NO "Fix our forests" bill. NO ruinous private profit logging on public lands

To: Sen. Collins, Rep. Golden, Sen. King

From: A verified voter in Lewiston, ME

October 25

Vote NO on the "Fix our forests" bill. It does nothing to fix forests. It's carte blanche for raping and pillaging: The so-called Fix Our Forests Act claims to reduce wildfires – in reality, it could make them worse. Instead of enacting real solutions that protect forests and communities from wildfires, it prioritizes industrial logging and weakens critical environmental safeguards across millions of acres of public land. This pro-logging legislation would roll back bedrock conservation laws, silence public input, and fast-track destructive logging projects. It's a giveaway to timber industry lobbyists, not a real solution to wildfire risk. Public land is OUR land. Do not allow it to be ruined and exploited for private gain.
