I know it has been a little quite, but the needle is moving, ever so slightly. I mentioned in an earlier comment that I got back more of a response from my Senator than just the stand form letter. They told me that the DEP are talking internally and are going to respond to the Senator's about...

So, it is at least within the realm of possibility that it being open has something to do with an exchange I had with Rob. (When he was still responding to me. ;-) ) before the map was released, I asked him about the plans for this road specifically, explaining that that it provided access for...

So they went from "we will hold public stakeholder forums and the maps will come out at end of the summer" to "there will be no input accepted" and as soon as pressure mounted, they released the map early to quickly change the status quo before too much pressure was applied.

Hi all, Wanted to let you know that I've heard back from my Senator. I am from the 9th District. Sen Connors, through a member of this staff, relayed that he had received around ten letters to date from his constituency. He expressed our concerns to the DEP Commissioner and the DEP is in...

Just an update on Dave's meeting yesterday. There were 50+ in attendance and it was a great discussion. I passed around a paper petition that contained the letter I posted earlier in the thread and got 50 signatures. I'm sending copies to District 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, (Districts represented...

Outdoorgirl, I think you might have just misunderstood Teegate. He is just saying this is the their way to actually make a ticket stick. If the maps are published, you could no longer claim that that you didn't know you couldn't be there. Hence the saying "ignorance of the law is no excuse"...

Yes, I was kind of surprised at some of the comments on the PPA Facebook page. Things like "they were illegal roads anyway" and people implying that the roads that were closed were where a monster truck just plowed right through the virgin under brush or something. I was kind of left wondering...

Smoke, if your trying to get in to talk to Auermuller, heads up, I got an out of office email from him through Aug 4th when I sent my last email to him.

Personally, I would disagree. I think we have a couple things going for us. The first is social media. I was actually surprised myself how much reach our message has gotten. Once we get some more insight of how to best influence things, (I'm hoping to learn from my state Sen. office) we can...

The PPA has posted a link to the Inquirer article on their Facebook page. If you are so inclined, feel free to head on over and politely, calmly, and professionally, make yourself heard. https://www.facebook.com/Pinelands/posts/10153433513550731

Lol, I was thinking the same thing, I did the same drive today. I wanted to run down to make they didn't close Rider's Switch (they didn't).

Huh, I wonder if someone already pulled them down? That one pic I posted earlier in the thread was from Carranza, just past the correctional facility.

Now not only do I have to remember patch computer, but now I need to remember to patch my car too! :-)

Did you ever wind up talking to District 1? I'm curious what they have to say about this. Have they been give updated regulations that give them the ability to enforce this or are they currently "suggestions". Given we know the "maps" aren't complete, I wonder how they know what to enforce?

Thanks! I've updated the post to include links to our state Senate and Assembly.

Good question, they all have direct email addresses, too. Even easier! :-)

Hi all, If you want to contact your congressmen, I've done some research to make it easy for you. (Edit: I've pulled out the US Congress info, because, on reflection, I think Mike is right, the State Senate and Assembly is the right forum) The contact info for our state NJ Senators and...

I'm at work now, but later on today, I'll be posting a little write up and our Senators and Representatives email addresses that you all can just cut and paste and send in an email. It couldn't get any easier. :-) I'll also cross post it on the 4x4 meeting's Facebook group and ask those who are...
