From: A verified voter in Lewiston, ME

April 10

PLEASE Protect the national parks from Trump's proposed cuts-- which will devastate the already diminished staff and resources. The administration wants to cut $736 MILLION from national parks THAT'S CUTTING PARK SERVICE FUNDING BY 25% This would ELIMINATE THOUSANDS MORE PARK STAFF this is on top of existing cuts. cut by 72% • environmental protections also slashed MEANING MORE POLLUTION RISKS FOR PARKS. THE PROPOSAL ALSO INCLUDES $10 BILLION FOR NEW PROJECTS IN D.C. This is harmful and stupid: The national parks are great idea. They are popular, they are loved and celebrated, they are OURS: a precious legacy for us to preserve and hand on undiminished to future generations generations. 26 PARKS HIT RECORD ATTENDANCE LAST YEAR 323 MILLION VISITS IN 2025 Remember: "The [marjority of Americans] want parks protected, fully staffed, and accessible for future generations, not hollowed out by senseless budgets" THIS IS NOT CONTROVERSIAL!!!
