This was sent to me by Todd Ockert of UFWDA & Del Albright of Blue Ribbon Coalition.
I figure some of you might know more about this than I.
Please take the time to respond during the Public input which will end on January 29, 2010. What we are asking you to do is ask the BLM to consider:
Alternative A to EA # DOI-BLM-NV-S010-2009-0293-EA, along with the FONSI.
E-Mail, or Snail Mail Kristen Cannon at BLM stating that you are in favor of Option A, along with the FONSI.
Here is her contact information:

'In 2002, Congress passed P.L. 107-350, requiring Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to convey to Clark County, Nevada, a specified and approximate 2,880 acres of public land for use as a centralized shooting facility. The BLM conveyed the land on November 26, 2003.
The shooting park facility has been funded with county, Federal and private money. Since 2003, Federal funding for this project has totaled $64 million. The Federal funding was provided under the Southern Nevada Public Land Act of 1998 (SNPLMA), Parks Trails and Natural Area program. This money was used for site planning, development and construction.
The BLM released on August 3, 2009. During the comment period, 1,046 comment letters were received on the EA. Most of these expressed opinions in favor of the shooting park conveyance. These comments do not require a response from the BLM.A total of 56 comment letters provided new information or raised questions or concerns regarding the EA which went beyond simple expressions of opinion.
Based on an analysis of the public comments and internal BLM review, it has been determined that a new EA is needed in order to consider a wider range of alternatives. Therefore, the BLM has prepared the present EA and is providing the public with 45 days to review the analysis.
