While I appreciate your candor, Peggy, this IS a real situation. My husband and I have a Lifetime Pass to ALL the National Parks. HOWEVER, when we attempted to just "Drive Through" Yosemite for our Anniversary in 2022, we were told we needed an Entry Reservation, made at least 10 days in advance for $2.50. AND, we MUST pay by Credit Card, Debit Card, or Cash Advance Card. Doesn't THAT defeat the purpose of a LIFETIME National Park Pass?

CHD caught wind of this EGREGIOUS situation. I don't agree with their "possible" solicitation, but HOW do you know these 3 individuals weren't previously affected, as was I and my husband? Isn't the SIN the NPS is perpetrating upon me more important. AND How do I PROVE that I was impacted and affected? Seems to me you should have asked if any had been affected by the situation.

The worst part, we had to turn around, add an additional 3 hours travel time, decided to drive to San Francisco, over the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito, but we're denied a 2ND time, traveling over the Bridge, as it is ALSO a NPS Bridge! We had to drive BACK to Oakland, bypass the GOLDEN GATE Bridge because we didn't make a $2.50 Reservation ten days prior.

It TOTALLY defeated our Roadtrip to ENJOY our National Parks for our 34th Wedding Anniversary, even though we have a Lifetime Senior Pass!

In my opinion, this is BULLSHIT!

Call me for the details. I HAVE details!

I agree the method is underhanded (what else have we come to expect from Democrats?), but I think the objective is about rejecting cash and only taking plastic, relative to the intention to force digital banking on us all. I could be wrong about that, too of course,but they sure are pushing that everywhere hard of late. And IF Hebrew scholars are correct, which I believe they are, the coming solar eclipse starts Passover and the last allotted Shemitah, the last 7 yrs allotted to this world as we have known it! That would mean time is short to get that started.

So appreciate you being honest and decent in your approach to solving these problems! We can’t sink to the level of the public “serpents” as you so rightly call them. I believe God rewards His faithful and honest servants.👍🏻 Thank you Peggy for your thorough research too!

Just now I rcvd an interesting email from CHD Hawai’i. They were soliciting money from me for a $250 seat at a dinner table for to listen to Dr Tenpenny speak.

I unsubscribed to their email list and clicked “Other” for my reason.

Here’s what I gave them as my reason:

“CHD’s validity to myself and many others is in question due to a BOGUS lawsuit “cash vs CC” over entry fees to National parks. Money grubbers.”

I had limited characters to express my reason.

TruthSeeker: a rare individual who will not compromise ethics or integrity.

Are any such persons members of the bar??

One confused person consistently suggests its "all a matter of degree"

Some of us do not go down that slippery slope.

Thank you @PeggyHall for standing up for integrity, and truth. Isn’t that supposed to be the “American way?” This is all based on lies. I HATE lies. And we know who Jesus said is “the father of lies.”

This brings back an old memory from back in the 80’s. A “Christian” neighbor came to my house asking if she could put my address down on duplicate coupons she was mailing in so she could benefit from more discounts coupons. The rules clearly stated “Only on coupon per household allowed.” My conscience was so sensitive before the Lord, and still is, that when I told her I couldn’t join in on this for her, she became very angry and pretty much stopped taking to me. So I applaud your honestly and integrity. God sees all and ALL “swindlers” will be “rewarded.”

Even Jesus said “the wages/rewards of sin is death.”
