Outdoor show attendees urged to get political like the NRA

摘要

DENVER — As the Outdoor Retailer + Snow Show kicked off its first events in Colorado this week, conservation advocates urged attendees to emulate "the NRA playbook" to ensure Congress and political candidates support their preferred public lands policies. The trade show opened in Denver today following a split with its longtime home in Salt Lake City over Utah Gov. Gary Herbert's (R) support for massive reductions to two national monuments in the Beehive State (Greenwire, Feb. 24, 2017). That dispute — centered on President Trump's cuts in December to Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments — remained at the forefront of the week's first events (Greenwire, Dec. 4, 2017).
