Interested in keeping National Parks public?  Then take a close look at
the "Pelosi" bill, currently included in the infamous Omnibus legislative
package along with the bill to turn the Utah Wilderness over to industry. 
The Pelosi bill gives a blueprint for private interests to take control of
a National Park under the guise of "saving" it.  

1)	How would you like your favorite National Park taken away from the
National Park Service and handed over to a small group of well-connected
private individuals to control?

2)	Do you want to have national park lands "sold" to private groups
in the form of 99 year leases?

3)	Do you want to have a group of 7 unelected individuals making
loans to corporations or private citizens where 75% of the loans are
guaranteed by the federal taxpayer? 

4)	Do you want to have a National Park run to "maximize revenues"
rather than administered by public servants to preserve and protect the
historical and environmental aspects of the park?  Do you want to have
access to National Park lands restricted to the public for the benefit of
tenants?

5)	Do you want federal land administered by a Board that is not
required to have public involvement, published agendas, all meetings open,
significant opportunities for the public comment on proposals, and
meaningful processes to respond to public concerns?  

6)	Do you want a National Park administered without normal
competitive bidding and conflict of interest prohibitions?   Do you want a
park administered by an entity that is exempt from normal federal
contracting requirements and procedures which are designed to reduce fraud
and corruption?  

These things can happen if the Presidio Trust legislation passes. 
Establishing a Trust to control the Presidio of San Francisco National
Park will show private groups how to gain control of any National Park. 
If you DON'T want this to happen, please "write" your congressperson to
oppose the bill anytime it comes up.  It may not remain bundled with the
Hansen Wilderness bill.  If the bill should pass, please urge the
President to veto it.

Francisco National Park, an analysis of the bill's provisions, and a copy
