Sincerely,

Mr. donald beard
