Vote NO on HJ Res 140. NO to mining pollution in the Boundary Waters
To: Sen. King, Sen. Collins
From: A verified voter in Lewiston, ME
April 15
Please, vote NO on HJ Res 140.
Do NOT allow the glorious unspoiled Boundary Waters to be opened up to mining that will bring forever pollution and spread contaminants.
Remember that the Boundary Waters are our most visited wilderness.
Remember that the Boundary Waters bring in more income from tourism than they will from mining.
This mining scheme is particularly troubling-- beyond the pollution damage, the profits will go to a Chilean mining magnate linked to Jared Kushner and the processing will be done in China. That makes it an America last scheme of pillage and ruin.
Support for our national lands is high and bipartisan. I am disgusted with the attempts to pillage and ruin our national wilderness, monuments, and forests.
Please, SAVE the splendor of the Boundary Waters. VOTE NO on HJ RES 140
