I oppose the devaluation and giveaway of public lands in the House rules (Sec. 3, Part 3, (2)(A-B)). By treating these spaces as disposable and omitting any meaningful guardrails for their use, Congress is not solving problems; it's creating new ones. Citizens have a right—and a responsibility—to demand better. Public lands belong to all of us, not to the highest bidder or most connected developer. Public lands are more than real estate—they are shared spaces that define our national character. They offer economic value, cultural significance, environmental protection, and deep personal meaning for millions of Americans.
