An open letter to the U.S. Congress

NO HJ res 140. PROTECT the BOUNDARY WATERS. Stop other environmental destruction

3,235 so far! Help us get to 5,000 signers!

I'm alarmed by the continuous assault on our wild places, national forests and national parks, endangered species, rivers and air continuously advanced by Trump and certain GOP members of Congress. When the last river is too foul to fish in or drink, when the last bee perishes and our human crops cannot grow because they cannot be pollinated, when there is no wild land to camp or fish and hunt in, when wild fires threaten your houses and pollution means you need to run an air filter in your home... And you know that world of devastation dirt and ruin is the one Trump and Lee Zeldin and Rep Stauber created... how will you explain this to your grandchildren? Please VOTE NO In HJ res 140: Save the Boundary Waters. Please vote NO on Pearce for Bureau of Land Management Please OPPOSE the Forest Service and National park cuts Please hold hears and legislate to STOP the EPA from changing regulations to favor polluters Let's consider one example: "The EPA proposed weakening rules requiring cleanup of coal ash sites that contaminate groundwater with mercury, lead, and arsenic. Administrator Lee Zeldin tied the changes to the Trump administration's "energy dominance" agenda. Burning coal produces ash containing mercury, lead, cobalt, arsenic, cadmium, chromium, and selenium. The Natural Resources Defense Council links these contaminants to cancer, heart disease, and brain damage. Coal plants typically sit on the banks of rivers and other waterways." Stop the gutting of climate research. Remind your colleagues that if we relied on renewable energy energy, fluctuations in oil prices and control of the straights of Hormuz would not affect us. Please vote NO on HJ res 140 and let your votes on other issues be guided by concern for preserving the environment from human-caused destruction
