Vote NO on the so-called “Border Lands Conservation Act.”

As your constituent, I strongly urge you to publicly oppose S. 2967, the so-called “Border Lands Conservation Act.”

S. 2967 guts the Wilderness Act, potentially allowing the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to build roads, land aircraft, and install surveillance technology across America’s entire 112 million-acre National Wilderness Preservation System. Specifically, S. 2967 would allow DHS to do the following prohibited activities in Wilderness across the entire country: • Construct and maintain roads and physical barriers. • Deploy tactical infrastructure and technology, including observation points, remote video surveillance systems, motion sensors, vehicle barriers, fences, roads, bridges, drainages, and detection devices. • Use motor vehicles, motorboats, and motorized equipment. • Use aircraft, including landings and takeoffs. As your constituent, I urge you to oppose S. 2967.
