Carl Pope Highest Quotations

Gale Norton was an unpopular symbol of unpopular policies. Americans do not believe their public lands should be sold to the highest bidder, and they don't believe in privatizing their parks, forests, monuments. While the symbol of those unpopular policies may be leaving, we don't expect those unpopular policies to change.

These public lands are icons of our natural and cultural history. They belong to us all, and it is not up to congressmen Pombo or Tancredo to offer them to the highest bidder.
