SAVE THE BOUNDARY WATERS! No HJ Res 140 No S 2967 YES HR 588 & S 1366

The Boundary Waters are a national treasure. Please save our wild places and protect them from roads, mining and toxic polluting industries carried out for short term private gain. We don't need any more privatising the profits and socialising losses. We say NO to forever toxic pollution. Today I ask you to please: VOTE NO on HJ Res 140. And NO on S. 2967 The Boundary Waters are a spectacular area of unspoiled wilderness, the most visited wilderness in the U.S. They bring wonder and pleasure to hikers, canoeists, hunters and fishermen. They are a precious legacy to preserve and pass on; they are not ours to wreck forever. Who would want to leave a legacy of toxic forever pollution for our descendants? -- least of all when the ruin would be done for one-off profits going to a Chilean magnate connected to Jared Kushner? You are surely aware that the Boundary waters bring in more money annually from tourism than will be made from this ruinous mining scheme? There is broad bipartisan support for saving the Boundary Waters from mining and pollution. In due course please sign on to sponsor, declare your support, and vote for, the upcoming legislation that will PROTECT the Boundary Waters: Rep. Betty McCollum’s bill (H.R. 588) and Sen Tina Smith’s bill (S. 1366) would permanently protect the more than 225,000 acres of public land next to the Boundary Waters for your descendants.
