Congress: Save Our Public Lands!

America's public lands, long held in trust by the government for its people, may soon be up for grabs.

Recently a majority of the US Senate voted to support an amendment to a budget resolution that would sell or give away all federal lands other than national parks and monuments.

The resolution is nonbinding, but the vote signals a troubling possibility; that if the measure is ever implemented it could mean hundreds of millions of acres of national forests, wildlife refuges, and historic sites will revert to the states, local governments or be auctioned off to the highest bidder.

This contradicts what most American voters want. All over the country, Americans from across the political spectrum voted to protect the land and water that support the health of our communities. Just last year, $13.2 billion was approved by voters in 35 initiatives around the country to preserve our precious natural resources.

But, this consensus is being ignored in Congress. Rather than selling off the lands we all own, our leaders should listen to voters and find ways to protect more of the places that make America special.

We have a duty to protect our public lands now and for future generations. Take a stand today: Send a message to your US Senators and Representatives letting them know that you fully support the protection and preservation of our public lands!
Dear [Representative]:

Public land plays a vital role in conserving and protecting our environment. Yet recently some members of Congress voted to support an amendment to a budget resolution that would sell or give away all federal lands other than national parks and monuments.

That completely contradict what the American public wants. Just last year voters approved of 35 land conservation initiatives around the country, choosing to send $13.2 billion towards preserving our precious natural resources.

I stand with people around the country in supporting our public lands and calling on you to protect and preserve them now and for future generations!

Sincerely,

[Your name]
