    What exactly is Sierra Club? From what I understand they are pro conservation. Anything else they may be?

      A bit more than pro-conservation.
      They are an extremely liberal lobbying group, and they are one of the groups who fought to put an end to the expansion of building dams to produce hydroelectric power, and they are among the groups attempting to drain the reservoirs and breach the dams on Northern California rivers.
      Lake Folsom and Lake Mead being so low is not because of the drought. We don't have a water supply problem, we have a water management problem. This problem is due to straw-man environmental policies.... dumping water into the ocean while providing no benefit.
      Last year, the flood gates were opened on Lake Mead to send a large torrent down with the goal of flooding Laguna Salada. LS has been a barren desert for decades, and the "logic" behind the release was to help restore the area to what it once was.
      ONE release? Sheer stupidity and a waste of millions of gallons of water.

      They are the PETA of wildlands management.
      Their ultimate goal is that all forests and natural habitats are completely closed to human beings except for the specific persons and uses that THEY feel are appropriate.

      We have lost tens of thousands of square miles of off-highway vehicle land because of their activism.

      Given their way, we would be restricted to paved roads... then their next step would be to remove the paved roads.

        I joined and sent them a modest check every year. They spent more money on postage and late night phone calls to my home than I contributed. I respect their ideas, I despise their tactics and no longer contribute. 5
        Small price to pay for all the good they do. I don't like all the junk mail either but I'm sure as he'll not going to quit over it. They hit us up because the left won't rest. It's an expensive fight and I'm glad the NRA exists. We should all be members of the CRPA, CRKBA, and the 2nd Amendment Foundation also.
